Intestinal Problems on Day 14 post op
HI There,
Thanks for sharing your experiences in prior posts. It helps a lot in understanding what I have been going through after surgery.
Has anyone had any problems with Bowel movement 2 weeks after surgery? I had LSH exactly two weeks ago and still having problems with BM. I have skipped meals due to fear of going through the excruciating pain (similar to labor pains).
My Dr. scheduled me for an ultra sound and CT scan. There's a possibility of ****age to my intestines during the surgery.
Also had fever and pain on lower left (pelvic area).

Intestinal Problems on Day 14 post op
I am so sorry you are having complications - what is a LSH? I know this sounds crazy but have you been drinking plenty of water (I can't talk because I have not), prune juice, and taking some milk of magnenisia (sp) - a friend of mines brought me something called Fiber Choice that helped with the stomach pains and with the BM's. I pray you find some relief soon.

Re: Intestinal Problems on Day 14 post op
Hi Imartin313,
Thank you for the nice thoughts. I had an ultrasound today and sadly, I have to be readmitted to the hospital tomorrow.
Test results indicated a 5 cm blood clot/infected by pelvis area that's causing all the pain. I have to undergo Cat Scan and drainage of blood clot. If it is easily located, they will do so if not, another surgery...which I dreaded so much. Please keep me in your prayers. I don't want to have another surgery after what I have been through.
By the way, LSH is laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. Had my uterus removed. Thanks and Take care.

Oh I am so sorry - and I just lifted you up in prayer. I pray for the hands of the Dr's to be anointed and to find the blood clot immediately through the cat scan and you will not have to have another surgery. I pray for a speedy recovery on whatever you have to have done and that everything will heal properly. Good luck tomorrow.

Re: Intestinal Problems on Day 14 post op
Good luck tomorrow hopefully they can isolate the clot and drain it quickly. If you do need another surgery try not to be to upset. The important thing is they diagnosed you quickly and hopefully no lasting harm has been done.
I will say a prayer for you and wish you a speedy recovery.
