Had a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oopherectomy with excision plus Endometriosis shaven off bladder and bowel on August 12th. It’s been approx 6 weeks now and I am experiencing weird pressure feeling inside. Don’t know whether it’s my bladder or vaginal cuff or something else but it is very uncomfortable at the moment and is affecting my sleep too. After operation i had problems with my bladder. Almost wasn’t discharged following day as I was having problems emptying my bladder. It was also very painful. My husband drove me home once I was finally discharged and had to make 4 pit stops throughout the hour journey home, as it was so painful that I had to go to the toilet. A week later I discovered through a gp visit I had a urine test done which was positive for a UTI and vaginal swab taken which came back as ‘borderline’. Went on antibiotics (specific for UTI ) for 7 days and was fine after although urinating still not comfortable... more frequent also. 6 weeks of this uncomfortable feeling I now also have a real downward pressure feeling inside which is making me worry. My post op appointment with my consultant is not till Mid October.
Any thoughts or advice welcome or own experiences in this area.
Thank you. 🙂
