Question 1

what would the symptoms of scar tissue be after vaginal hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

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.  However, scar tissue is less likely to form after vaginal hysterectomy than abdominal hysterectomy.  Please see your doctor if you are having any issues.

Question 2

is it common to have problems with scar tissue after a vaginal hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Can Happen: Adhesions or scar tissue can occur with any kind of surgery.
The route of entry does not matter.

Question 3

could i have scar tissue on my colon after vaginal hysterectomy; and how would i know?

Accepted Answer

Adhesions: Any intra-abdominal process like a hysterectomy can cause scarring/adhesions within the abdominal cavity. It does not cause actual scarring of the colon unless it was injured intra-op.

Question 4

had partial vaginal hysterectomy 7 yrs ago. 3 months ago, began wrking w/ personal trainer. can scar tissue cause gut-ripping pain. will it bleed inter?

Accepted Answer

"Gut-ripping" bad!: Scarring or adhesions from surgery can tear with activity, and it can cause pain, although usually not bleeding. However, pain described as "gut-wrenching" sounds pretty bad. If that is continuing, you should be seen so a good history and exam can be done to give you a better answer!

Question 5

could scar tissue be causing me to have pelvic pain especially when i have a sonagram vaginally, i had a csection in 2010 then a hysterectomy in 2011 ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: A scar neuroma may be capable of sending abonnormal pain signals. You will know if this is causing it is if you press down on you scar and it reproduces your symptoms. The best way is have your doctor examine you.

Question 6

complete hysterectomy 4y ago. w/vaginal cuff revision 1y ago. scar tissue removed. painful sex. spotting. pain in back & abdomin. low grade fever.?

Accepted Answer

Needs follow up: This is a complex situation with lots of possibilities. The fever should be addressed first since that could be caused by so many things. Then your gynecologist can assess the vaginal cuff. You may have granulation tissue, scar tissue, pelvic adhesions or a number of other issues which can be addressed.

Question 7

yeast infection symptoms 3 days prior to vaginal hysterectomy. what to do?

Accepted Answer

CALL YOUR GYN !!!!!: Who is going to do the surgery, I am sure he will want you to take an anti- yeast medication.

Question 8

is a lot of crying normal after a vaginal hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

No: The reasons for the surgery bear delving into psychologically. If the surgery was sudden, not of your choice, and childbearing was not completed see a Psychologist soon as there may be  appropriate reactive depression ensuing with a grief response.

Question 9

how long after a vaginal hysterectomy can i be stimulated externally to orgasm?

Accepted Answer

Right away: There is no danger with external/clitoral stimulation almost immediately if you feel up to it.  The precaution is not to insert anything vaginally, and certainly not deep because the cuff where the uterus was removed needs to heal.  Placing anything into the vagina can rip open the sutures. Otherwise there are really no issues.

Question 10

how long after a vaginal hysterectomy can i climb stairs?

Accepted Answer

When comfortable: When you feel comfortable enough to do it. No set time limit.
