Hysterectomy healing pain
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy healing pain
hysterectomy
I had a total hysterectomy on the 13th aug 2009 and still have groin pain,most people i speak to say its normal,so just bear with it ,its early days and a long healing progess,best wishes.
I am a female age 44yrs. and I had a hysterectomy in Nov 2010. An associate said that due to the lack of certain hormones present after a hysterectomy it may hinder or slow the process of healing of broken/fractured bones. Is this true?
m not sure what the vaginal pain is but I do know I have at times felt it. I think it is the vaginal cuff healing. 5 weeks seems early to resume having sex but if your Dr. has given you the all clear things must be healed. Go slow and if anything hurts stop! If you are really concerned call you Doctor.
Good Luck!
t work, walk, eat, I mostly just crawl to the bathroom to throw up from the pain. Not to mention the bleeding. I am interested in getting a partial hysterectomy, but terrified what it will do to my IC/bladder.
Has anyone else had good or bad experiences with having a partial hysterectomy years after being diagnosed with IC??
Had a mishap during hysterectomy and had stents put into bladder. Now on a catheter for 2 weeks while healing.
s been 5 1/2 weeks since my vaginal hysterectomy and I am still have the pelvic and lower ab pain too. Some days are better and that's when I think it's getting to the end and then it comes back again. I still have the lower back pain and some stinging in my left hip(not sure why that would be), but it's not as severe as a couple weeks ago. Just like jml1986 said, we are all different in the healing process. How is your appetite lately? What about bloating or gaining weight?
Hysterectomy wounds can sometimes separate superficially, like yours did. If this happens in my patients, I generally go to once daily wet to dry dressing changes, but some surgeons prefer twice daily changes. The wound slowly heals from the bottom up. Depending on your skin type, the healed scar may be slightly larger (wider) than if your incision healed without the dressing changes.
Dr.
I am sorry for what you have gone through.
I had a hysterectomy at a much older age (49) and I would highly discourage it. It has caused a whole list of problems. The uterus has life long, non-reproductive functions - anatomical, skeletal, hormonal, and sexual.
The ovaries are also important our whole lives and if you have your uterus removed, there is a good chance that your one remaining ovary will fail due to loss of blood flow.
If you are still having pain with intercourse or/and vaginal bleeding, then the source of your problem is likely gynecological. If you pain is abdominal pain unrelated to sexual activity, it could be related to your gastrointestinal (GI) system.
I cannot tell you what your pain is from because abdominal/pelvic pain in young women has so many causes. The best thing for you to do is stick with your OB/Gyn and follow-up with him/her.
Hi your pain is normal, it is a 6 weeks healing time for a hysterectomy,,,it will get better each and every day .It is very very important to do nOTHING no lifting, not to many stairs, no vaccuming, no bending, twisting, or carrying anything heavier than 3-5 lbs.
No, I don't think you should still be having pain. Did you have a complete hysterectomy? Did you have any problems with you incision healing? Have you talked to your Dr about the pain your having?
Sorry about all of the questions but the more information you give us the more we can help. Take care.
I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy 8 weeks ago and I have had terrible pain in my groin and in my left leg. It even wakes me up at night! Ok honestly thought I would be completely fine by now! Also dealing with stomach pain and still swollen a little. I have no energy at all and this is just getting ridiculous! I told my doctor at my 6 week check up but she said I was just healing! This can’t be normal!!
Pelvic cramps can be due to healing of stitches but if there is severe pain or any fever then any infection or adhesion formation should be ruled out.

Do adhesions from a Hysterectomy get worse or cause future complications if not surgically corrected or is it just to help the pain? Should this be performed by a surgeon or the GYN doctor who performed the Hysterectomy? Thank you!
I just had a repair in combination with a laparoscopic partial hysterectomy. I am on day 3 post surgery and off all pain meds except the Motrin 800 which is more to reduce swelling. I would not have done repair if my hysterectomy was not medically necessary even though it was bothersome it was not life threatening. Overall not in much pain from the repair.
i just posted my pain problem and I understand how you feel. My hysterectomy was only 4 weeks ago, but i have very strong pelvic pain and it is strong on my left side in hip area and into my lower back. My uterus and cervix removed, but my ovaries are still in. I have been told that my pain shouldn't be like that and doctors office said it is ok. I don't feel right and it's constant pain like you said, and only for a short time in day does it feel ok.

This year we saw another uro guy and he immediately said,I needed surgery and said I needed to see an uro-gynecologist..... I was like ...
s most likely normal healing. The bloating is most likely just your body adjusting and fluids retained in the healing tissues. be patient your are only at 2 months (8 weeks) that is VERY early in the healing phase...they did ALOT of work in there! if it feels ok and you are ok'd to do exercise at this point...I would suggest gently stretching the area to keep the scar tissue pliable (yoga is how I do this and after 8 abdominal surgeries...
Hello,
For such pain when hysterectomy has not been done , take the anti-inflammatory pain killers and seartiopeptidase as advised earlier. If the pain persists then any infection has to be ruled out.
