Hey girls! I hope everyone is doing well! I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for exactly. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of the symptoms I've been having after my laparoscopy which was about a week ago (june 10th). I'm not really even that sore anymore in my actual incisions, but I've been having a weird pain that is getting progressively worse in my lower right-hand front abdominal area. It's sore and little swollen to the touch. Also, when I urinate it causes a sharp pain in that area, and I feel like I have to pee all the time now. The pain when peeing isn't a burning pain though, which I thought was characteristic of a UTI (I've never had one before). It's getting progressively worse and is becoming consistently achy. Any thoughts or experiences with this?

A UTI is possible because during your surgery you probably had a catheter in and those run a risk of infection. Best would be to check with your doc. Have you had your post op yet?

I would defintely scoot into your doctor to get a UA (urine analysis) as soon as possible to rule that out. Its a simple test and its NOT a good thing to ignore if it is. Hopefully its something simple like that, because even though its annoying it is fixable.

A UTI could be possible and it is best to get that UA that Omak suggested. I also wonder if you have had your post-op appointment yet. Did your surgeon do a lot of work around that ovary? Sometimes it takes us a while to feel the soreness from surgery because the anesthesia takes time to wear off. Once the medications they gave you in the hospital wear off you start to feel strange things which can indicate where they did a lot of the work inside. It takes a while to heal but it's good to at least keep an eye on things that are seemingly getting worse.

I have my post-op on the 27th so, about a week from now. I still have this weird pain in my right side which worsens when I pee, but it hasn't gotten much worse these past couple days so I think it might just be normal surgery pains working themselves out. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it to be sure. Thanks guys!
