Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
After my appendix was removed with three small incisions, I have been feeling a pulse or throbbing feeling in my abdomen. It only started recently (two weeks after surgery) and I feel it quite often now. What is it and what can I do? I am now three weeks post-surgery.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for reaching out to iCliniq.
I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms and pictures sent, I believe you have developed a possible post-operative swelling or adhesion that is preventing adequate blood flow within your abdomen. I do not think it is a pathology ailment for it will subside. Please take tablet vasopressin 75 mg for one week. If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
