Hi There,
I think you need to be seen by your surgeon. You are in the time after surgery where I worry about surgery related problems.
I would list these as:
---infection
---pneumonia
---bladder infection
---kidney infection
---blockage of the ureters (the tubes that take the urine from kidney to the bladder)
---bowel obstruction
---blood clot in the lungs
and it could just be gas. So please see you surgeon for a careful check up
take care

Hi Phoenix, you should see your doctor. You may have an infection under the scar or you could be developing a thick scar called a keloid.
dear Barreld,
It is unusual not to see the ureter but it depends on the surgical technique used at surgery.
best wishes
hi! i had a huge ovarian mass removed 3 months ago. I had a 7 inch long vertical laparotomy. the part of the scar that is in my pubic area is red, sore, bulging and sort of looks like a "leech". are these signs of a hernia. when i apply pressure or lean back, the scar still hurts. i am still unable to wear jeans. are these signs of hernia. would appreciate any feedback.
how long do you think it will take for me to completely healed? thanks!
I did see my medical records and it stated the left ureter was never seen, is this common?
so sorry that you feel so bad. I would for sure talk to your doctor again. you cant go thorough pain like that. i had a ct scan and they said they could not see my right uter. i wonderied the same thing. the urologist was not worried about it. but i wonder should i be also.
hope you feel better soon keep us posted
