View allI'm 10 weeks pregnant and recently had an incomplete abortion, so I went through a D&C procedure on June 9th. Now, I've noticed there's some swelling in my abdomen, and it's quite painful. I only had bleeding for 2 to 3 days after the D&C. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
Swelling and pain in the abdomen can be common after a D&C procedure. However, if the symptoms are severe or persistent, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to rest and avoid strenuous activities. If the symptoms worsen or you experience heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.

Had laparoscopic cystectomy for a 7cm dermoid ovarian cyst on October 11th but still feeling sore around the incisions with abdominal pain and backache. How long until full recovery and is flying to another state 20 days after surgery safe?
Full recovery after a laparoscopic cystectomy can take 4-6 weeks, depending on individual factors. Flying 20 days after surgery might be risky if you're still experiencing pain, especially back pain, which can indicate discomfort from the surgery. It's best to consult with your surgeon before making any travel plans.

My mom has stage 3c ovarian cancer and has done 3 chemo cycles but it doesn't seem to be working well. She's down to just 27kg and one doctor suggested debulking surgery. I'm really concerned how risky would surgery be at her current weight and what are her chances of pulling through
Debulking surgery at 27kg in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer presents significant risks, but also potentially offers a chance at better outcomes. While the surgery itself is risky due to the patient's weakened state, it could reduce the tumor burden and potentially improve response to subsequent chemotherapy. The decision should be made after careful consideration of all factors, including the patient's overall health, the extent of the cancer, and the potential benefits of surgery.
