<human>: Hello, I recently had a laparascopic surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. It s been 9 days since my surgery, and up until a couple of days ago, everything was fine. Starting about two or three days ago, I started having pain, not at my surgical site, but in the lower middle portion of my abdomen. In addition, the surgical site is now hard (only just got hard today) and is itchy and has a giant ridge of tissue. I m hoping this is normal, but I just wanted to make sure that there was no cause to worry. Can you help? Thanks!
<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The cause of pain in the lower middle portion of the abdomen can be due to the following causes as after about 7 days of Laparoscopic Ovarian cyst Surgery:-Adhesion between the operated site and the intestines or any other organ.-Hematoma formation at the operation site or in the abdominal wall. -Injury to any organ which is evident a bit late and this is possible, The best way would be:-Get a physical examination done for per-abdominal and per-vaginal examination by a Gynecologist and / or a General Surgeon. -Urgent ultrasonography of the whole abdomen and if required the CT scan to confirm or rule out any major problem.-A course of medicines as required.-Diagnostic Laparoscopy to see the exact problem and to solve it too at the same time.
