What should be paid attention to after an ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Patient's question:

Four years ago, after undergoing an ectopic pregnancy surgery, the needle mark from the spinal anesthesia would hurt when I was tired, causing lower back pain. Currently, no medication is being used.

Doctor's answer:

After an epidural anesthesia injection, the recurrence of lower back pain is relatively rare. If the case involves a urinary tract infection, lower back pain may also reappear. It is recommended that you visit a local hospital for an MRI of the lumbar spine to rule out nerve damage. If the issue is not serious, a urinalysis can be performed to rule out a urinary tract infection. If there are still no abnormalities, a color Doppler ultrasound of both kidneys can be conducted.
