hoping that someone is around to reassure me, think this might be normal...I am now 5 weeks post surgery (I think I have read there can be more swelling in week 4 is this true of week5?) still taking it easy, doing a little more walking around but no lifting etc.
I had a period which finished 3 days ago. Since then I have felt the sort of sideways tampon feeling/dragging very high up in my vagina. Just swelling?
Really hate not being able to see what is wrong or right.
Does this sound Normal?
Yes perfectly normal, don't worry. At five weeks some stitches may be loosening off and/ or coming out, and things start to drop into position.
Expect anything for the next few weeks, it's all part of the healing process.
I am turning into such a worrier
really have far too much time on my hands!
I was the same, when you can't do a lot your mind goes into overdrive and every little thing becomes a big thing to worry about.😳
Hi mossup, ja, das ist normal. Ich habe immer noch gelegentlich Schwellungen und ich bin in der 7. Woche. Es ist wirklich ein Fall von einem Schritt vorwärts und zwei zurück mit dieser Genesung 😔 Pass auf dich auf x
Twice in last 1.5 hours I have been at computer replying to you. Both times, an ad appeared and i could not retrieve what I'd written!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks post op with similar feelings and significant pain. I saw surgeon yesterday and he made light of my pain as "everything looks fine". He did say I still had significant swelling which could account for "discomfort". Before I lose this message, I just want to say that expectaions mean a lot and I don't believe most women are given realistic expectaions regarding recovery time. The women on this site have saved my sanity. Keep reading and communicating. You will learn more here than in the doc's office.
My best wished to you
Hi Deb, try to download a program called ad blocker plus on to your comp. It's very good at getting rid of unwanted ads. Good luck. Poll x
Deb, thanks you for making effort to reply despite the pesky ads!! Really heartened by your experience. Have felt much better today and yesterday. I am on full on leaving do mode. But taking care to be sat down at all time
i am am so glad I have so much time to recover. I feel hopeful and I do t think this is the fizz talking xx
Try not to worry. It if you feel unwell or you have discharge go to your GP. Also make sure you get your follow up appointment at 6 Weeks. Once you are examined you can be reassured. You will still have swelling and stitches causing discomfort. Hope all ok at your check up.
