[|Human|] My husband is complaining of pain in his lower right side. He has had his gallbladder and appendix removed. He has also had numerous surgeries in the stomach area for bypasses to his legs . Was wondering if this might be a result of scar tissue or perhaps pancreatic issue.
[|AI|]  Hi.what your husband is experiencing, probably is, post-operative pain/discomfort, which usually happens after surgery. It gradually decreases in intensity as recovery ensues. If he was operated on several years ago, and pain is progressive, a follow-up consult with his surgeon is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Does he have regular flatus and bowel movement? Bowel obstruction, secondary to post-operative adhesions, must also be ruled-out in cases like this. Diagnostics (such as imaging and blood works) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
