Question
Hello Doctor! My name is Thư, I am 19 years old. I had a laparoscopic appendectomy 5 days ago, but now I feel nauseous and have loose stools. Recently, I have only been eating porridge and drinking milk. Can you advise me on my condition? Is it normal to experience nausea and loose stools 5 days after a laparoscopic appendectomy? Thank you, Doctor.

Hello! The symptoms of nausea and loose stools may indicate that you have acute gastroenteritis.
It is best in this case, 5 days after a laparoscopic appendectomy, to visit a medical facility or go directly to a hospital in the Vinmec Health System for a thorough examination and evaluation by a doctor.
Thank you for trusting and sharing your question with Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
