Hello,
With the question “Stomach pain, flatulence accompanied by many bowel movements after appendectomy, what should I do? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Based on the above information, in order to make a more accurate diagnosis, more information is needed such as whether your mother had laparoscopic surgery or open surgery? Have a fever? Nausea or vomiting? Maybe your mother has a residual abscess or fluid accumulation after surgery or colitis,...
Usually, after appendectomy, there may be digestive disorders for a while. But the number of bowel movements of your mother is too much, affecting health, living and psychological. Therefore, you should take your doctor to the nearest medical facility to be examined by experienced gastroenterologists, abdominal ultrasound, gastrointestinal endoscopy.
