Persistent Stomach Pain After Laproscopic Surgery For Hernia. Ultrsound Showed Normal. Advice

Dear Sir, My mother had a laproscopic surgery for hernia 8 months back in Hyderabad. We were told by the surgeon that the intestines got sticky and had to operate with a mesh. Since 5 months, she keeps getting stomach pain. We did ultrasound abdomen for thrice and it showed all parameters normal and but she keeps getting pain and suffering. Can you please advise the next steps.
regards-

hello,
pains comming from stomach may have many origins. Your mother's problem does not seem to me related with her previous intervention.

One of the most comon reasons is gastritis, ulceration etc. In such a case in general the pain is not the same all the time, it may be stronger early in the morning, and in the spring and autumn. Also can be calm down after eating, drinking milk etc.
Some of the factors of the risc for this disease are smoking, stress, coffee, alcool, spicy food etc.

An other origin can be a inflamation of the pancreas. The most common symptoms of pancreatitis are severe upper abdominal burning pain radiating to the back, nausea, and vomiting that is worsened with eating.Eighty percent of cases of pancreatitis are caused by alcohol and gallstones.

I suggest her to effect a fibroscopic examination and blood test to measure her amylase.

Kind regards
