Hello,
I would expect from the history of
laparoscopy and the findings that you have described that the left-sided ectopic and blood clot was removed. Do you know what happened exactly - was the ectopic ruptured and was the whole of tube removed? Usually, with ectopic
pregnancy, sometimes conservative treatment of injecting drugs into the ectopic sac is also done, in which case a follow up of blood tests is done where pregnancy hormone levels are measured every two days until it comes down to near normal level.
I would suggest first of all that you take painkillers such as
paracetamol alone or paracetamol with
Ibuprofen (if you are not asthmatic or with low platelets) or paracetamol with codeine. Please get a full blood count, CRP and
serum beta HCG levels tested in blood. A routine urine examination may be useful if you are having symptoms related to the passing of urine. Discuss the symptoms and results with the gynecologist who operated. Possibilities are - persistent ectopic, adhesions within, ongoing inflammation or
endometriosis due to seeding of cells of the womb lining into the abdomen.
A thorough review should help understand the nature of pain and get suitable treatment. Bear in mind that the most likely scenario is that
wound healing of recent laparoscopy and removed ectopic would take time. Even though surface healing is fairly quick - inner strength and healing take time. Some soreness may be attributable to this and should settle over time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sabina Hussain
