Question 8

sometimes i feel a pressure(a little strong) on the right lower quadrant of abdomen and weak pain. what it can be? (( i don't have appendix ))

Accepted Answer

RLQ pain: There is a long list of reasons for pain in the right lower quadrant. Since you are male and you don't have your appendix anymore, it decreases the list a bit. If you have severe pain with decreased appetite, vomiting, and/or fever, you might be having an emergency for which you should go to the emergency department. At a minimum you should see your doctor about this.

Question 9

i suddenly started feeling extremely nauseated, dry heaves, my body heat escalated quickly, felt extremly weak, and my abdomen hurt. what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenteritis.: This sounds like acute gastroenteritis - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pains, fever, chills and sweats are all possible components of this.  Could be viral or food-borne, perhaps something you ate last night that may have been undercooked or mishandled.  Typically lasts 3-5 days.  If it gets much worse, or if it lasts longer than that, see a doctor.

Question 10

i was told today that i needed to have open surgery to correct a weak spot and seroma in my abdomen. i know what to except with the weak spot but what does surgery for the seroma intell?

Accepted Answer

Fluid collection: A weak spot refers to an abdominal wall hernia. A seroma is a fluid collection made of serum a component of the blood stream without the red blood cells. Usually a seroma can occur after a hernia repair. Please clarify with the surgeon if they meant that you "could" develop a seroma versus you already having a seroma.
