Question: Dr. Indranil XXXXXXX

Please let the doctor know I did do the hysterectomy. Thankfully the pap smear showed no malignant cells. But I am having severe pains in the abdomen area.

What can I used to relief this . Also loss of appetite

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for reverting.

It's good to know the pap smear is negative for cancer. Have they taken any biopsy too? Is the result awaited?

For pains, we often use paracetamol and/or drotaverine. Please discuss with your doc, if this is applicable for you. It should settle in a few days.

Hope this helps.

Hello Dr. I am back in hospital as I developed small bowel obstruction after the surgery. They have put a mpg tube to decompress the stomach.

How serious is this ?

Answered by Dr. Indranil Ghosh (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Can happen, not infrequently

Detailed Answer:
Adhesions between bowel can form after surgery, which are usually managed with no feed, iv fluids and nasogastric tube aspiration.

With these, it usually subsides in 2-3 days and the. siet can be restarted.

Wishing you swift recovery.

Answered by Dr. Indranil Ghosh (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It'll take some time to settle

Detailed Answer:
Hi
It's good to know you are back from hospital. The weakness will resolve gradually as you start taking food. Sometimes we give some supplements in this period, like Ensure. If your blood pressure is high, then you need proper medications for that. Please let your doctor know about your BP.

Things will surely improve over time.
