Is Sharp Abdominal Pain After Cyst Removal In Pregnancy, Normal?

Hi. Im just curious. I had my right overt and a 12cm cyst removed on friday january 10th. I was feeling really good up until last night. I have a secer sharp stabbing pain on my lower right abdominal area. I am also 20 weeks pregnant. Am i to be concerned? Is this part of the healing process? It seems to ease up when laying down on my side or sometimes sitting and hunched over. But gets worse when i walk.

Hi. This is definitely a part of the healing process. Sharp stabbing pain can not be due to pregnant uterus on its own. So i would think of something in abdomen that need an urgent look on. Urgent ultrasonography and may need an exploration if need be. Yes, you should be concerned and see a Doctor ASAP
