Pain after exploratory laparotomy due to ectopic pregnancy

[wella1110]

Hi,

I have underwent an exploratory laparotomy last Sep 17, 2008 due to ectopic pregnancy.A paratubal cyst has been removed too during the surgery. Its been 4 mos now and yet i can still pain in the area and it seemed swollen still.  After the operation, it was very bloated and more swollen.  Now, it has improved a little but the pain is still there.  Is this normal?
thanks...

I had the same surgery to remove a hemoragic cyst in October. Now when I sneeze or cough with a full bladder sometimes I pee a little! Hahaha and I'm 24 years old. I am just waiting for it to get better with time. Every once in a while my scars act up. I've been told it takes a full year for all of the air and everything to heal.

I had same operation but due to lots of little cysts on my left overy bout 4years ago when i was 18 and I had recurring pain & slight swelling over my belly button & left hand side for about a year then it just stopped! you had invasive surgery and your body can take what feels like forever to heal! They went in through my belly button for my surgery and everytime someone touchs my belly button now it is so sensitive i get the urge to pee &slight pain as a consequence & pain always comes back over my left hand side when i have a burst cyst (I hope you don't have this because i wouldn't wish it on anyone) If it does carry on just check with your doctor that everything is ok, I've been given tramadol to take when my pain is bad &it works. Hope that helps let me know xxxx
