Does Pain In Mid Right Stomach Below The Breast Indicate Complications In Staples?

Should I be concerned?
Or is it just gas?
Do staples last forever without ripping?
This may not a spleen problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your faith and query.
First of all to clear the point- the spleen is on the left side of the upper abdomen well under the rib cage. The pain you described is on the right side of the abdomen bellow the right breast.
The possible reasons to get the pain are infection of liver/ gall bladder, pancreas and so on. To confirm the diagnosis I would recommend such a patient to undergo a clinical examination to get an idea and guideline for further investigations and management. Ultrasonography and an X-ray of the chest along with blood tests will be enough to get at a diagnosis.
You should be concerned as this may be a serious problem.
This can not a due to gas.
Staples last forever without ripping and your surgery was done way back in 1981. So no need to correlate with this.
Regards
