Had Surgery For Tumors In Abdomen, Adrenal Gland Removed, Experiencing Pain, Kidney Issue . Reason? Treatment?
Hello. I had surgery 7 weeks ago to remove 3 benign tumors in my abdomen . I had 2 large dermoid ovarian tumors (size of an orange and grapefruit) and my adrenal gland was removed due to the adrenal tumor being the size of a racquetball. Fast forward to last week and I suddenly began experiencing pain in my lower right side. Sometimes it is in my lower abdomen (similar to the feeling I had when I had the ovarian cysts) and sometimes it is in my right lower back. I am concerned that I am getting another cyst or that I have an issue with my kidney. Other than the tumors, I ve been a very healthy person. I m 5 3 and weigh 105 lbs. Could you provide any insight as to why I would be feeling this particular pain? Thank you, Keri

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone surgery for removal of ovarian tumour and adrenal tumour as well 7 weeks back and now getting pain in lower abdomen .
Most likely this pain may be due to post operative adhesions in abdomen which develop due to surgery
Most of the tie these adhesions get absorbed over a period of time.
However consult the surgeon who has performed the surgery for evaluation and further treatment.He may advise to get ultrasound scanning of the abdomen to confirm the diagnosis,
In the mean while take pain killers like Brufen available over the counter of medical store.
