Nausea and pain six months after TAH.

[shali1981]

Hi all, six months ago I finally had a TAH for adeno, endo and pcos. I was a high risk due to possible endo on the bowel. But thankfully this was a minor issue and everything went well. I am now six months post op and other feeling like my head is on fire with the occasional flush and the mental side of it I have been pain free for the first time in 19 years.

However, this week I have been having a heck of a lot of pain. I at one point thought ny period was coming (see, mental) but it was the same agonising pain I have had for days. However this is now coupled with nausea that is crippling me. I haven't felt this nauseous since my lovely six month hyperemesis with my daughter!

I made the mistake of Googling (I should know better) but the common theme is women with these symptoms test for the return or endo. But surely it can't be with a TAH. Has anyone else gone through this? Or have you had a TAH followed by my symptoms.x

Definitely get medical adVIce -could be an infection -UTI or wound infection.Do you have atemperature,sweats,chills as well as nausea and pain?Sadly unless every single bit of endo was excised from your insides,endo can come back,and especially if youare on HRT.Lots of ladies on here,still bothered with endo pain after TAH.

Hope this helps and do get yourself checked out.

Hi. Thank you for your reply! There is no swelling around the wound or redness. I do have an awful cold but no temp. I'm used to UTI s and can normally spot them a mile away.

I need to see my GP but I am full of a cold so I don't want to go just yet. I am managing to treat the pain at home with pain relief but it is concerning me. I have had a huge change to my bowels, this is the main reason I think endo may be the cause along side pain.

When I originally went for surgery I was due to have it done in a private hospital however the mri showed potential issues with my bowel. They decided to move the surgery to an high risk unit. There bowel was fine they said but there was a lot of adhesions. So no guarantee to see if any endo was left. Apparently scar tissue from previous surgeries has left quite a mess!

The changes in my bowel along with all my other symptoms and the fact that the hrt is sending me loopy is making me wonder if the oestrogen is now working fully and is stimulating new endo
