    Hi Nicola, 

    I had a full hysterectomy at the end of June last year so it's 14 months ago now and I was exactly the same for a few months, I was scared of leaving the house but everything seems back to normal now thank goodness 😊

    Hi Nicola

    Sorry if I'm being a bit thick but do you mean that you have been or haven't?

      Hi Nicola that sounds awful! Poor you. I would definitely go to the doctors and get it checked.

      I was lucky as the ward I was on gave me a direct number to call if I had any problems. Get it checked out mate.

      No problem. Let us know what the doc says. Hopefully it's a "normal" thing with some women. Must be horrible.

      Hope all goes well

    Hi Nicola.

    Are you drinking a lot of fluids, and making sure you eat lots of food that keeps the bowels loose, like they told you to in hospital? If so, maybe you are taking in a bit too much fibre and fluid?

    Just a thought. Hope it helps, or someone else can help.

      Hiya vauxhallgirl

      Yeah I'm eating what I should eat I'm not really bothered about the amount if times I go I've always been regular it's the fact that normally you feel it coming on but at the moment there's nothing then omg I need to go I'm not loose just normal xx

      Oh I see. Yes that sounds a bit odd. Maybe things are still a bit nerve-jangly in there at the moment....they rough you around a bit - moving organs out of the way - when doing the Hyster. But a word with the Doc is probably your best bet. x
