Hello Doctor,
I had an appendectomy 3 weeks ago, and now I am experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting again. Could you please advise if this is normal 3 weeks after the surgery? Thank you.

Hello,
Regarding your question, "Is it normal to have abdominal pain and vomiting 3 weeks after an appendectomy?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Post-surgery, 3 weeks after an appendectomy, if you experience abdominal pain and vomiting, it is advisable to see a digestive surgeon to rule out possible complications such as appendiceal stump twist or early postoperative bowel obstruction.
If you still have concerns about vomiting after 3 weeks post-appendectomy, you can visit a hospital in the Vinmec Health System for further examination and consultation. Thank you for trusting us with your question. Wishing you good health.
Best regards!
