I just had my ileocecal valve removed about 3 weeks ago...the doctor now has my small bowel directly attached to my large bowel...i am having lower abdominal pain like cramping, constant thirst, right side sharp pain with gas or bms and abdominal distension...I need advice on what to expect..
Hi. Thanks for your query. All the symptoms you have describes can be due to infection with an abscess formation. Ultrasound or CT scan will help to prove or rule out this and to find any other causes of your symptoms. My advice would be to report to ER immediately. The admission and investigations will help to get a diagnosis and plan for a further management. Be nil orally till you are asked to.
