Still in hospital - white blood cells count high

I just had a hysterectomy the 15th, I still haven't been released, The mornig of surgery they found that my white blood cells count were very high. I guess i won't be going home till this is fixed. Anyone heard or had this happen to them and if so what is/was the wh to this?

Hi qteyez6969
I'm sorry to see you've had a set back with your release from the hospital. I didn't experience this, but hope you're dr will get it figured out soon so you can go home.
Let us know what is found and keep us updated on your progress.

Dear Rita,

Thanks for replying back to me. I am still waiting for everything. As soon as I hear anyword as to why this is going I will post it back up here. But as far as this all goes, My surgery went ok i did not have the LAVH turned out I havd to be cut. but all looks abd healing up good,

I have not had that problem, but I did find this on a medical website:
"Leukocytosis (elevated white blood cell count) is a common laboratory finding and is most often due to relatively benign conditions like infections or inflammatory processes. The normal reaction of bone marrow to infection or inflammation leads to an increase in the number of white blood cells, predominantly polymorphonuclear leukocytes and less mature cell forms. Physical stress caused by overexertion, anesthesia or seizures and emotional stress too can raise the TLC."

Perhaps your body is having a reaction to the surgery and once you are on the mend the count will fall into place and you'll be released. In the meantime, just relax and enjoy not having any responsibilities except walking, sleeping and going to the bathroom. :-)
