Patient's question:
On the 12th, I had my left ovary and fallopian tube removed. Now, I have pain on the left side, and it also hurts below the navel when I press it—it feels hard. The wound isn't painful anymore. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Oophorectomy and salpingectomy, postoperative full recovery typically takes about 1-2 months. Since it is a surgical procedure on the adnexa, it is prone to complications such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease after surgery. Currently, there is local discomfort in the left lower abdomen, which is related to postoperative infection and the degree of recovery. First, personal hygiene in the lower body should be improved. Second, depending on the severity of the pain, it may be necessary to visit the hospital for an ultrasound follow-up to understand the condition of the adnexa and pelvic cavity, and to take appropriate anti-inflammatory measures. Do not have sexual intercourse until full recovery is achieved. The recurrence of fallopian tubes poses a serious threat to women's health, and patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene throughout their lives.
