Numbness & Itchiness at Incision Site
I had hysterectomy on 3/26/09 and it was done abdominally. I have numbness and itchiness at the incision site. Any suggestions to help with this?

Re: Numbness & Itchiness at Incision Site
The numbness is normal - you Doc cut thru LOTS of nerves to do your TAH. SOme sensation will return over time. As to the itch - try a Vit E based lotion or Mederma to help your skin heal.
Good luck with your recovery and take care.

Re: Numbness & Itchiness at Incision Site
like co_dreamz said, the numbness is normal, it takes a while (weeks) for the numbness to go away. as for the itchiness, I would call your doctor and see what he suggests you do, in the meantime, keep it clean and dry....
