Vaginal cuff hurts...why?
I had a few stitches put in when I required a 2nd surgery because I was bleeding out after my hyst. Surgery was later that day. I am having pain with bowel movements in that area and sometimes with urinating. Not a burning, but a pressure pain.
Is this unusual?

Vaginal cuff hurts...why?
Hi Ramonaleah,
I don't really know if this is normal. I think you need to call your dr and ask for sure. After surgery when you have pain that is unexplained it never hurts to call and check. We can give our guesses and opinions, but your dr will give you the sure information that you need.
My understanding is that the discomfort that comes with bowel movements is usually lower and often what causes the most discomfort is the gas that often accompanies them.
Let us know what you find out.

Vaginal cuff hurts...why?
I too have the pressure when urinating or bowel movements. I did ask the nurse of my physician and she said it was normal but somehow that has not given me peace of mind. Have you ever felt as though something just wasn't right? Well that's me. The pressure and pain after 4 weeks should be about gone (so I thought)
If you find out anything please let me know.

I think it depends on the extent of the stitches and sometimes I noticed certain foods bothered me more--like the increased fiber from grains I was supposed to eat!! It was at least 6 weeks bfore I stopped describing it as a real pain --no make that 7- this week!!
I had great difficulty in that area and still do sometimes at telling whether I needed to urinate,pass gas or have a BM.
Still you should go ahead and call your MD and make sure you talk with someone who really understands the extent of your case.
Hope this helps,
Sharon
