I recently had surgery, and I was able to drive about a week later. (I probably could have done it sooner, but you will probably be on pain meds which interfere with your ability to drive). As long as you can handle the pain of sitting up as your stomach muscles heal, you can drive. I would say that without meds you could drive within a day or two.
What else can I help you with?

What is done when you have a ectopic pregnancy?
Well there are usually a small handful of possibilities that comes to treating an ectopic pregnancy. One, the ectopic pregnancy dies and the mothers body reabsorbs the egg and at times is never even detected and the woman might have never even known she was pregnant. If you encountered a positive pregnancy test then a later did another one and it came back negative, that could have been a possibility that it was an ectopic pregnancy. Or the other possibility with an ectopic pregnancy is that the tube that is holding the ectopic pregnancy may rupture causing severe abdominal pain and may cause extreme complications and surgery may be needed. If the ectopic pregnancy is detected by a physician, then he/she may prescribe a drug called methotrexate, which is injected into a muscles and ends the pregnancy. If the embryo is small enough doctors can remove the embryo through laparoscopic surgery and can usually save the tube. In this situation, a general anesthetic will be used and you will need to take about a week to recover. * http://www.multikulti.org.uk/en/health/ectopic-pregnancy/ * http://www.babycenter.com/0_ectopic-pregnancy_229.bc?articleId=229&page=4 * http://www.medinfo2004.org/get-to-know-about-ectopic-pregnancy-174/ You will most likely have to undergo minor surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy or you can be prescribed medication that will end the pregnancy.

The death rate of mothers from ectopic pregnancies is around 0.1-0.3. To reduce this risk, early detection through regular prenatal care and prompt medical intervention are crucial. Treatment options include medication or surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy and prevent complications. It is important for women to be aware of the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy and seek medical help if they experience any concerning signs.
What is the surgical procedure for ectopic pregnancy?
The surgical procedure for an ectopic pregnancy typically involves a laparoscopic or open surgery to remove the ectopic tissue. In most cases, this involves either salpingectomy, where the affected fallopian tube is removed, or salpingostomy, where an incision is made in the tube to remove the ectopic tissue while preserving the tube. The choice of procedure depends on factors like the size of the ectopic mass and the patient's overall health. Prompt surgical intervention is crucial to prevent complications, such as rupture and internal bleeding.
Is ectopic pregnancy curable?
Ectopic pregnancy is not viable and cannot continue to term, but it is treatable. The most common treatments involve medication, such as methotrexate, to stop the growth of the ectopic tissue, or surgical intervention to remove the ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications, such as internal bleeding. While ectopic pregnancy cannot result in a successful pregnancy, most women can still conceive in the future.

What would be the implications for managing ectopic pregnancies if abortion were to become illegal?
If abortion were to become illegal, managing ectopic pregnancies could become more challenging. Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube. In these cases, the pregnancy is not viable and can be life-threatening for the pregnant person if not treated promptly. Without the option of abortion, healthcare providers may need to explore alternative treatments such as surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy, which could increase the risks and complications for the patient. It is important to consider the potential impact on women's health and access to timely and safe medical care in such scenarios.
I am 5-6 weeks pregnant. I had a day where I had sharp steady pain in my lower left side of my abdomen at about a 4 on a 1-10 pain scale. It is gone should I still worry about ectopic pregnancy?
the cramps with my ectopic pregnancy came and went ( sometimes days went by with no pain at all) i never had really intense pain until after my tube shredded and at that point the pain i felt most was just the internal bleeding compressing my other organs. i had to have emergency surgery to stop the hemorrhage and remove the damaged fallopian tube. pain and/or cramping on just one side (even if it comes and goes) can be an indicator that the pregnancy is ectopic.
Is using methotrexate effective in an ectopic pregnancy?
