Patient's question:
Medical Description: Had an ectopic pregnancy surgery at the end of June last year (on my left side). There have been no adverse reactions until now, but now I feel a persistent dull pain in my lower left abdomen. Could this be related to the ectopic pregnancy?History of Treatment and Effects: The surgery was relatively successful.
Desired Help: Understand exactly what is happening and whether there is a correlation between the two.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible to have a dull abdominal pain after surgery even a year later, as the internal wound takes 1 to 3 years to fully heal. It is normal to have a hard lump. If you are not reassured, you can have a follow-up examination.Additionally, if you experience right abdominal pain after a year of ectopic pregnancy, it may indicate inflammation in your body. If you develop a gynecological disease, women may also experience abdominal pain. You should promptly seek medical treatment. If there is inflammation, antibiotics such as cephalexin or azithromycin may be needed. After anti-inflammatory treatment, the gynecological condition can be addressed early, and the abdominal pain will subside.
