Brief Answer:
It means there is inflammation over scar.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I got your information. I understand your concern. I saw your report.

In my opinion, the edema over the scar means there is mild inflammation over the scar. Improper rest post surgery and on and off fever might have resulted in delayed healing and inflammation.
Excess strain on sutures due to improper rest and tension on sutures due to excess straining at constipation might also be the reason for this.

This inflammation and constipation causes pain and bloating.

I would suggest you to prevent constipation by taking adequate fluids upto 3 litres, high fibre diet and laxatives. Also take high protein diet to improve healing. Take tab.Lyser-D twice a day to decrease the pain and inflammation.

Adequate rest is important after major surgery. This might give you relief.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Brief Answer:
Rest and good diet are important after surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query. I understand your concern. I saw your all reports.

In my opinion all your reports like Urine culture ,liver function test, Fasting blood sugar and Hb are normal. But neutrophils are slightly in the upper range which is common in times of mild inflammation. I knew from your history that you have taken antibiotics.

The rapid heart rate, head numbness, on and off chest pain and feeling that everything is moving from place to place are all non specific symptoms and they might be due to stress and tension you are facing.

Along with laxatives you need to take adequate fluids and good diet as I said in your previous query.

Stress also might cause constipation and also decrease the milk output. So dont worry. Nothing is wrong in your body or bowels. Because if any abnormality were there it would have detected in MRI. Just there is mild inflammation over the scar which is causing the symptoms and it will subside soon.

Sorry the scar is not seen in the pic to give any opinion on it.

Adequate rest and good diet is much important after surgery for better healing.
If any fever develops along with increased heart rate it might suggest infection.Then you might need antibiotics after physical examination by your gynaecologist.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Brief Answer:
Xray might not be needed

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.I am glad to answer you again.

In my opinion mild adhesions might be commonly seen post surgery and they might not cause symptoms. And formation of adhesions depends on the nature of the body. And it varies in different individuals.

Peritonitis is infection of abdominal cavity where in there is high grade fever, vomitings and severe pain abdomen. Here the patient s general condition will not be stable and mostly requires hospital admission for management.

So these options might not be the cause for your symptoms. And delayed healing along with inflammation might causing you the symptoms.

But kindly let me know your temperature recording by thermometer and your complete blood count and any above said symptoms in order to rule out peritonitis. Abdominal Xray might not be required.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Brief Answer:
mild inflammation might subside with antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I got your query.

I understand your concern. I saw your MRI report.

In my opinion, the triangular focus over the scar is due to post operative changes as per radiologist. And it is clearly said that there is no fluid or blood collection.

So there might be nothing but for mild edema.

As there is no fluid or blood collection no need to worry.

The unnecessary reopening of scar might weaken the abdominal wall. If there is any collection there might be need for opening.

And if there is any infection in the body there will be elevated counts and leading to fever.
You have used pretty good antibiotics till now. Don't worry. If there is mild inflammation it might subside with zanocin course.

Kindly let me know your complete blood counts so that to know if there is any infection.

And relax. Do not take stress.

You are under correct treatment.

All non specific symptoms you are feeling might be due to stress.


Looking forward to hear from you.

Brief Answer:
They might be the sideeffects of ofloxacin

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the ofloxacin has sideeffects like gastritis,increased heart rate,ringing in ears,headache,nausea,vomitings etc.
The chest pain and pain under the ribs might be attributed to ofloxacin induced gastritis.
The ofloxacin can be taken about 400 mg twice daily upto 7 to 10 days.So you are not taking overdose dont worry.Amikacin and pipzo you have taken before and there is no chance to cause any effects now.So relax.
The backache is usually seen after delivery in lactating woman due to secretion of calcium in breast milk.So take a calcium tablet daily along with bevon which is also a multivitamin syrup and is quite useful.
The asthmatic drugs which you are taking are also not supposed to cause any sideeffects or interact with these medications.
Though you are feeling feverish it can be confirmed by recording the temperature by thermometer.
All symptoms are effect of medicines and stress and nothing serious in your body .Relax.
Hope this satisfies your query.

Brief Answer:
you can continue the daroloc

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I got your query. I understand your concern.
In my opinion ornidazole maximum dosage is 1500 mg per day and can be taken for a week.
You can continue the daroloc as constipation post surgery is not good.
Strech marks might not be infected madam because they are usually red in people with fair skin. They feel edematous post delivery. Because the skin is stretched in pregnancy they are not seen during pregnancy. And after delivery they are seen more clearly.I saw the picture of your abdomen there is no cellulitis.
Nothing might be wrong with your body madam and dont put your body to many investigations.CT scan has high radiation so it is done only when necessary. Just relax madam. Eat nutritional diet and dont feel tension.You will be ok.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Brief Answer:
pressure in upper abdomen doesn't harm

Detailed Answer:

Hello dear,
welcome to healthcare magic.

I got your query.I understand your concern.

In my opinion the abdominal muscles are stretched during pregnancy and split during Cartesian section .

So after surgery you need to rest properly and take proteinaceous diet to regain the muscle power.

So the symptoms you are feeling might be due to laxity of abdominal muscles and abdominal wall.This feeling is quite common post delivery.

At the time of baby delivery during caesarian section application of pressure in upper abdomen is routinely done .

That will not cause any harm .That is not the cause for your symptoms.Dont worry.
Hope this satisfies your query.

Feel free to ask any more queries.
