Hello,
With the question “Does swallowing custard apple 7 days after appendectomy have any effect? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Swallowing most of the seeds will go out through the anus, so it will not affect health. You should monitor the condition of abdominal pain if abdominal pain is much, it may be a complication: intestinal obstruction, perforation (extremely rare because the seeds are smooth).
If you still have questions about swallowing custard apple 7 days after appendectomy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
