A member asked:

Why do i have a very enlarged abdomen after a hysterectomy 1 week ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Postop Ileus: This is common after any abdominal surgery, primarily related to abnormal bowel function secondary to narcotic pain mediction. This can be worsened by stretching of the abdominal wall associated w/laparoscopy. The best solution is "time" and limiting pain meds. Feel better!
