Should I Consult A Doctor As I Am Having Pain And Swelling In Stomach After The Surgery?

I am about 4 weeks post op. I am experiencing pain on a level of about a 6 or 7 in my abdomen area. I am already on an antibiotic for a bladder infection and possible infection in my abdomen. I was also diagnosed with having a hematoma last week. The pain has not gone away, my stomach is swollen and tender to the touch. Do I need to call my doctor?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

You definitely need to get in touch with your doctor as you are experiencing signs of pain and tenderness. Patients suffering from bladder infection may also present with abdominal pain. I suggest you get in touch with your doctor and get the prescription of antibiotics changed as you do not seem to be responding to them.
Thanks.
