I am 2 years post hysterectomy robotic. Went back into the hospital 7 days after due to a pelvic abcsess. I was in the hospital for 7 days and on home health for 10. I have never been the same since. My stomach is huge, my lower parts feel weird. I have tremendous lower back and hip pain to the point I cannot move when I get out of bed. It is ruining my quality of life. I try to exercise a stretch pain is tremendous. Is this a result of my surgery it all happened after that. Any suggestions?

I am so sorry this happened to you. I did not have an abscess but a number of other problems after having a hysterectomy (which should have never been done).
I don't know much about abscesses but any abdominal infection can be serious. Hopefully, yours is under control and you are on the road to recovery. Did they remove the drain and bag yet?
Please keep us posted.
On left side and between belly button and incision, have had a pain there like a nerve pain, burns and stings, can only sleep on my back, to have no pain, standing no pain. only when I get up and down or sit for very long and lay on side or stomach it feels like I have been branded and like something is pushing on something against my belly button when I lay on side. My right side is great no pain at all. I am 2 weeks post op, hoping this will get better and I can start sleeping better.
i had a hysterectomy month ago i am having pain in left pevic area with swelling into lower hip
I would recommend a Pelvic Ultrasound to rule out anything serious. The "abscess" might not really be an abscess, but a enlarged lymph node. Get it Checked.
I started having pelvic pain 1 week ago today. It started with alot of pressure when I urinated and just progressed and got worse. Started running a low grade fever, stomach swelling, and pressure/pain when I stood up in my pelvic area. I went to the dr. on Thursday and urinalysis came back normal and blood work was also normal. He ran a CT scan that afternoon and they saw what they thought was an abscess on my right ovary. He got me to the GYN immediately Friday.
I am sorry you are suffering from both PCOS and endo that is leading you to hysterectomy. I assume you already know that hysterectomy is not a cure for the insulin resistance of PCOS or for endo. Some women do get relief, either temporary or permanent, but some don't (I don't know the percentages).
I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago at age 49 - absolutely the WORST thing that has ever happened to me but I did not have a chronic pain condition.
Brown discharge suggests bleeding. It might well be time to get a pelvic exam and/or an abdominal MRI to see what might be going on.
I had an abdominal hysterectomy in 2002 but I still have my ovaries. Before my hysterectomy, I was constantly using the bathroom because the physician stated that the fibroids were pressing against my bladder-6 years later and I still get up 2-3 times during the night to empty my bladder.
ve since had ops for ectopic pregnancies, womb ablation, subtotal hysterectomy (31 yrs old, 6 months after ablation). During my hysterectomy my surgeon had to separate my uterus from my bowel, bladder, cervix and ovary. Everything was stuck together due to scar tissue/pelvic adhesions. My surgeon believed that the pelvic adhesions were the cause of the horrific pain I was experiencing. I was fine for approx 3 years after my hysterectomy when the cramping and back pain returned with a vengeance.
CT scan of abdomen is usually done with oral contrast and i/v contrast and using both is essential to comment on lymphandenopathy. It is difficult to differentiate lymphnodes from unopacified bowel loops.
I have diabetes and blood pressure also and I have read that removal of ovaries results in oestoporosis later on. I worry that I may not have much strength after hysterectomy. Please if someone has gone through a similar case let me know what deicision to take. I don't know if I should take a second opinion to reconsider ovaries bring removed or to listen to the doctors advice.

There was significant anastomotic leak/repeat pre-sacral abscess/multiple drain attempts and now with 5th try of enteral stents trying to keep peri-rectal area open for drainage.
Have 2nd diverting ileostomy now. LAR was performed in 2005.
Unfortunately have had persistent low sacral pain/perineal pain thought secondary to the prolonged inflammation/interventions/fibrosis and maybe radiation related, too.
Transvaginal u/s now shows cyst on left ovary. My last period was in 2005.
t recall exactly). But in the last few years, the loss of pelvic integrity from the hysterectomy have caused intermittent hip, back, and rib cage pain. Problem after problem just keeps cropping up since this surgery.
I am having problems after my abdominal hysterectomy. About 3 wks after the surgery I had a pinching sensation where I thought my cervix would be. I am now 9 wks post surgery and that area is now burning, really bad. CT scan showed nothing. MRI tomorrow. If that shows nothing it is probably pudendal nerve problem. I have all the symptoms of PN or PNE. I'm hoping not, because from reading other posts, that is pretty hopeless.
Anybody else with PNE that can provide any advise?
Had a hysterectomy 7yrs ago. did not remove ovaries or fallopian tubes. Starting to have lots of pelvic pain again. Will I have to have them removed eventually?
I had a CT scan and was told I needed to follow-up with my OB-GYN for possible cyst on my left ovary. I had a hysterectomy in 2002 for abnormal bleeding and endometriosis along with what I thought was a left salapingo-oopherectomy but apparently was a right according to this report. Today when I saw my family physican he asked what my OB-GYN was doing because he was concerned. I had not made an appointment because I had planned to follow up at my yearly appointment.
I bled for 6 months after my TVH (total vag. hysterectomy) everytime Dh and I had sex. Turns out I had ALOT of granulation tissue. I had to have silver nitrate treatments several times and the finally used some super numbing spray (I think they called it Hurricane spray) and clipped away a big piece of granulation tissue. That definately helped. Funny thing is, the last time I bled after sex I bled alot. But I haven't bled since and that was 1.5 yrs ago.
