Scar tissues and abdominal adhesions
Posted , 5 users are following.
Anyone experienced scar tissues and abdominal adhesions after radical prostatectomy?
I seem to have them and they are disturbing my disgestive system tremendously: bloating, and some intestinal pains that come and go. No constipation, very light and rare diarreha.
I had a serious infection following the op and loads of antibiotics.

Though not a Dr. I would GUESS the digestive issues may stem from the infection and antibiotics

I am 52.
PSA 6.23
GLEASON SCORE 3+3=6
Six of twelve samples taken came back positive for cancer.
Because half of my samples came back positive the doctor recommended removing it.
Read a 240 page book with much info in it and decided to get a second opinion, It was the same only this doctor could do robotic surgery. It seemed like the best choice to me.
I was home in three days and had to return to the ER for excruciating pain in the abdominal area. I spent 6 more days in the hospital. I had 2 1/2 enemas from the back side and milk of mag., stool softeners, prune juice from the top side (that I remember). I was swollen up like a tick! Day three they gave me a choice of another laxative or to have my stomach pumped, I gladly had my stomach pumped.
To answer your question, it has been 23 days now and I have to be very careful what I eat and how much. I feel a little better most every day. I have small bowel movements but my gut feels fuller that I think it should and my butt has almost a constant pain. The only relief I really get is when I have a bm, the larger the better. The pain feels like the soreness you get when you start riding your bicycle at the beginning of the season but is not really a soreness at all because it is relieved with a bm. Very disappointing in the recovery time.

Very sorry for you. Prostatectomy isn't a good choice. I refused it. Have PCa too. Sure, I am not cured, but my quality of life was preserved for 8 years. Now , 16 years later, I am not in a good shape any more, but I don't regret. Hope your state will improve.
