What Causes Severe Pain In Lower Left Abdomen After A Laparoscopic Surgery?

I know my platelet count was high but no one is doing anything about it what should I do? I followed up with GI specialist he ordered a CT scan which showed free fluid in the anterior abdominal wall which suggest hematoma. I was just wondering if it is normal the pain go from left lower quadrant to lumbar region? I also had positive occult stool : (

Hello,
It may be due to minor bleeding or trauma during the surgery. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself. A follow-up ultrasound may be needed.
