Hysterectomy hematoma
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy hematoma
hysterectomy
I had a hysterectomy in July 2009. In August I was back in the hospital in severe pain. Cat Scan showed Left ovary measures 3.2x2.8 c, Follicles noted. There is a complex cystic area in the right adnexa measuring 4.8 x 2.8 cm. This may represent a complex ovarian cyst, possibility of hematoma or abscess cannot be excluded. I spent 5 days in the hospital (not the hospital that did the hysterectomy) on heavy antibiotics.
I had an abd. hysterectomy(everything gone but the ovaries) on 4-18-14, I developed a lot of bruising a few days later. Started bleeding bright red blood on 5-3, enough to be described as a normal menstral cycle. Went to f/u appt. on 5-5, he said I had a hematoma draining above the vagina, not to worry unless I develop a fever. It has been very hot & humid where I live so I don't think I would realize if I were to have a fever or not.
I had a hysterectomy with removal of both tubes and ovaries 7 months ago. It was done laparoscopically/vaginally. 2 weeks postop I hemorrhaged due to a pelvic hematoma and was rehospitalized. That pain was incredible. Since then, I have had shooting pain down the low back, buttocks and down both legs; sometimes causing my right leg to buckle. At times, the pain will shoot up into my right side and arm even with stretching or leaning forward.
Hi, i had a subtotal hysterectomy the day after the op i had developed a hematoma above the incisicion .the wound has healed lovely and i am now in to 3 wks .The hematoma is very hard burns and has made it difficult for me to walk.It has reduced in size but it is still very large.What should i do its really getting me down.
I returned home the same day, but a blood vessel did not seal and I had emergency surgery 10 hours after the lumpectomy for a very, very large hematoma. Both surgeries were done under general anesthesia.
After 3 1/2 months, I still have aching pain in my breast. I saw my physician and he said to take ibuprofren for two weeks and cut back on caffeine. He thinks my body is still absorbing the blood from the hematoma. It has now been three weeks with ibuprofren and drastic caffeine reduction.
Did they do any part of the surgery vaginally? It sounds like it might be a hematoma (a blood filled blister). If they were poking around vaginally, they may have caused a bit of subQ bleeding in that tender tissue. Usually hematomas clear up on their own like bruises but take longer and hurt more. If it continues to enlarge, call your doctor.
t tell you is that there is big risks for c sections too. You could have major bleeding and risk a hysterectomy. The more c sections the higher the risk. Honestly there are great pain meds if you think you can't handle. I'm having a VBAC soon!
I am a 34 year old female who has had a lot of abdominal surgery. The hysterectomy I had, I hemorrhaged losing 10 pints of blood to a hematoma in my stomach when given torridall after surgery. I had 2surgeries before that and three after that. in 2013 my ovary ruptured and that surgery they discovered metal clips that were left in my abdomen and they had to remove and drain my abdomen. Now I have a Small Bowel Obstruction, extreme pain, vomiting( sometimes blood), fever, bloody stools.
When a lemon-sized hematoma was left in my breast after a biopsy that revealed I had breast cancer, the radiation oncologist was very concerned about how long it was left there. Can hematomas encourage cancer growth if left in the breast.? Do the enzymes that come to break down the hematoma have carcinogenic properties?
What I thought was significant bruising was actually a huge hematoma forming. I am still quite swollen and tender but am making healing progress each day. Upon seeing the radiation oncologist he suggested waiting a couple of weeks before having a CAT scan and starting radiation therapy. Question - must all of the hematoma be absorbed before having the CAT scan and radiation?
My cat had a serious hematoma on his ear. I took him to the vet and they drained it and stitched it. I took him back 2 days later because the swelling came back and covered the stitches and they had to repeat the procedure. Now his ear is not swollen over the stitches again, but swollen and I cannot see down into his ear. Is this something I should be worried about? I do not have the money to continue bringing him back to the Vet if there is nothing they can really do.
The next day I go to pet him and his ear is inflated! So this is my problem....My cat has a ear hematoma, I took him to the vet and they found there was yeast in his ears. For the hematoma they gave me the options of lancing, surgery, etc. but told me it was okay to leave it. They gave me drops to put in his ears for the yeast infection. This is the problem: Everytime I put the drops in his ears he just starts shaking his head more!

SDH is subdural hematoma is also commonly seen in the elderly and in alcoholics, who have evidence of cerebral atrophy. It is also more common in patients on anticoagulants, especially aspirin and warfarin. Patients on these medications can have a subdural hematoma with a minor injury and it is abnormal localized collection of blood in which the blood is usually clotted or partially clotted..
The treatment of a hematoma depends on its location and size.
I developed a hematoma 10 days after my 5th child was born, and my doctor drained it, and it healed up quickly. 10 days after my 6th child was born, I developed another. This one needed surgery to drain it. The surgery went well, and I was feeling much better the next day. Well, a couple days later, another one formed. (I had been in bed trying to heal- not up and around.) It has been quite painful. My daughter is 6 weeks old, and I am only now able to somewhat sit up without a lot of pain.
It is hard to say what this bulge and tenderness is but one thing that comes to mind is a hematoma, a collection of blood at the surgical site (incision). Sometimes they resolve on their own but sometimes they need to be drained. You should call your surgeon. Let us know what you find out.
