Abdominal hysterectomy healing process
Common Questions and Answers about Abdominal hysterectomy healing process
hysterectomy
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?
The bad news is that surgery itself is a risk factor for adhesive disease because adhesions are related to the healing process and some patients form more scar tissue than others. As to who should perform your surgery is better addressed by your gynecologist. Either of the above mention specialist are capable of appropriately making the diagnosis and surgically managing disease when safe to do so.
Thank you,

You are still very early in the healing process. It takes at least 6 months for full internal healing. Also, if ovaries were removed or they fail post-hysterectomy, then the severe loss of ovarian hormones will likely cause a number of symptoms including inability to sleep normally and fatigue amongst others.
Please be sure to take it easy during the recommended time frame for optimal healing. It may be helpful to journal symptoms so you can discuss with your doctor.
I had an abdominal hysterectomy 8 days ago. The stables were removed 5 days later but due to fluid build up, the surgeon recommended wet to dry dressing twice a day. The incision is now partially open ,approx 7 cm long, 3 cm deep and 1 1/2 cm wide. Is there a less painfull method of healing than packing it twice a day?
I had a abdominal hysterectomy in April, because of abnormal bleeding everyday for a year and a half. It is now October and i am still having abdominal discomfort is this normal??? I used to sleep on my stomach and now when I find myself on my stomach i wake up in discomfort.
I have requested a vaginal hysterectomy in an effort to expedite healing time. My Dr wants to take my ovaries. I am 40 with 3 children - and have no itention to have more. I had a tubal ligation in 2000, and an endometrial ablation in 2010. The ablation only partially worked. I have very light periods, but tremendous pain. My Dr recommends a total hysterectomy due to andometriosis. My maternial grandmother had uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy before 40.
Is it okay to do abdominal crunch and exercise like this or should I wait until next month... and what exercise can I do .
t get a urinary infection and will also help with the healing process). I found for the first week or so at home, I was more comfortable sleeping propped up on the couch as opposed to in bed - you use a lot of abdominal muscles trying to lay down and get up out of bed. Also be sure to dress in comfortable clothing - something that will not rub against your incision area - even if that means living in a nightgown for a few days!

Has anyone ever had a hysterectomy that started out laparoscopic then went to abdominal? Do you have any advice for recovery ? Tips? Heads up?
yes, it is very normal to have pain such as described during the healing process...the muscles and nerves are all affected by surgery! Burning is usually nerve and stabbing, pinching and so on muscles...When I had my first surgery when those nerves began to wake up the pain almost brought me to my knees...by surgery number 8...I am pretty well versed on what to expect and it's normal for all sorts of things to happen during the healing phase...
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...
I had my total hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. It was an abdominal one. I am still in a great deal of pain. And as well my abdomin is terribly swollen and kind of hard. And I have alot of draining with blood oozing from the bottom. I' didn't realize it was going to be this hard wow.
I am 3 weeks post-op after having had a total abdominal hysterectomy with BSO. Spent 10 days in the hospital with a pretty bad post-op abdominal infection, 104 temps, large bowel ileus, vomiting, the whole gammit. Now I am home and healing, but having repeated hot flashes and night sweats. I'm finding it very hard to sleep, and along with the hot flashes are ridiculous spurts of being very quick to anger. Normally, I'm am a pretty calm person and not quick to anger.

Has anyone experienced this? I had a total adominal hysterectomy 8 weeks ago. Recovery went generally well, but about 4th week I began to have sharp needle type pain, tingling, sensitivity to touch on my stomach above the incision. Also, pressure and pain on the lower right side of my stomach. I saw my dr for post op. She pretty much said she had no clue what it was. I've gone back to work now and these symtoms are painful. Any clues?
