Had Salpingectomy, Started Bleeding Again, On Paracetamol, Having Abdomen Pain. What Could Be The Cause?
Hi, I had a salpingectomy 6 days ago, seemed to be healing ok but I just started bleeding again which had stopped a few hours after the surgery. I also am still on 1000 mg paracetamol and 400 mg ibuprophene but have developed more pain on the left side of my abdomen where the laparascopy was than in the last few days.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Increasing pain a week after a surgery and bleeding can be caused by fluid collection in the surgery area. Most probable is hematoma (blood accumulation). Such fluid collection can be a source of infection and turn into an abscess. That is why you should not wait with it.
I suggest you to visit your gynecologist right away. Blood work, CRP, abdominal ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound is necessary.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
