A month after laparoscopy procedure, my wife is suffering from pains on her lower right abdomen side, right underneath her rib cage. She describes it as a pressure pain, that coincidentally, she claims before the surgery this very same pressure pain was located lower, almost to where her appendix would be. What could be causing this pains? To give you more info: The procedure was to correct a cyst, that was missed by her gynecologist, but spotted by her gastroenterologyst, due to the fact that it was located outside her uterus.
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The typical pains in abdomen as pressure pains, could have been due to a problem with colon or so. This is so as the pain has persisted even after removal of the cyst. I would advise you the following. CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy.to get to the root of the problem. Enterocolitis if required. The final diagnosis for the pressure pains will lead to a proper treatment.
