Pain After Surgery
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had laparoscopic surgery about a week and a half ago, and I still cannot pee without being in terrible pain. It doesn’t feel like a UTI to me; it’s a pain that starts around my bellybutton and then kind of fans outward from there and lasts a few minutes. But it’s bad enough that I can’t stand or breathe very well. I did call my surgeon, but he wasn’t available and the nurse I talked to told me not to worry about it. But I’m worrying anyway. Have any of you ever experienced anything like this?

I had pain, but only for 2-3 days after at the most. I would call again if you don't feel like it is improving.

I find leaning forward helps A LOT. That's what I'd do when I was having pain before surgery and it's been helping me since surgery as well. Finding the right angle was a bit tricky, but worth the effort.

I always get UTIs after I have a catheter. I got one last year after my lap and it did not feel like a regular UTI but my numbers were off the charts.
