FEB.O7 , I had a complete abdominal Hysterectomy. I am having serious complications since. details below.?

I am 45 years old. Since my hysterctomy I have had complications with my bowels. Constipation and not being able to complete bowel movements and abdomial pain that radiates from the front to my back. Sometimes it even hurts when I sit. Also, when laying on my side it feels as if when I touch around my lower tourso I feel as something moves. The other complication, ( I am on HPT) extreme painful intercouse. I feel as something is being hit and it hurts, where intercourse is not possible in most positions. There is pain and pressure around my incesion ( up and down inc) and towards my abdominal area and back. It's not because of dryness. And besides the pain, my sex drive is gone. None. I live in rural South Louisiana, and had my sugery done at the Charity hospital here. Not to say teaching hospitals arn't good, but the quality of health care has declined.. Never see the same Doctor. Fatigue also, on B-12 injections, my level was low. MiraLax is not working, for constipation. Help!

It's possible that you have an "adhesion". A scar that forms in some folks after a surgery that could be putting pressure on the bowel. Call the office of the surgeon, or call to the hospital and speak to one of the nurses. Describe your symptoms to them. They will probably ask you to come in for an exam. An x-ray can usually rule out an adhesion. If you do have an adhesion, you may need an additional surgery to remove it. Be sure to ask the next doctor you see if he can rule out an adhesion or infection as the source of your pain. They will be straight with you if you ask directly. Good luck.

This is definitely a case for a specialist....you should make an appointment with a renowned specialist in a big city and have a full exam done.

hi i also had a complete hysterectomy a few years back now and i had no problems what so ever after the things you are experencing dont seem right go and have a chat with you doctor im sure none of this should be happening. i wish you lots of luck and hope you get it all sorted very soon.

For your problem with constipation you should integrate fiber to your daily diet, not only vegetables but supplements, just make sure is daily.
If the sex drive is gone can be temporary, and it can be a big influence the fact that you feel pain when you're having intercourse, sex drive killer don't you think.
It will all come to normal, it just takes time.
When you said "complete" do they took your ovaries? Because if they did you're going to need hormone therapy to regain your normal life.
You know when the operate to remove your uterus they have to cut a great deal, hopefully your surgery didn't have any complications, if you keep feeling those pains for long time you should see a physician, insist to have that check even if you see different doctors, they all have to read your medical records when you go for consultation.
I have medical studies and had a hysterectomy myself so I understand and relates to your concerns. Please check about hormones if you lost your ovaries.
