hysterectomy complications obstruction

I am a 40 year old woman with quite the medical history. In the past 4 years I've had 15 abdominal surgeries, mostly on my left side. I've had a hysterectomy, left ovary with cyst removed, 8 ureter stents, ureter reconstruction, left kidney removed and a bladder sling installed. In amongst those, I've also had 3 partial bowel obstructions and a lysis of adhesions. I feel as if I have another bowel obstruction and have been fairly sick lately.

CT abdomen and pelvis 10/1/2012. TECHNIQUE: Axial images from the lung bases to the symphysis are performed with additional coronal reformatted images. 100 mL of Isovue 370 are given intravenously. Oral contrast is also given. FINDINGS: The lung bases are clear. Abdomen: There is diffuse fatty infiltration of liver. Prior cholecystectomy changes are noted. A probable tiny cyst is noted in the lateral mid spleen measuring only 2 or 3 mm in size on image 27.

I am scheduled for a Total Hysterectomy in mid-April. Initally when I decided to do the procedure I thought it would be a permenant birth control solution and give me seven days of my life back a month. However, I've done some research and have begun to question my decision. There are a lot of horor stories out there. I am also unsure about the research because the sample sizes are often so small in the studies.

i had a hysterectomy 7 years ago and 1week after surgery my stomach broke open they did not put a drainage tube inwhen had operation they reopened me in the doctors surgery and took a swob found septisiemia.thenleft site opened had five more operations on hysterectomy site to remove septis and left me opened each time to heal inside out i am still interriable crippling pain bloat like i am 6\7 months pregnant.

Can you give me any idea what may be causing my symptoms and do I need additional test or to see a gastric specialist? I am a 54 yo African American woman with Type II diabetes(2000), HBP,(2006) have had a hysterectomy(2004) and my gall bladder removed(1984). I currently have a mesh panel in my abdomen due to a hernia after my hysterectomy, and have been diagnosed with asthma and allergies. I also have GERD's that I have had for approx. 25 yrs.

CT ABDOMEN AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST 1/23/2013 9:55 AM HISTORY: Abdominal pain following hysterectomy performed in 10/2012. Previous cholecystectomy and appendectomy. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis 10/1/2012. TECHNIQUE: Axial images from the lung bases to the symphysis are performed with additional coronal reformatted images. 100 mL of Isovue 370 are given intravenously. Oral contrast is also given. FINDINGS: The lung bases are clear. Abdomen: There is diffuse fatty infiltration of liver.

s gastrointestinal symptoms. If there is obstruction, nasogastric tube is placed to help relieve abdominal distention and vomiting. Surgery may be needed to relieve the obstruction if the tube does not relieve the symptoms, or if there are signs of tissue death. Complications such as electrolyte imbalances, infection, perforation and tissue death should be avoided especially with her medical history.

Some of her symptoms before her partial hysterectomy were constipation, bloating and diarhea. The cancer was attached to the colon and rectum so they werent able to take everything out. After surgery, she was back in the hospital with a bowel obstruction. She had her first chemo treatment 3/26 (Carboplatin and Paclitaxel). Came home on the 27th and has been sick ever since (vomiting and diarhea).

Could adhesions cause temporary impingement on the bowel causing severe pain and constipation that spontaneously goes away in 1-2 days? Previous surgeries include hysterectomy and abdominal radiation for uterine cancer 40+ years ago, gallbladder surgery 30+ years ago and colon resection for cancer 10 years ago.

Help!!! I have history of many prior abdominal surgeries, and then a hyst, and now I am told I have adhesions due to many pelvic surgeries. History of PCOD BAD! Endometriosis, hysterectomy in 05'. Now my stomach feels like it is on fire, I have to burp and pass gas alot. Could adhesions be causing this? What could this be? I don't know if a surgeon or any dr will treat me, as I dont have any insurance, and dont have SSI or Medicaid yet. Can these adhesions be life threatening?

