5 days post hysterectomy.
I am 5 days post op with vaginal hysterectomy with fallopian tubes removed. I am not experiencing pain just pressure and terrible constipation. I have tried colace and sennekot with minimal help. I am tired and worrying about my long term recovery.

Re: 5 days post op
Fruit fruit, walk,fruit. Water and more fruit. Lots of the girls on here had issues until day 6-7. I too felt concern, mine was / is urinating . I'm still not "normal" and its been 3 weeks 1 day. Relax be patient all of us heal at different rates. You will turn the corner. Hang in there.

Re: 5 days post op
My sister in law is a nurse and she told me Miralax is the best thing to use for constipation. I used it after I got home from the hospital and had a BM within 2 days.

Re: 5 days post op
Lots of fluids! My body didn't even attempt to go until Day 5, and it was rough. But it did get better and better. I'm post 9 days today and going normal again, hang in there!

Re: 5 days post hysterectomy.
Suppository worked for me within 20 min. The pain was horrible almost passed out. It's just getting more bearable after 22 days post opt. I am drinking tons of water, get off the OxyContin / Percocet as soon as yo can stick with Motrin or Tylenol, walk,walk,walk. Fruit peaches canned work great I am drinking a Kale smoothly and 1 cup Kiefer to help heal my intestines and have been regular and getting better everyday from all the great advise from all the hyster sisters Thankyou all and Happy Healing

5 days post hysterectomy.
The pressure is most likely from the constipation. I second the recommendations of regular walks, which will help more than anything else; also try peppermint tea. If you're considering the kale smoothie recommended by the previous poster, add some frozen cherries and ground flaxseeds; that's what ultimately got things moving for me. Pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate are also high in magnesium, a nutrient found in leafy greens, which promotes proper bowel function. Another way to stimulate regular movements is to sit on the toilet right after a meal; this stimulates the gastro-colic reflex, in which the stomach tells the brain that it's full, then the brain tells the colon to empty its contents, to make room for the new stuff coming in. Hopefully, you'll be back to 💩 soon!
