Is tiredness common post peritonitis?
Patient: I had a ruptured appendix and peritonitis two months ago. I have never gotten over feeling so tired from the surgery. Do you think it is related? I ended up with a peritoneal abscess and then C Diff. I can t do anything for long periods of time without wanting to lie down. I am used to being very active. Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.History about perforated appendix and peritonitis 2 months noted. I do not think, it should be related to your tiredness after such a long time. It looks that you have not taken enough care after the surgery 2 months before. I would advise to undergo tests as follows: Blood tests for anemia, infection - WBC , ultrasonography to see any remnant problem in the abdomen.
