Distention Of Abdomen, Heaviness In Legs After Hysterectomy, Varicose Vein In Legs. Any Ideas?
I am 60 yrs old female. I had total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy 8 months ago. I am also hypothyroid on treatment. Since the operation I have distention of my abdomen and heaviness in my legs. Shape of my abdomen has changed and I always feels pressure inside with occasional backache. I started seeing varicose veins on both legs and burning sensation in my feet. What is going on?? Thank You

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You are 60 years old, female, had hysterectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy, 8 months ago. You are also a hypothyroid patient. after operation, you had destention, heaviness, in legs, shape of abdomen has changed, and occassional back ache, vericose veins, on both legs, and burning sensation in feet.
Change in shape of abdomen,back ache, heaviness of legs, vericose veins may be due to some internal adhesions and obstructions to the veins of the legs may be the cause.
burning of the feet may be due to lack of oestrogen harmone due to oophorectomy. Some of the symptoms may be corrected by harmone replacement therapy if there is no contraindication.
Otherwise it can be corrected by neurotrophic vitamin injection supplements, and diet restriction, by avoiding oily foods, junk foods, and spicy foods.
Avoid sedentary life habits, practice divertion procedures like yoga , meditation, reading books of your interest, and hearing music.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
