Swelly belly after vaginal hysterectomy

i am experiencing swelly belly after a vaginal hysterectomy. Also had both ovaries and fallopian tubes remove, bladder repair, cystocele and rectocele repair. anybody else experiencing swelling belly after a vaginal hysterectomy?

thats is totally normal, i had very bad belly pain and swelling and taking stool softners helped relieved that pain. i had mine for 2 days i feel your frustration

Thanks for responding. its so frustrating. its nice to have a forum for support.

I had swelly belly for about a year after my vaginal hysterectomy, it was annoying, it was explained to me as being like a sprained ankle and the fluid (swelling) surrounding that is to protect the tissue inside, which made perfect sense.

I had a radical hysterectomy a year ago and still feel like I’ve got swelly belly it’s really getting me down as I was always a size 10/12 but now I’m buying 14’s but I am 47 and I suppose my body is going to change with the menopause

yes for up to 6 months.this is very normal so dont worry.
yiu have had such a lot done so it’s to be expected. do you realise what goes on in surgery,such a lit of trauma on yiur body. rest easy
