Question 1

is it possible for you to still get menstrual cramps even after a hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: If your ovaries were left behind at the time of hysterectomy, you might get pain coming from them if you develop an ovarian cyst or torsion of the ovaries. Also have in mind gastrointestinal conditions that can mimick cramps like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal adhesions , bladder infections etc.

Question 2

i had a full hysterectomy over a year ago i still have my ovaries but everything else is gone i have been having cramps that wake me out of my sleep, what could be causeing it and should i be conserned? i also have been bleeding a bit the past two weeks a

Accepted Answer

Somewhat: Concerning.  If you are having some bleeding after a hysterectomy you should review this with your doctor(s).  The cramping sounds severe too, particularly, if it's waking from sleep. Again another reason to be seen and evaluated by your doctor(s).

Question 3

i had a full hysterectomy a little over 2yrs ago due to endometriosis. i have no fallopian tubes, only ovaries. is it normal to still feel cramps? i n

Accepted Answer

Ovaries and endometr: Despite your surgery, the main culprit of your endometriosis is still in place. It is likely that some, even microscopic areas, endometriosis were never removed. The hormones produced by your ovaries can result in the growth and further problems with endometriosis. Also, the ovaries will continue to cycle monthly and produce eggs and small cysts which can result in some cramping.

Question 4

had hysterectomy , kept ovaries 3 yrs ago .last night had the worse pelvic cramps i guessed cyst i get them. this was worst still can't  move  no doc ?

Accepted Answer

Pain after hyst: Pain after hysterectomy is common if the surgery was because of endometriosis or scar tissue.  Find a free clinic or urgent care to get an ultrasound. Cyst can be controlled by birth control pills so you have options to consider with a doctor. Don't ignore the pain.  If it's  bad enough, you should go to the nearest emergency room.

Question 5

can i get a hysterectomy at 20? ive tried every form of birth control i can think of but my periods still last for about a month each time and i only get 1-2 weeks without one. the cramps are so bad i throw up from pain and cant get out of bed?

Accepted Answer

Find out why first: You need to undergo a thorough examination and evaluation by a GYN MD first to find out why the cramping is so severe. There a many treatable  gynecological  maladies and conditions short of hysterectomy that would preserve your future reproductive capacity since you are only 20 years of age. See one soon.

Question 6

how long do cramps after hysterectomy last?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Some women have cramps for a few hours, some for a few days, and some for a few weeks.  It varies widely from patient to patient.

Question 7

i had a hysterectomy about a year ago an every now an then i get cramps is that normal?

Accepted Answer

No uterus: If you do not have a uterus then cramping must be caused from something else. Consider seeing a gastroenterologist to evaluate your intestines.

Question 8

i'm having cramps in my lower ab region. had completed hysterectomy 7yrs ago. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Post hyst abd pain: Most commonly, it is your intestinal tract. Depending on the description of the pain, and when it occurs, would help in the diagnosis.

Question 9

what could cause menstrual like cramps 4 years after total hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Not your uterus...: Obviously, if there is no uterus, the cramps can't be menstrual. But your bladder and intestines are still "down there", so they would need to be evaluated if you are still having pain.

Good luck.

Question 10

47yrs-total hysterectomy 5 years ago due to endrometiosis, started to have cramps and bleed, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Go to doctor: Not at all. This could represent significant disease. You need to be examined by a GYN specialist urgently.
