2 weeks post hysterectomy: Heavy feeling in the vagina.is this normal?
Hello,
I am 2 weeks post op hysterectomy tomorrow. all was taken except ovaries...I have this "heavy" feeling in my vagina like something is coming out. I did not know if this was a normal side effect.
I had the Laprascopic davinci assisted surgery done.
I appreciate any advice and thank you for this amazing website!!

At first it feels that way because of swelling- but it shouldn't last much longer. As soon as things calmed down in there (pain went away, etc.) that stopped too. But I'm sure it's not the same for everyone.

I had the same feeling, sort of like there was a tampon in there! I have read lots of posts from others saying they had the same thing. I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow and it's starting to go away.

Re: Heavy feeling in the vagina.is this normal?
I had the same thing - feeling like a tampon was stuck in the opening. Doctor said it was from stretching the vagina. For me it started about week 3 and is getting better. I notice it mostly when I stand to long or walk too much. My remedy which helps is to put some antibiotic creme right at the opening - not in the vagina. It takes away that dry feeling and I figure the antibiotic creme is safer than lotion.

I feel that way too. I'm only on day 6. I definitely lie down when there is a lot of pressure.
