5 weeks post hysterectomy - scared of infection due to outercourse
Hello sisters,
I just had my TAH/BSO 5 weeks ago. I still have swelling near the incision. However I was feeling better each day with slight pain here and there and numbness under my belly button. Is this normal?
Three day ago my boyfriend and I had an outercourse just touching..not intercourse. My vagina was all wet and he didn't have condoms. Since last night I'm having slight pain in the pubic area and under the belly button.... I'm just scared have I gotten infection due to outercourse? I don't have any other symptoms yet though like fever or anything.... Or is it normal pain as part of the recovery? Please help I'm just loosing my mind...I'm supposed to go back to work soon and this pain is worrying me.
Thank you for your support.
Mona

Re: 5 wks post op - scared of infection due to outercourse
I had a different type of hysterectomy, with no incisions. But the swelling near the incision and numbness under your belly button does sound normal for 5 weeks post op.
The pain you're now having in the pubic area and under the belly button could be from the outercourse or from infection... or it may be normal healing. Only your doctor can say for sure. Has your doctor released you for outercourse? Some doctors want "complete pelvic rest" while we are healing, which includes no arousal or orgasm. So it's important to ask. It may be that your body wasn't ready for outercourse and the increased blood flow/spasms were too much for your healing tissues.
Outercourse
I suggest refraining from outercourse and giving your doctor a call if you're worried or if you're not feeling better. Hope all is well, please do update us with how you're doing.
