CHRONICPAIN: C-section scar ectopic pregnancy with retained tissue: pain and discolored CMFrom: Karen (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 9 Aug 2007 09:51:32 -0500 (CDT)
I posted previously regarding the c-section scar ectopic pregnancy I had. My last post detailed that despite undetectable hCG levels, I still have some retained placenta increta in the scar, 2.1 x 2.1 x 1.5 cm in size. My doctor's recommendation was to wait three months and see if it breaks down on its own. I started on birth control pills to avoid pregnancy until my uterus's integrity can be evaluated. I just recently had my first period since my hCG levels became undetectable. Flow and duration were normal, but I found the period to be very painful. I had lots of cramping and pain on my right side (where tissue is.) I found that when I relaxed my muscles to urinate, the pain was considerable worse (definitely gyno pain, not UTI pain.) My period ended four days ago, and all pain stopped when my period did. I am on cycle day 9 today, and I have pain again. A trip to the bathroom just revealed that I have what I can only describe as abundant egg white cervical mucus, and it is discolored (brown, yellow, and green.) I do not believe I have a fever. As I passed the CM, I had bad pain on my right side (again, in approximate location of the tissue.) Could this retained tissue cause an infection? I know I should just call my doctor, but I don't want to be an alarmist if this is normal (I've considered the possibility that it is just normal EWCM and some leftover blood from my period is mixed in.) At what point should I call the doctor? Thank you.
