Question 1

scar tissue create back pain after hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: If the surgery is recent, then scar tissue is far from the cause of the back pain. It is most likely the position of the  stirups during surgery that can cause some back pain after surgery. Especially if surgery was a long one. Anyone who has their legs in that position will have some back discomfort after surgery. If it persists, and over the counter meds don't help. See your physician for tremet.

Pain: Scar tissue formation is very common after surgery.  Sometimes, scar tissue (adhesions) will cause pain and other times will not.  If you have no pain, then there is no need to do anything.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily scar: Pelvic pain can have many causes.  You should document the onset, character (sharp, dull, crampy, etc), and how often you're having the pain as well as if you are having any other symptoms (such as issues with urination or bowel movements).  In addition, see if the pain gets better with ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetaminophen).  Most importantly, you should call the doctor to set up an appointment to be evaluated.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Discuss with gyne: After any abdominal odor pelvic surgery, it is not uncommon to form adhesions or scar tissue even in areas that were not directly operated upon. In many instances, this resolves but in other instances it may persist. I would recommend that you  continue close followup with your surgeon.

Question 8

?symptoms: What symptoms do you have? I find it difficult to believe that scar tissue from 45 years ago just started giving symptoms now. If you specify your symptoms you may get an opinion.Did you have cystoscopy? Urine culture? Bladder biopsy? Hope to see your question again and I will try to give you some opinion.Good luck.

Question 10

An expert in dealing: With adhesions who does robotic surgery may be able to help as depending on how bad it is and where the adhesions are located they may be able to be lysed and then meds put in to try to prevent future scarring, it is often times not easy to do , so whomever does it should be a skilled robotic surgeon who does a lot of them.
