Patient's question:
After giving birth for a year, I had an appendectomy surgery about ten years ago. There's a slight pain a little bit below the right navel, which comes and goes, and it hurts when my posture changes. What could be the reason for this? Should I undergo a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
Based on the medical history information you have described, you are definitely not experiencing appendicitis now because your appendix has already been removed. This may be a good reason to visit the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to carefully examine whether it is pelvic inflammatory disease or intestinal adhesion caused by the appendectomy. After diagnosis, treatment can be administered. The above is the advice for the question "Is it a sequela after giving birth six months ago and having an appendectomy 10-20 years ago?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