First, you can't wait to get money for a vet. Your puppy is probably dying right now. If he is obstructed, the worst thing you can do is force feed him. YOU can't get the obstruction to pass. Your puppy needs a vet and he needs one right now. Since you live in Dallas, there should be any number of ER vets available to you. If you have any kind of relationship with a regular clinic vet (has you puppy even had shots yet?) call that clinic now for instructions.

i was hospitalized the next day for complications from hernia surgery. since then i have had problems and now im bleeding vaginally which i shouldnt be considering i dont have a period from a hysterectomy. i told my doctor and she said it was from irritation where my ovary was removed but the bleeding went from spotting to a light period. what should i do?

Another fairly common problem is adhesions from the surgery that can cause partial or full bowel obstruction. And even without obstruction, many women suffer from constipation after hysterectomy. My bowels have been "a mess" since my hysterectomy 8 years ago. With this cyst being so large (I had a 9.5cm complex cyst), you do not have the luxury of monitoring it to see if it resolves on its own (some complex cysts do resolve on their own).

What you are describing is concerning to me that there may be either some significant obstruction or high pulmonary artery pressure, or both, that is causing blood to back up and cause the findings he is experiencing. However, it could also be occuring if his heart is not pumping well. This is a seroius problem that requires an experienced team of pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons.

The doctor said I could still have endo. even if I had a hysterectomy. How? if having a period is the cause?

I had a salpingo oopherectomy on both sides, a hysterectomy as well as a appendectomy on February 5th 2013. I am 27 years old. Since the procedure was done I have had severe lower abdominal pain while urinating. I have been very sick. Does anyone have an idea of what this pain is from?

Most people actually do have complications with an abdominal cut hysterectomy, and laporoscopy.

It is likely to be just a coincidence that you have developed symptoms post your hysterectomy. Diabetes is a chronic disease and complications are unlikely to develop over a few weeks or months and alternative possibilities to the cause of your symptoms may need to be considered. I would suggest getting this evaluated by a primary care physician initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought. Hope this is helpful.

Hi- Just wondering if anyone out there had any complications post total hysterectomy? I had mine 3 months ago due to several cysts again! Paternal grandma died of ovarian cancer at age 50. I had 15 years of cysts, and a total of 8 laporosopies. I am not even 40 yet! Any how, at my 8 wk check up my oncologist said everything was fine, no infection, no cancer, etc., I can try having sex with my husband. We did everything was fine.

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I understand that perhaps if you don't go for the surgery, there is a chance of obstruction of the bowel. I wonder if this is true? Any help would be appreciated.

I have uterine cancer that has spread to the bowel, but I had a total hysterectomy 7 years ago. I was told that I probably still had endometrosis after the surgery and it has progressed to cancer. Can endo become cancerous? I was also given estrogen therapy after the hyster would this have made it worse?

She had a complete hysterectomy then with no chemo. Unfortunately, it recurred in 2006 in the peritoneum, putting her in the stage 4 category. She did a surgical debulking with a general oncological surgeon. Since then, she was on chemo treatments once every 2 weeks or sometimes every week. CA125 came down from a couple thousand to 20. Somehow, in 2006, it creeped back up and she did a second surgery, followed by chemo. Once in awhile she would skip one or two chemos.

I'm not certain what all you already know, or what you need to know, so here's my simple "hysterectomy lecture" for future readers. :-) The word "hysterectomy" actually refers only to removal of the uterus. The cervix is usually removed as well, and that entire procedure is called a total hysterectomy. There are two ways to do the surgery.

He said that a full hysterectomy is not as necessary. But down the road, there is a chance of getting uterine or cervical cancer. I don't really want to have either surgery, but I refuse to go through chemo again. So now I don't know which surgery to have. The full hysterectomy or have just the tubes and ovaries removed? I have done some research and there are schools of thought leaning in both directions.

Features suggest a mild pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. The previously noted cortical cyst is noted to lie immediately adjacent to the left pelvi-ureteric junction. The left kidney otherwise appears normal. No abnormality is noted in the left ureter. The left kidney does not appear to be duplex and there is a solitary left ureter. There is noted to be a small fat containing umbilical hernia. No Additional abnormality has been demonstrated.
