i am sorry your still having said pain. I am 6 weeks out of surgery an still have pressure an pain . BEFORE an bowel movements are some what difficult as well. from what i understand every one is different an it just takes time. try to eat a hi fiber diet . stat away from things that are hard to digest an graze thru the day. seems when i eat a big meal or red meat it is not gut friendly. drink lots of water an take colace as a suppliment . dont strain to go. i do hope that this is help ful an you find relief soon.

hi
I had a tvh last year and haven't had any issues. please go back to yiu consultant hun and get some answers. yiu should be on the mend by now but I do know it takes 12 months to fully heal I internally.
if you get no answers from your surgeon seek a second opinion, by a new surgeon. its yiur body and yiu know how it feels.
good luckxxx

yes i keep thinking scar tissue but drs dont seem to want to look they just keep saying if its removed it could cause more. i did have a large internal bleed after my hysterecomy and i wonder if all that blood swilling around has cause adhesions too

maybe you should go to a gastro doc an have them do a GI . there could be other problen non related. pending on why you had the procedure you had. i had fibroids an things where very crowded . every thing inside is shifting i am sure plus there was so much scar tissue an lesions . endo metriosis andomyoma pre cancerous cells found in the end patholigist report. it was a mess in there gorl. 5 1/2 hours later i am a stired up mess inside. i am for sure it will be a year or two befor i regain my muchness but. to be in the safe side if i were you get it checked. get you report take it to your family doc . have them refer you to a soecialist an go from there best of the best to you . please let me know what you discover.

hi paula i have been refered to gastro had cameras and barum meal follow through all clear..all they could offer is a stoma and that is a route im not prepared to go down the logic behind gastro is that i wont get the pain in i dont use my rectum but i get the pain with sitting too . recently had mri on my lower back that has shown l4/l5 with a bone spur touching s1 nerve so they are looking into that at the moment
