Suggest Remedy For Stomach Cramps With Swelling

I had a da Vinci hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and had a follow up surgery to correct tearing a week after the initial surgery. I am in constant pain and my stomach is swollen and I have violent stomach cramps when I try to eat anything. I also feel like my insides are falling out. My Dr. says to continue complete bed rest for 2 more weeks. I am miserable, Any suggestions.

Hi,

Noted the history of da Vinci hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and had a follow up surgery to correct tearing a week after initial surgery. There is constant pain, stomach is swollen, violent stomach cramps when you try to eat anything, feels like inside is falling out.

Doctor advised to take rest for 2 more weeks. Wants suggestion.The severe cramps on eating anything indicate a possibility of intestinal obstruction. I would advise you the following:

1. X-ray of the abdomen in standing position to see if there is any gas-fluid level indicative of an intestinal obstruction.

2. CT scan would further confirm and if required and if the conservative management fails you may need a third surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
