Question 7

after having my hysterectomy 4weeks ago i had a abdominal incision at the site its numb like it has no feeling at the bottom of my stomach is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Numbness is normal: After any type of invasive procedure , the skin at the site often remains numb after the initial healing phase. Any superficial nerves that might have been cut must heal, and some estimates are that nerve tissue only heals about  1 mm a month !

Question 8

i had a total abdominal hysterectomy  in april 2013. i am numb below the cut. is this normal?  does this mean i have nerve damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes/no: It is normal to cut peripheral nerves if an incision was used for this procedure. Abnormal sensations around that area are normal for a while. Nerves can ball up and form neuromas sometimes,and other nerve changes can occur. If this bothers you, phone your surgeon to ask his/her experience with that surgery outcome.

Question 9

after my abdominal hysterectomy the right side of my vg is numb like when you get injection on tooth to make it numb is this normal. i am 2 months post op? i also urinate a lot

Accepted Answer

Contact your surgeon: You need to contact your surgeon as you may have a urinary tract infection or other bladder complication. Skin nerves (cutaneous) are frequently interrupted during abdominal surgeries and often regenerate eliminating the numbness. Please note this  to  your surgeon at the visit for evaluation.

Question 10

i had a vaginal hysterectomy a month ago.i removed my womb but not ovaries. now my left leg goes numb, burn, tingly feeling. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

It is not normal.: Have your leg checked and make sure you do not have DVT (blood clots in the leg veins). It may be over stretching or pressure on the leg nerve us a result of positioning at time of your surgery and if it's so it should resole in time, be patient.
