Cramps 6wks post Hysterectomy

[Boober06]

My recovery from my Hysterectomy has been very straightforward relief from my symptoms of Adenomyosis was instant and confirmed with pathology of my uterus...

Today however I have had increasing painful cramping...😥 Surely this isn't normal this far along?

Hi Boober06

It is worrying when u develop sudden pain.

did you have a total lap hysterectomy? Ovaries removed?

With sudden pain like this after having a good initial recovery - I can only assume you have done something u shouldn’t do in terms of exercise. I had the TLH with BSO and was strictly advised NOT to exercise the core muscles or have sex until at least 12 weeks , some even advise 16 weeks.

You need to get the pain checked out.

Wishing you well xx

I had total but left ovaries, all I've been doing exercises wise is walking...

we did have sex the night before pain started but it didn't hurt at all and was very gentle.. we had clearance...

Going to Gp Thursday....

Could it be phantom period pains??

Hi Boober06 - well it could be anything including phantom period pains but best to get it checked - could be ovulation - you can have pain with that I believe?

Let me know how you get on xx
