Hello, I certainly used get all sorts of odd sensations in my stomach and intestines. Particularly after my debulking. I put it down to my insides adjusting themselves to the extra space!

Not anything to worry about as far as I am aware. xx

Hi yes I get them frequently, can only feel it when I’m laying down so usually at night time, I think that it wind/gas moving through the intestines.

Hi

Tbh my tummy has never felt ‘normal’ as it did before diagnosis,it must be down to the surgery if so many women experience it x

I would err on the side of caution and try to find out why? Especially if there is pain attached to it even slightly don’t want to miss anything

I get those all the time, even 3 years after surgery. It's gas bubbles.

my abdomen has simply not felt the same after my surgery this past March, so coming onto a year. There is some pull or strain that I feel everyday; bloating also due to Olaparib. Today did my first 1 minute plank after the surgery; ignoring the tight pull felt inside.
