Two weeks post hysterectomy:Pressure and Pain/Bladder and Rectum
Hi All,
I had a robotic-assisted hysterectomy taking everything due to complex atypical hyperplasia on May 5, 2014 (staged afterwards to Grade 1 stage 1A) . I am into my third week of healing and now I have alot of pressure in my rectum when I have a BM. I almost have to lean backwards or it feels like my intestines are going to blow. I am also having alot of urinary urges so I took a home test to see if I had a UTI. The one part of the test showed positive for leuckocytes and the nitrites was negative. Called my gyn/onco and they ordered a urine test. Still waiting for the results. Was just wondering if anybody else had this pain and pressure feeling and is it normal? I didn't have any of that pain when I came home, most of my pain was the incision sites and being swollen. My area below didn't hurt at all.
I am also getting this "pulled" pain in my lower right gut area that if moved the wrong way, I feel it. It is really noticeable when I try and bend over.
I also had very bad vertigo after my surgery. That has subsided THANK GOD!
Any advice would be appreciated! THANKS!
Sandy

Re: Two weeks post hysterectomy:Pressure and Pain/Bladder and Rectum
Hi, Sandy --
Welcome!! I'm not sure if my bladder/bowel pain is the same as yours, but I can tell you that at almost 6 weeks post op. I'm still having bladder pain when my bladder gets full. I've heard a lot of sisters here describing it as a "bladder spasm." When I had my 4 week post op. visit, my doc said that bladder pain is very normal. She said that when they do the surgery they have to cut a lot of connective tissue between the uterus and the bladder and they also cut connective tissue between the bowel and the rectum. When she described this to me it helped me understand why I was having so much bowel pain when I had a BM and also why my bladder has been a bit sensitive also.
To help with my bowel issues I've been taking twice the dose of daily fiber, 3 colace a day and, if necessary, I use glycerin suppositories to help so I don't have to strain.
I don't know if this will help, but it might. I'd call my doctor just to be safe.
Best of luck in your recovery!

Re: Two weeks post hysterectomy:Pressure and Pain/Bladder and Rectum
I was beginning to wonder if my issues with my bladder and bowels were normal....only 12 days out from my surgery. I will be going back to work on Thursday and I suppose I was expecting to be past all the issues of going to the bathroom. It was encouraging to know that others are experiencing the same thing. I will try to be more patience. - eat more fiber, walk some, and drink plenty water.

Still a few pain issues whilst emptying bladder but now at 6 weeks it's definitely not as sore.
