A member asked:

Mum had large cyst removed + ovary 2 weeks ago. didn't have keyhole surgery. suffering shortness of breath going upstairs and all the time. she is 78?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs help: She needs immediate evaluation. Blood clots in the pelvis which travel to the lungs are a common complication of pelvic surgery. Her age places her at risk of cardiac complications like heart attack and heart failure too. Pneumonia is common after anesthesia. Have her seen as soon as possible.
