Going Nuts & lots of Wind!!

Howdy, I had my hyster on the 6th May, tomorrow is Week 3.

I had it down laparoscopy - tubes, utereus, cervix taken out vaginally. Apparently Doc found endometriosis as well - never knew I had it.

So I'm lucky that I am not bleeding. But having really bad wind/bm pain - i will get a crippling pain across the bottom of my tummy and then out she comes! When will this end!!

I am so scard to do anything incase I do damage inside, I feel uncomfortable and get niggly sharp pains on either side - down low (ovary sites?)

Reason I had the hyster was cos I keep getting abnormal pap smears and I have had a clean out and lletz down already and still coming up abnormal so Doc decided to take it all out.

I am meant to be going back to work 27th May so kinda freaking out - I haven't driven yet ( too scard).

I just wanna be normal again

Only 20 days off? That stinks!

I'm a bit over 4 weeks and still get days with lots of gas. I am still on the softeners because I'm still scared to "push". Are you taking softeners?

Sonlee! I'm glad you found us. The twinges and problems with BM pain are pretty common experiences after hysterectomy. It does get better usually by 4 or 5 weeks. Certainly if you continue to experience pain or it gets worse, let you doc know about it.

I was diagnosed with endo during my hysterectomy as well. I had no idea either. There is an endometriosis forum on this site. There are some great articles there you can read to learn more about your new diagnosis. I found them very helpful. Here is the link: Endometriosis Articles

Happy Healing!
