Patient's question:
Since the teratoma surgery, my lower back has been in pain. However, I feel much better after drinking honey. Is this reasonable? After two months, I went mountain climbing, and the day after finishing the climb, I had occasional pain at the site of the tumor. It has been ongoing for a week. What could be the reason? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Are you undergoing laparoscopic surgery or open surgery, as this is highly related to postoperative abdominal pain. Additionally, I would very much like to know whether you were able to get up and move around soon after the surgery. Are you still lying in bed or have you already started moving around? If you had laparoscopic surgery, abdominal pain within the first two or three days after the surgery is often related to the presence of carbon dioxide gas in the abdomen. It stimulates the nerves. Moreover, if you haven't been very active after the surgery, there is a possibility of pelvic adhesion, which could also cause pain.
