It's been 10 days since my lipoma surgery but the wound hasn't healed yet and there's still pus buildup with a bad smell - is this normal or should I be worried about infection?

Surgery that involves a cut (incision) in the skin can lead to a wound infection after surgery. Most surgical wound infections show up within the first 30 days after surgery. Surgical wound infections may have pus draining from them and can be red, painful or hot to touch. You might have a fever and feel sick

I'm feeling this pain in my lower right stomach that's been there since yesterday, and it just won't go away. Plus, I've got this constant nauseous feeling like I need to vomit, but nothing's happening. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it? I'm starting to get really worried.

The pain in the lower right stomach along with the feeling of nausea can be indicative of various conditions. One common cause for these symptoms is appendicitis, which is inflammation of the appendix. Other possible causes include gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, or even issues with the reproductive organs. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and treatment.
