Hi
I definatly wouldnt advise going back to work just yet. I work in a docs surgery and know how manic it can be and only went back 12 weeks after my hysterectomy and rectocoele repair. I have been back 4 weeks now but still on reduced hours as i cant manage full time hours. Keep using laxatives and suppositories if you need them , its not good to strain as its still very early days for you yet also rest as much as you possibly can.
Good luck and i hope you start to feel better soon x
hi bobsey
thankyou for your comments. i think i will have another week off. my bm are very unpredictable at the moment. i only do 25 hrs so as long as im sensible im sure i will be ok. i do two full days and two half. maybe they would let me adjust my two full days for alittle while as i still have an afternoon nap.
love this forum everyone has been so helpful the hospital dont tell you anything.
you’re so right about the lack of information.I was able to speak to the hospital matron,she acknowledged that fact.and she said she would be arranging a pack to be given to all the women having this type of op.I mentioned this forum and how helpful it’s been for us.no doubt you’ve mentioned it to the doctors in your surgery.anyways glad to know you’re managing OK. bowels do take time to adjust.I now have no need of suppositories .
just prunes and prune juice.and stool softness. laxatives now and then.
Magnesium citrate 400mg. helped me. Try to get capsules. Pills are quite large and i found hard to take. i added one a day to other things i was using.
Hope you get the relief you need soon.
