Pain on other side?

Post by ihm1 »

Hi,
I had an ectopic surgery that was treated with laparoscopic surgery to remove my fallopian tube on my right side. This was two weeks ago on Friday and today I’m experiencing a twinging on my left side hip. It’s not super painful but it is uncomfortable. Has anyone experienced this / have an idea why that could be?
I’m just a little bit worried as this was meant to be my healthy side :(

Dear ihm,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
Experiencing some pain after an ectopic pregnancy is normal as your body has been through a great deal over the last few weeks. Your body may be preparing to ovulate and many women experience ovulation pain when they did not before their ectopic pregnancy - including myself. You also may have a heightened perception because of the sad loss that you have had to go through and it is still very early in your recovery journey, so it is possible that there is still generalised swelling from the surgery. If you find you experience offensive smelling discharge or an increased temperature of more than 37°C or just want to be checked out to be on the safe side, it would be worth asking your doctors to run tests to check for infection.

Sending much love,
Karen x
