Gas pain after hysterectomy

Common Questions and Answers about Gas pain after hysterectomy

gas

Avatar n tn Hello. I had a LAVH 2 weeks ago so her discomfort is fresh in my mind....it will get better. The first night home for me was the hardest! The inability to urinate after abdominal surgery is a "common" side effect. The bladder is a muscle that sometimes needs time to regain function after anesthia. I did not have this problem but from what I read function usually comes back. As for the gas pains......that is what she is going to battle the most the next couple of days.

Speaking of gas, you might want to have some Gas x or something similar on hand as either way your surgery is done, you will probably have some gas pain, which is normal but can be very painful. If you get sick with anesthesia, be sure to have your doc prescribe anti-nausea meds for you, for both the hospital and at home.
Avatar n tn I had a complete hysterectomy Oct 2012. I still have sooo much gas. It is not painful but why is this still happening? And it really embarrassing cause it is quite explosive and uncontrollable.
1394194 tn?1282571416 The types of sensations are bound to change and may take some adjustment, but that also occurs after childbirth. Many women still enjoy sex after a hysterectomy, some more so due to the absence of abdominal pain. You sound like you are going through adjustments to having decreased sex hormones. What you might consider is talking to your doctor about hormonal therapy for menopausal women to see if they might manage your symptoms better.

Avatar f tn Me too, years and years after hysterectomy still get those cramps and back aches. Has anyone had a response??
Avatar f tn I am close to 10 weeks post op Hyst/BSO with a sacrocorporplexy. I also had severe lower abdomen and bladder pain which began nearly a week post op. I've done alot of reading and UTI'S are very common after a hysterectomy. I experienced a real bugger of one, which took multiple antibiotics to clear. Definitely check with your doc to rule this out. I continue to have low abdominal pain, although I am sure the infection has cleared, the pain is similar to that of a bladder infection.
Avatar f tn I experienced this for a couple of days after the surgery. Do you think it could be from the gas they blow into your abdomen during surgery? I think if the pain is still there I would see the doctor ASAP.
Avatar n tn I know this is responding to an old post, but I noticed someone said no PMS symptoms after hysterectomy. That is not true at all. Although the symptoms are very different. If one still has two functioning ovaries you will still face the (EMOTIONS, CRAVINGS, HEADACHES, SORE BOOBS ETC). I had a hysterectomy a bit over 6 months ago. For the first 3 months after the hysterectomy I was fine (but I didn't realize my ovaries had been asleep I guess). Oh did they wake up!!
Avatar f tn Have you tried over the counter Phazyme I seen this is great for gas after a hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn Is it to early to expect it to have gone or even reduced by now? The gas pain is far worse than the op itself with shoulder tip pain being the worse I was told to expect this do not to concerned about it but just feel so blown up. Eating seems to make it worse. Any advice would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn I had a total abdomen hysterectomy July 17 2014. After surgery I blew up like a balloon all over. I was so distended I couldn't move. Next day my palms were white and was told I was bleeding internally. I got four blood transfusions. Then I was given another catheter and LASIK because I now had fluid on my lungs and my oxygen was low and had trouble breathing. Then I had degenerative heart failure and had a heart moniter for 3 or 4 days.
Avatar m tn The pain your describing is most likely the gas as you suspect. Try drinking something carbonated to get some of it out. It should hopefully subside in a few days. I know it can be quite painful. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Avatar f tn This time, whilst in hospital straight after the op, I had severe sholder pain as wall as extreme pain down one side of my tummy to my rib cage area, to find out it was "trapped gas", well, I was so shocked, I'd never felt pain like it. That subsided, and I am now very bloated & uncomfortable, i've been quite active the last few days, but now feel in a bit of pain around the incision areas more so, but just an overall pain on my whole tummy area and inner pain.
Avatar f tn I am having pain during sex then severe gas like pains after sex in lower adomen and butt. I had a hysterectomy 21/2 months ago.
Avatar f tn because it forces the pf muscles to relax and this makes the gas easier to pass...I have also used the chewable gas relief tabs but try to stay clean and chemical free as much as possible...;) Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn It sounds like your ovaries are struggling which happens quite a bit after hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn From what I've always heard and continue to hear it takes your body a FULL YEAR to get over/recovery 100 % after any major surgery. I've read and heard the bloating/swelling part you get after a hysterectomy can last up to 1 year too. I wake up and am one size and by night I'm bigger all over from the swelly belly type thing. I'm just at my 5 weeks of recovering and no where near putting on regular clothes.
Avatar n tn I slept with a pillow on my belly cause I was worried my dog would get on me in night,,, there are some women who claim very little to no pain,its rare most have moderate high to high pain...it gets better every single day.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed months ago with acid reflux and take prilosec which helps. 2 weeks ago I had horrible stomach aches and saw the dr. Since then, I've continued to have horrible gas pains and bowel sounds. She sent me for a Ct thinking it was an intestine inflammation...she found 2 large complex cysts one on each ovary. I had an MRI on Sunday and she called saying they found 2 small simple cysts on the left ovary and nothing on the right. I'm so confused!
Avatar n tn Hugging a pillow really helped and very important to stay on top of your pain meds. My pain started reducing then and felt much better by the 4 week mark. It is so important that you just rest, leave the housework, lifting, twisting, and not overdo it. A little walking is good to break up the gas. Good luck to you and please let us know how it goes.
Avatar f tn I also had chronic lower back pain which disappeared right after the hysterectomy. It has come back but I have been sick lately so hoping that is due to infection. The only birth control pill that helped me at all was Alesse, and I gained 10 pounds on it, but it was the only thing that worked. I would visit a reproductive endocrinologist if you have one near you, have another child if you are able and want to and then insist that they do a laparoscopy.
Avatar n tn I still have severe lower back pain 3 years after my hyster.
Avatar f tn are you dealing with alot of gas? have you tried simethicon if you are? if will help you pass the gas which might help with the bloat...lots of walking will help with both areas as well... this may settle down in a few more months though because it could also be that you are now becoming more active at the 4 month mark and the sutures have dissolved so your body is having to pick up the slack of this and so you may still be having swelling from the surgery...
Avatar f tn //www.verywellhealth.com/endometriosis-after-hysterectomy-3156908 - a summary of the study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4286861/ - the actual study Obviously, there are a dozen (or more) other things that could be causing this pain, and the "migrating" pain could be radiating pain, which starts in one place, but travels to another, most often along a nerve path. I hope you get some answers! Let us know.
Avatar f tn wear loss clothing...be prepared for very serious pain your pain meds will handle it .....take them....the vast majority of women feel completley physically healed by 6 weeks....take it very easy for 1st intercourse after 6 weeks and doctors ok.....and last but not least welcome to medically induced menopause,,,,I believe in bioidentical hormone replacement many on here like Vivellle its a estrogen patch easy to use...If you have any more direct questions please feel free to pm me...
