How to tell if you have a cuff infection
What are the symptoms of a vaginal cuff inection or tear? I have a burning pain in my vagina and a tender belly area. I notice the pain is worse when I am standing. No fever to report.

Re: How to tell if you have a cuff infection
I had a very watery clearish/orange discharge and a burning, almost electric like feeling in the cuff area. (assuming that was nerve endings) I could only be comfortable in certain positions. Even lying down the wrong way bothered me. Mine was only a mild infection and was cleared up with a week of Cipro.

Oh and I also felt tired, weak and overall yuck, worsening everyday. I ran a fever of 101 or so.

Re: How to tell if you have a cuff infection
I don't have any discharge. The pain is horrible after I pee. It feels like a hot poker is stuck up in me.

Discharge isn't always present from what I understand. It did hurt really bad after I peed as well.

Re: How to tell if you have a cuff infection
I go to the doc for my 4 week post op visit! I am very tired too! I am so over this surgery! I want to be "me" again.

Re: How to tell if you have a cuff infection
I totally understand! I'm just over five weeks post op and finally getting energy back! It didn't help that I caught a violent stomach bug three weeks out that sent me to the ER with dehydration. Cuff problem and swelling down there gave me a lot of trouble too. It was very discouraging, but I think I am finally over the hump!
