Patient's question:
I have been five days post-laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy surgery. Yesterday, I had my stitches removed and was discharged. However, after going home, I've had some light spotting similar to menstruation. I also keep feeling the urge to use the bathroom to have a bowel movement, but nothing comes out. Additionally, I've been experiencing a persistent, mild, and slightly sharp pain in my abdomen.Doctor, is this normal? Is it normal to still have a persistent, mild, and slightly sharp pain in the abdomen after laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy surgery?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is abnormal to have pelvic infection, which is prone to recurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulation. For severe ectopic pregnancy patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication to treat the condition, as this may worsen the situation. Rest regularly, prevent wound infection, and actively treat the condition.
