What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain And Blood In Urine With History Of Appendix?
Question: I have some pain in my upper stomach area and have had blood in my urine today that seems to be getting worse. I also had black stool earlier. I have had several surgeries in the past 3 years for hernia repairs, the last one in March of 2015 at which time they removed my appendix and gall bladder. In April they reopened the incision because it wasn't draining well. I had a wound vac for 4 months until that healed.
