Embarrassing Discovery With My Butt
This is quite difficult to explain. I had my TAH 20th November and after I came round, aswell as the discomfort in my abdomen, I felt as if my butt cheeks (where they meet in the middle) were quite numb and achey. I presumed it was like a pressure pain. It still aches from time to time and the numbing feeling quite present but I haven't given it much thought as I still have numbing waist down and into my groin. (Presume it is nerve endings knitting together).
So, back to the butt, it has been achey for the last couple of hours and I was gently massaging through my PJ bottoms. Then I put my hands inside them to rub and found the skin to feel like leather and is all flaky.
Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced it? Could it be from sitting on my butt/lying on my back etc for periods of time?
TIA x

Re: Embarrassing Discovery With My Butt
I would say that more than likely It is from the anesthesia & pain meds. Try putting a good moisturizing lotion on the area to see if it helps. I know anytime I have had surgery I have dealt with the same issues in various locations & it seemed worse in the winter time, but lotion helped me. Try & drink plenty of water also stay away from sugary sodas & drinks as they can dehydrate you making this worse.

Re: Embarrassing Discovery With My Butt
If you had a total hyst with lymph glands removed....this is from that part of the surgery. My gyn onc warned me of numbness in my legs and rear. If it continues mention it to your doc. Also I agree with using a good lotion. Remember you have been sitting on that rear end for a few weeks pampering the princess...and the bum needs to move a bit. Sitting on even jammys can draw moisture out of your skin. When htat numbness happens...the skin feels weird too...take care!

Re: Embarrassing Discovery With My Butt
I had this weird numbness on that area of my butt/tailbone after my c/section 7 yrs ago. I think it was from sitting for hrs in the same position trying to figure out how to nurse my daughter, day after day, night after night. I would lean back on this big pillow for support and think these nerves were compressed or something. It should go away w/ time!

Re: Embarrassing Discovery With My Butt
Thank you ladies, been pampering the butt for a couple of days now and it is beginning to feel like mine again.
Sayboo2U, you mention lymph glands being removed, My surgery was very quick (2 weeks from diagnosis to surgery - 1 consultation with gynae pre op) I'm yet to have my post op check and review the findings - is lymph gland removal standard for TAH and both ovary removal?
