I had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago for an ectopic pregnancy, but I still get sharp pains sometimes where they did the surgery. Why is it still hurting like this?

Post-laparoscopy pain can persist due to adhesions, nerve sensitivity, or healing tissues. If worsening or accompanied by other symptoms, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound may be needed.

I'm dealing with this constant tingling sensation in my anus and vagina, and it's really messing with my focus at work and even my sleep. Washing the area after urinating gives me some short relief, and sitting down after I've been walking or standing for long periods helps a bit too. I'm wondering if there are any natural remedies or maybe an ayurvedic solution that could help with this?

try drinking plenty of water to help flush out any potential infection. You can also try taking cranberry supplements or drinking cranberry juice to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Additionally, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams like Clotrimazole for vaginal itching and discomfort. Make sure to maintain good hygiene practices and wear cotton underwear to keep the area dry and clean. If the symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
