Kegel question

Hi Sisters!

I forgot to ask my doc, but can I do kegels now post surgery. I am 8 days post op today and had a lavh.

Just wanted to make sure you can do them post op...I don't see why you couldn't..but thought I'd ask.

You all have a terrific day. Try to remember what you're feeling now is only temporary and this too, shall pass!!!

I didn't see a reason why I couldn't do them either and my doc said no kegels for two weeks. I never asked her why. I've been doing them like a mad woman from day 15! I would call your doc's office and ask because each woman is different and each doc will probably have a different answer.

Hi SA

I am not sure, but I will ask dr. tomorrow, I have not done any yet. Too Scared!!!
but I agree w/ B I would ask. Better safe than sorry.

Hi SisterAngel, Great question! I would ask your Dr about that just to be on the safe side. I couldn't imagine anything would be wrong with doing that, but I would give your Dr a quck call just to be sure. You are 100% right...this two shall pass. Take care and 's Melanie

Hello Sister Angel!
I had my 10 day check up yesterday. He was very impressed with how well I'm doing. My next check up is in four weeks!!! Anyway he told me ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the vagina. He said I could fool around all I want but NOTHING inside. I told him not to worry,but I have been doing lots of kegels for the big day!!! He laughed his head off!!! I guess I got my answer it's O.k for me to do them but I would asked your Dr first. I can't see why you couldn't. I mean how do you stop yourself from peeing if it hurts too much!

Thanks Sisters,

I never thought you do use those muscles to stop from peeing or holding when you can't get to the toilet fast...but I will wait until I talk to my doc.

Do those kegels girls when you are allowed lol

My doctor has never mentioned the Kegel exercises. Am I supposed to be doing them? I've never had children, does that matter? What's the likelyhood that after a hyst I'll have bladder control problems? I've never had any before, is this really common? Now I'm worried!

JanaBailey lol don't worry, I've had 3 children and I don't have bladder problems. Kegels stengthen the vagina wall muscles and they are good to do after childbirth. My Dr never mentioned doing them I just did them on my own because I had a TVH. Kegels are great to use on your man, my DH loves it!!!TMI lol !!!!! You should do them even if you never had children or V surgerys. Keep those muscles strong and you shouldn't have too many problems when your older!!
