Falling Out??
Hi ladies...
I am hoping someone might be able to help me here. I called my doctors office but they closed early today and won't be in until tommorrow morning. I am 5 weeks out from a LAVH, kept both ovaries. I have been doing really well this week, feeling great! Then last night I got really bad swelly belly and a pressure feeling in the vaginal area. It almost feels like something is falling out. I have had a BM every day so I don't think that is the problem.......
Anyone else had this feeling? It has persisted all night and all day and I am getting a little concerned about it. Please offer advice if you can. Thanks.

I can't really help - other than to say stay calm - as it's a 'feeling' rather than 'terrible pain' - and phone your dr tomorrow.
If you check your calendar, would this be the time you were ovulating? Or having a period? As you kept your ovaries you will still have pm symptoms. I got three days of aches from mine this month, they have no idea some one snuck in and stole their uterus...
Also I noticed your signature mentions pelvic congestion - I'm afraid I don't know anything about this - but could these pressure feelings be a symptom?
Take care, hope this helps a little

I got that feeling many times also, and even have it today. I believe it's from the swelling. It stands to reason that when you have swelly belly, your vaginal cuff may also be swollen, as is the actual vagina. I know my vagina felt swollen many times. I think it's the pressure of the swelling that makes it feel like something's falling out. I was always just certain that something was prolapsing, but nothing did.
I had a third silver nitrate treatment yesterday for granulation, and I've definitely got swelly belly today and just this afternoon have the "falling out" feeling again.

faling out also
i had my surgery feb25 and just started feeling pressure when i started working. my dr said it was nothing to worry about that your ovaries can drop after surgery. she did a full check and another ultrasound to make me feel better and to show me nothing is wrong.

I have this feeling today also.A check of my calendar confirmed that I am having PMS, as I should be having my period right now.I'm not concerned about it because there really isn't any pain, just a funny feeling.
Good luck and if you're concerned, call your Dr.

I too have had that feeling, I have even heard that some Dr. put tape over the stitches and have though it could be the tape coming out, I am sure my Dr. didnt put tape there so I just try to rest alot when it feels that way and after some time it goes away. I have only had it happen twice, but it does feel like something is there.

Thank you ladies for all of your posts. I really appreciate the support I have gotten at this site! I still have the pressure this morning. Talked to the nurse a few minutes ago, she assured me nothing was going to fall out, but that the doctor would check me for granulation or possible bowel problems at my appt. next week.
Basically she said what all of you suggested too! I would have had my period last week so I don't think that is causing the pressure. Maybe its that I have been back at work full-time this week. Thanks again!
