Hi everyone,

I had a laparoscopy procedure to remove my appendix in Tawakkal (Acute, Non Ruptured) 4 weeks ago and till now i occasionally have nausea and malaise which comes and goes.
My external surgical wound looks fine though. Once awhile i will have pulling sensations on my lower right abdomen (where the appendix was removed).
I read many articles which seem to point to either Intra Abdominal Abscess or internal Adhesions.  sad.gif

Please share your experience/complications or any General Surgeon/Gastroenterologists in KL.

if no fever and wound healing well, unlikely abscess.

a bit of adhesions forming is unavoidable. that's just how the body works. as long as no vomiting, passing flatus and defecation is ok........then there is no intestinal obstruction due to adhesion.

anyway, nausea can be caused by medication you are taking.......for example tramadol.....which is a commonly used painkiller after surgery.
