Question 1

had appendix surgery  4/10/12, been 3 months post surgery & i started to feel  some discomfort  around the top right hand side of my navel area!?

Accepted Answer

Probably an adhesion: Appendectomy is a relatively simple procedure but occasionally leaves people with abdomenal adhesions, flimsy connections between bowel and peritoneum. These connections are 'normal' but can cause some discomfort when they tug on the sensitive peritoneum, the lining of the stomach.  Many times they adjust themselves so nothing needs to be done, .

Question 2

got appendix surgery 3 months ago  but after 5 days there was a bladder pain, urine culture is fine but mild pain is still on bladder and pelvic area?

Accepted Answer

Bladder leak: If your appendectomy was done laproscopically the midline trocar could have nicked your bladder.  Consult your surgeon, he may want to do a cystogran to check for a leak

Question 3

pain around the penis area 2 weeks after appendix surgery ! is this normal ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Penile pain after an appendectomy is not common.  If you had a Foley catheter during the procedure, you may have some irritation from that .  A urinary tract infection is also a possibility.  I would recommend a visit with your doctor for a urinalysis.

Question 4

i had my appendix surgery 3 years back since then i have similar pain in my operated area 
and vomiting. appendiceal opening still seen in colonscopy?

Accepted Answer

See a doc: my best advice us to go see a doctor,  prob a surgeon. May want to do a ct scan and see what is going on

Question 5

hello docs. i was wondering can we eat eggs after appendix surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually fine: Eating eggs is totally permissible for those that do not have an appendix, if it was removed for acute appendicitis.  On rare occasion, undiagnosed intolerance or allergy to eggs can result in a misdiagnosis of appendicitis.  In this case, the symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea) will persist after appendectomy, since the allergy is in the intestinal tract.  If this is the case, see an allergist.

Question 6

how can i reduce my tummy? i had appendix surgery 12 years ago

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: 42 year old gentleman with question about weight reduction. Examine your diet carefully and commit to making behavioral changes. Get a physical from your MD to make sure exercise is safe. Next, study healthy foods for each meal and change your diet. Weight reduction around the midsection requires a strict diet, especially in the evening. Wake up early and exercise each day. Good luck.

Question 7

2 years back i had appendix surgery after that i am unable to digest fatty foods and meat i vomit mostly whenever i eat.

Accepted Answer

Serious condition: This requires more or ouch evaluation. You could have a partial bowel obstruction due to previous abdominal surgery but in all likelihood, this is not directly related to the appendectomy. It sounds as of you may have a malabsorption syndrome or possible disease effecting the bile duct, pancreas or gallbladder. Discuss with your primary care physician or gastroenterologist.

Question 8

hi, it's been over 10 days after i appendix surgery filling weak, dizzy, cold low temperature, pain on and off on the back left side.  tks?

Accepted Answer

You need to be seen: You may have an infection which may or may not be related to the surgery.  Go today.

Question 9

thank you doctor ....i got an appendix surgery ion 18th of may, 2015 after week there was a pain in my bladder until i go for urine. and yes it was  l?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: If you have surgery in May , and still have pressure symptoms on urinary bladder , need to see your surgeon to make sure you did not have loculated pus pocket(s) on the top of bladder &amp; pelvis  , some times in bad ruptured one will form abscess in pelvis , may need drainage after localization by radiologist .

Question 10

how long after appendix surgery may i drive again?

Accepted Answer

When you feel ready: If you can walk around the house and walk to the car, you may drive.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
