What Causes Infection At The Site Of Incision?

hi! i had surgery on may 9th, 2014, a laparoscopy , hysteroscopy and mimomectomy. they removed 9 fibroids from my uterus and i was sent home. after a few hours I had to return to ER because one incision was blowing up and the doctor told me they may have got a nerve or somehting when closing incision and causing a huge hematoma. 45 days later i am still in pain and now he says he sees a cyst 2 inches on my right ovary, how come he did not see it when he did the laparoscopy. he sent me to tak norethindrone for 1 days to shrink cyst, is this right? I am 39 and looking for my first child

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

It is possible that on laparoscopy doctor may not be able to see the cyst on ovary.

Cyst can only be visualised if the prior USG has been conducted. On such case missing cyst is a mistake.

Norethisterone won't shrink in single day. It takes some time to get it shrink.

I think you should take the second opinion regarding your condition.

Till that time you should avoid any work causing pressure on abdomen like bending etc.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
