still have alot of pai

I had a partial hysterectomy a year ago due to fibroids. Two weeks ago I had to have ovaries removed due to  cysts, had a complex cyst with lesions on left ovary and cysts on right overy. I also had free fluid in the pelvic region. I now have severe pain again on my left side under my rib cage (had this before surgery)that radiates across my lower back. I have to uriante quite frequently and this causes alot of pain in my abdomen, my stomach has also swollen up again like before I had surgery and have a general felling of just being ill, tired all the time cant sit or stand for very long. Is this something that I should be concerned about, am really fearing the worst, please advise.

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

I did see my medical records and it stated the left ureter was never seen, is this common?
