Can The Scar On Pelvic Bone After Appendectomy Cause Severe Pain?

Post my appendectomy, my monthly flow was late. I complained to the Doctor and he downplayed the severity. I later had my monthly flow.

And ever since my monthly cramps is more severe and the pain is always situated on the right side. (Never the left side). Though not around the appendectomy scar rather its situated on the pelvic bone, just below the scar.

Should I be worried?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem and I would say that the pain because of the surgical scar is very unlikely, If I would be your doctor then I would treat you conservatively with the "Dicylomine and Ibuprofen 400 mg " twice in day for few days, and it fails to respond then I would ask for further investigation because, right iliac fossa have many important anatomical structure beneath, so investigation is necessary, but this regime will eliminate the pain, take care and have nice time.
