vaginal cuff tear twice
Hey Ladies,
Thanks for all your postings. I'm going back to the doc today. Ripped it again! I'm 4 months post op today. I can't beleive I tore it again. We were sooo careful. For some reason I'm just not healing. I'm up for no sex for the next 6 months I swear. I call it 911 sex! Cause afterwards I want to call 911. I'm so grateful for this web site. I don't know what I would do! You ladies are awesome and I appreciate all the postings. Theres nothing I can't find on this site!
Gonna take care of hubby any way I can, but he's not touching me again for a long time HA!
Please be careful and patient ladies. torn cuffs are BRUTAL!
Heres to happy healthy healing for all of us!
your hyster-sister

Vaginal Cuff Tore Again
Hi Bea,
How horrible for you to have to go through this! Just wanted to send you some hugs. Does your doctor have any ideas as to why you may not be healing well? Take good care of yourself!

Vaginal Cuff Tore Again
If you have a torn cuff it is extremely painful. You have alot of cramping and alot of bright red blood.

Vaginal Cuff Tore Again
Hi BusyBea13,
I don't have personal proof of this yet, but I am healing very slowly, and a friend who is into natural healing and medicines told me to make sure I get 1000mg's of Vitamin C a day, and the amino acids L-Lysine and Proline, (Proline is harder to find in supplements). He also told me to start taking the supplement DHEA, for my age, 46, the lower mg. dose. He said this is something our bodies make, but it peaks at 20 and then we make less and less of it as the years go by. I have started the vitamin C and L-Lysine,(one week now), because I had them. I'm waiting for my order on the other two items, but I think I have turned a corner just in the last two days, I'm 8 weeks. Puritans Pride is on line and inexpensive for vitamin and supplements. I'm giving it a try!
Maybe it will help you heal... my doctor also put me on estrace cream to aid in healing my inner stitches. and no intercourse for 12 weeks at least.
I'm so sorry your hurting again...
Cathy

How can you tell if you have torn your cuff? After 6 weeks, we had careful sex, and starting the next day I have had a terrible backache- its probably from using muscles I havent used lately, but it does worry me! What were your symptoms? I hope you get better soon! ck28

Torn cuff?
I tore stitches in the vaginal cuff the same day as surgery and started bleeding almost immediately - and yes, it was painful.
Had to be fixed in the OR. My physician was terrific.
What I'm wondering is - after having torn it once in post op -
does that make me more susceptible to tearing again?
Thanks!

I had sex after my 6 weeks check up. I had alot of cramping and bleeding. To make a long story short I had a prolapse my colon was coming out of my vagina and my bladder was on it's way out also. If you are in alot of pain and are bleeding I would go to the ER right away. So you won't have to go through what I did.
