My son recently had an appendectomy. He told me that he felt paid in his lower stomach area and I thought it might by scar tissue issues, but he showed me that the pain (sharp and only when he makes sudden moves0 is directly above the shaft of his penis (about an inch or so). Is this a pulled muscles or does it fit any other issue? My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY
Hello, post appendectomy people do notice certain pain in the lower abdomen due to muscle pull while suturing or due to some tissue /muscle injury during the procedure. But in your sons complaints is at the base of the shaft of the penis. So probably it might because of spermatic cord pull which might have been touched/ stretched during the procedure as it stays along the inguinal canal. If the pain persists kindly visit a surgeon for a second opinion as a physical examination is always better than an oral suggestion. Thank you
