Had Lathroscopic Hysterectomy. Total Hysterectomy With Rectocele Correction Near Rectum. Soreness In Abdomen. On Advil. Suggestions?
Just home from robotic lathroscopic hysterectomy. Total hysterectomy with rectocele correction and removal of skin tag near rectum. Experiencing a lot of soreness yet in the abdomen, Very sore and burning rectal area. Trying to keep on top of this with Advil (2 every four to six hours) /been sleeping in recliner. Hurts to sit on hard surface. How long does it take for the abdominal/bloat/gas to dissapate? With the rectal area stitches, I feel a constant burning in the vaginal/rectal area. Is the rectocele repair part of this discomfort. Felt pretty good in the hospital with the IV pain drugs and then had trouble with hydrocodone and constipation. Switched to Advil only.' Help???
Hi, you had robotic laproscopic total hysterectomy. There will be so many complicated stitches and contractions, you may have all these for nearly 10 days, if it exceeds you consult your surgeon for follow up. It may also be due to anxiety and tension. i to my patient with such symptoms as usually happen to occur prescribe alprazolam .5 mg Hs for few days. And continue the antibiotic for few more days. Thank you.
