Vaginal Hysterectomy Post Op Complications Posted: 06-30-05 22:38pm
I am 34 years old, I underwent a vaginal
hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo
oopherectomy on may 18, 2005.
Unfortunately, my insurance company only
allowed this px as outpatient with
observation. I was d/c on may 19. On
may 20, I became extremely ill including
103 fever, vomitting, excruciating lower
abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. I
contacted my physician via telephone who
recommended, antibiotics and percocet, for
pain. By monday, may 23, I was
readmitted inpatient with a post-op
illius, however, the complications
continued to worsen. Lab work was
performed, which indicated septicism, a ua
indicated a bladder infection, and a ct
scan reflected a 16 cm infectious hematoma
in my lower abdomen. On may 25, my
physician recommended surgically draining
the hematoma (via vaginal). The px was
completed successfully. I had extreme
bleeding for the next three inpatient
days. I was then d/c on friday, may 27
on antibiotics to control the infection.
I continued to have bright red vaginal
bleeding for approximately two weeks after
discharge. I then met with my family
practice physician to discuss the
prolonged bleeding. Upon examination, he
suggested an additional ct scan. The
second ct scan indicated yet another
hematoma. My gyn suggested antibiotic
treatment, to control infection in hopes
that the hematoma drains and/or is
absorbed into my body (rather than
additional surgical treatment). I have
experienced seven weeks of continued
vaginal bleeding which subsided two days
ago, however, the pain and pressure has
not. I am extremely concerned that the
hematoma has not drained and could
possibly be growing larger.
Any suggestions and encouragement would be
greatly appreciated!
