Hi is it normal to have pressure down below when you had a total vaginal hysterectomy. When I sit down feels heavy down below im only 6 days post op? Also when I get up from sitting?

      Yes, I had no more paid leave since it was my 3 surgery. I totally overdid it and was in bed by 7 every night.
