Post-op Comp Hyst With Painful Urination And Area Sinks In Posted: 04-21-05 14:36pm
Hi everyone. I needed to find out if
anyone has had this weird problem before.
I am at a loss as to what it could be.
I had a complete abdominal hsyterctomy
four weeks ago for an ovarian tumor the
size of a grapefruit that was thank god
benign!. I am 41 years old. This is my
problem when I got home from the hospital
I noticed that on the onset of urinating,
it would burn and I finally realized that
while I was urinating the area right above
my pubic bone would completely sink in.
After the urination stopped it would
slowly go back normal. My incision was
from my navel down to my pubic bone. I
had told the doctor about this and treated
for a urinary tract infection which I had,
but then the second time I went to her I
actually peed in front of her to show her
how it would sink in. She did not know
what it was and had never seen anything
like it before. My doctor is only 29
years old. I am sure she has not seen
too much. Because of my health insurance
I am doctor limited. Anyway I am
wondering if this is the area where my
uterus and ovaries use to be, but why is
it collapsing inward when I have the
sensation to urinate. Has anyone ever
had this problem??? I feel my bladder
has something to do with it. Could there
be a peice left in my urethra from the
foley catheter at the time of my surgery.
It has to be related to my bladder
somehow. I wonder also if it some type
of spasm when I am urinating, but still
puzzled as to why it is collapsing inward.
While it is collapsing inward, it feels
like something is constricting
uncomfortable feeling. Any help would
be so appreciated!.

It could be your bladder. You do have a
right to a second opinion.
Good luck!
