Re: Pain after TVH???
My doctor told me that my uterus was normal size of about the size of a pear. Which if you picture a pear up inside your vagina yes it will put unbearable pressure on your rectum! Get started with what ever you canto get the constipation under control. The nurses at my gyn's office were and still are very helpful with this. A lot of water, fiber like Metamucil drinks, prune juice. One princess here has posted several times about stewed okra. Not my favorite veggie but she says cook it in tomato sauce and it tastes just fine, it will help things slide right out I am now 11 days post op and feeling mostly good, totally out of Percocet and not worried about that. Ibuprofen should take care of it from here on out, I think.
