What Causes Abdominal Discomfort And Acid Reflux Post Hysterectomy?
9 days post surgery total abdomen hysterectomy for ovarian cancer. Feeling of full stomach, able to eat only 1/2 cup volume @ meals, then have acid reflux rest of day. Am not in bed, walking and up moving around. Netx medical appointment 5 days. Is this something normal and will resolve on it s own?
Stomach upset may happen as a side effect of drugs. As you have had surgery very recently, very likely you have been using pain killers which in itself do cause stomach upset.
You may take omeprazole to help with the symptoms. If you notice no improvement with this treatment or you notice any worsening you will need to talk to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
