Avatar n tn She was sent home the next day, and can now have BM. 4th day postop, bleeding stopped. 5th day post op started up again. Not hemorrhage but heavy. MD says bleeding is from cut in vagina from last surgery. She doesn't look good, is bleeding and is having terrible pain in R lower back. It is hurting so bad she cannot take a deep breath. Help. Should she seek 2nd opinion? I'm very worried for her and her health.
Avatar m tn Hi all, I found this forum after googling some terms from my post-op pathology report. My history: Long hx of complex gyn problems. Infertility, anemia, heavy bleeding for years. 2011 radical hysterectomy due to complications from multiple large fibroids. Left 1 ovary only (cerix, uterus, 1 ovary and both tubes removed). Post-op pathology showed small adenocarcinoma of cervix which was removed. I have had yearly f/u with my gyn-onc who did the surgery.
Avatar f tn Any bleeding 1 week post op needs to be investigated especially if you say it's not geting better. You know youe body better than anyone else get on the phone to the surgeon and make an appoitmtnt to be seen and maybe have someblood work drawn to make sure you blood count...... is all ok. Be aggressive because the squeaky wheel gets the oil.
482924 tn?1333203671 Most women do not have illness and complications that make them contiue to see their gyn,,,I havent seen mone since post op ..yes I know better than anyone I should still get a pap as it is the only way to detect vaginal cancer,,,it is just something Ive put off, no one in my family has ever had any female cancer...we almost all have had hysterectomys due to endometriosis/andeomyosis and heavy bleeding with pain...seems to be genetic and yes we all had the multiple d/cs etc....
Avatar f tn It was done vaginally and the doctor did not mention anything about a possible hyst. I am a nurse and read the pre-op top to bottom and nothing anywhere mentioned the possibility. While I was on the table the "doc" called my husband and told him that my uterus "had to come out". He was at work and my mother was with me at the hospital. He has NO medical experience. He is a surveyor. Being a nurse and a prior scrub tech I have never seen this happen.
Avatar f tn Madge - He did do an internal on me when I seen him on the two week post-op. I was afraid I'd bleed again, but I didn't. He said my stitches were healing fine. I know this is TMI, but I was wondering why he stuck his finger/s up there as well. Maybe it's the way he does things and another way of checking the stitches - who knows. All I kept thinking was NOTHING goes up in there before 6-8 weeks!!!
Avatar f tn I am almost 4 weeks post-op LAVH (vaginal assisted laproscopic hysterectomy) and have experienced heavy bleeding for almost a week. It is as if I am having a period with clots and bright red blood. I called my Dr and had to leave a message with the nurse that I had started bleeding. She called me back and said it was normal, but I am still concerned. This just doesn't seem normal. Both ovaries and tubes were taken as well.
Avatar f tn Hi. I read some ladies are gaining weight post hysterectomy, one told it is due to insufficient levels of 'L????' . The lady then says there is no replacement for 'L????' currently so it doesn't matter what the name is. I think she is referring to Leptin, and the reading I've done indicates there is a replacement. Is there? If not, a newly released diet programme that maximises leptin use is available, and called the Venus factor.
Avatar n tn I am three months post op hysterectomy. My gynecologist was very happy with this report as there is no post op complications. He never even mentioned the tiny spleen cyst. Is that significant? What can cause that and am I right to just ignore this finding? Thanks.
8831133 tn?1415915535 m almost at my 3 week post-op. No real complications other than a UTI which I understand is common after this type procedure. Doesn't seem like all the feeling has come back yet? And I'm having some leakage if my bladder becomes too full or if I need to go and cough, laugh, sneeze, etc. I'm taking my time as far as getting back into the swing of things, no lifting at all the first 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn I'm 4 weeks post-op, and my husband is even to scared to look at me the wrong way. He knows definately 6 weeks wait, but the way I feel, I'm sure thats 6 MONTHS. OMG, couldn't think of anything worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced burning and sensitivity around the wound site, even though the wound seems to be healing well. Nothing was explained to me on discharge and I am 2 weeks post op and want to know whether this is normal or not. Please help!
591421 tn?1219072704 thats what im going thru also on a tah bso .. i am only 3+ weeks post op but i cry from the pain ... its not as bad as in the hosp but its enuf to make u cry really ..
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn that is why it is called post op complications. I also know that Dudendal Nerve Neuropathy is a rare complication, but unfortunately it is something that happened to me. I have just run out of any other suggestions......and was hoping someone could give me any other suggestions or as I stated advice on what to expect in the future.

Sensitivity to light / pain in eyeball when seeing bright light. Distance vision slightly blurred. Noticing edge reflections Right eye: no problems. is this normal? Many thanks Peter This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/372603'>Extreme light/glare sensitivity after cataract surgery</a>.
Avatar n tn I had a hysterectomy the 23 October 2007 for pelvic prolapse, I had a vaginal hysterectomy and kept both ovaries and my cervix. Prior to my hyst I was experience chronic pelvic pain (since June 06), Pain on both right and left sides of my pelvic area, a 'throbbing' pain inside my vagina (was told this was due to my uterus bearing down on my cervix), extreme pain with intercourse and many other symptoms. Currently about 90% of the pain has returned.
Avatar f tn I had a DaVinci hysterectomy on 12-11-12 with anterior/posterior repairs; vault suspension and TVT procedure. Yesterday I woke in a full body stretch like I always had my whole life however since surgery I had not done so. Is there any way I have jeopordized the repairs?! I hate to bother the MD on call with a silly question near the holidays. I am sore but have always been; no extra bleeding. I just hate this happened when I wasn't awake.
