Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Abdominal Pains And Heavy Bleeding Normal After Surgery?
I am 46, peri menopause, 4 hernia surgeries in one year along with gall bladder and merkels divertcuilm surgery. Opened from sternum to belly button now have mesh holding me closed. Problem:pain around my belly button sight ( last surgery 12/12) and bleed heavy after heavy lifting...... Normal?
noted history of several surgeries for hernia and recent abdominal pain associated with heavy bleeding. is the pain associated with redness, swelling or warmth over the operative site or not? post-operative pain can occur even for those who have been operated on several years back. pain/discomfort must be tolerable in character, resolving spontaneously. if the pain is persistent/progressive, it is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation. re your heavy bleeding, it is best if you consult with a gynecologist with regards to this matter. your abnormal menses may be due to your menopausal status, but other gynecologic pathologies for abnormal uterine bleeding (such as endometriosis, myoma, etc.) must also be ruled-out.. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, blood counts, etc.) and management (medicla and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
