Ask A Doctor
I had a total daVinci hysterectomy a few months ago, and I still have pain at my naval incision. My doctor said this is where I am stitched, is scar tissue and could be nerve pain. Will this go away? Also, I still get very tired even though I am being careful about over doing activities. Is this normal? How long does this last? I have resumed walking and all activities except intercourse due to yeast infection. Thank you!

Here are some answers:
- Pain at navel incision should resolve. Your only 8 weeks post op and most likely the suture hasn't reabsorbed yet and when it does, over the next month your pain should resolve.
- Fatigue can be totally normal, but consider having your thyroid and iron levels checked.
- Continue to build energy by walking and resuming exercise if ok with your doctor.
