What Are The Symptoms After Appendix And Ovarian Cyst Removal?

Hi, I am a 37 year old woman. I am 65 kgs, 170 cm.
I had my appendix removed 4 days ago, stayed in hospital for 2 days. The doctor said he removed also an ovarian cyst during the operation. Yesterday and today I had vaginal spotting, though my perioed is due in two weeks. The pain also radiates on the right side down to the uterus. Is this normal, should I go to the ER.
Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Vaginal spotting may not have any direct relation to the surgeries you have undergone.

The pain can in fact be related as both are in and near the pelvis , so it is normal for some time to get the pains as you described.
You may please attend the ER if there are associated symptoms like fever, vomiting, distension of abdomen, pain increasing with walking or changing the position in bed.
