Q: Unable to pass gas after hysterectomy

asked by: njmac on December 28th, 2008

I had a vaginal hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. I have not had any pain or problems until day 11 after my surgery. I started having bowel & intestinal cramps & pain that will not go away. It's severe, steady pain which only gets work with gas pain rolling up & down my stomach all day & night. I am unable to pass the gas. I'm haveing pretty normal bowel movements although yesterday morning I took a laxative suppository b/c I thought I might be constipated. No relief. Does anyone have any idea what this is & if it could be related to my hysterectomy?

I had the same surgery back in 2001 and the same feeling of discomfort from it. It will go away.

Had a vag hysterectomy on Monday,can't get rid of gas pain. Abdominal pressure,and constant lower back pain, feels like severe menestrual cramps. Hard to differ if it is difinitely gas pain or from the surgery. Trying to take tylenol 500, hate to take statex. Can't get comfortable. Slight bleeding noted yet. Taking gasex, with some effect, and drinking anise seeds for gas.

I am on my 12th day of a vaginal hysterectomy> On day 11 I was doing pretty good and then all of a sudden I had severe lower back pain and my lower abdomen pain. Also had lots of pressure there when I stood up. It got so bad I could barely walk and it hurt to urinate. I was fine as long as I was laying down and I had lots of movement in stomach also. Then I had a bowel movement this morning and things are much better. Does anyone have any lower abdomen pressure on the right side?
