Hello Hysterectomy Friends!!
I had an abdominal hysterectomy on 12
September. All went well, but I'm getting
a bit worried about how swollen my tummy
is. The internal stitches are really
tight and my tummy is really swollen above
and below the incision area. Is this
normal?
I'm in a lot of discomfort when I go to
the loo (not for a wee though!) and am
worried that they've stitched things up a
bit too tight inside for me to go
properly.
My incision area isn't inflamed and is
healing well. I didn't have any clips or
external stitches. They just seemed to
glue it together and secure is over the
top with some strips of tape!
I'd really appreciate any advice you can
give. I've only just discovered this
site, so I'll have a read through the
posts to see if anyone else has had this
trouble.
Hope to hear from you soon! Many thanks!
Maggie
