Question 1

my wife had a miscarriage. as a result of further cauterisation her uterus got 3 times bigger. what is the best way for recovery back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: When women have miscarriages, they often have d&cs afterward.  Cauterization implies heat... Like an endometrial ablation (something your wife is too young for).  An enlarged uterus without fibroids is typically adenomyosis (similar to endometriosis).  The best treatment for adenomyosis is hormone management with birth control pills, or shots.  Definitely speak to a doctor if you or she is worried.

Yes: I'm not sure what you had cauterization of but I am guessing it was minor and thus yes, you should be fine to go to school tomorrow as long as it was a minor in office procedure or with minor/brief anesthesia.

Question 7

how can you manage pain after a hysterectomy and cauterization procedure?

Accepted Answer

Combination: Usually narcotics are given (tylenol (acetaminophen) with codiene, vicodin, percocets, etc). Take these as recommended but remember you can also take Ibuprofen or naprosyn (advil or aleve) and the combination work better together. Try to move around, avoid over-exerting yourself, & call your doc if your pain is worsening. Sometimes a change in meds helps also. Take good care of yourself.

Question 8

how painful is nose cauterization?

Accepted Answer

Not bad: It dependson what is needed.  If the area on the septum is small, without a real "juicy" blood vessel, i spray the nose with Lidocaine and afrin, (oxymetazoline) and then put little pieces of cotton (cottonoids) with the same med in the nose for 10 minutes.  This numbs pretty well.  If I have to use electrical cautery, I do this and then inject local.  This smarts a little.  Then the cautery rarely hurts.

Question 9

how much does nose cauterization hurt?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Pain is relative and what one person says is a slight twinge may be quite painful for another. That said, i usually apply a topical anesthetic first. This tends to make the procedure more comfortable.

Question 10
