Followup w surgeon: while pain near incision is common, new pain x3D shud have followup/discussion w ur surgeon. Red flags e.g. fever, increasing redness near incision site, increased pain/tenderness, or bleed would require more urgent evaluation. Wud need more info re other sxs, including urinary, and r/o pregnancy (even if on pills). Happy to consult to rv details, if more questions.
