What Causes Bloating And Painful Bowel Movement After Hysterectomy?
Hi, I m just 1 week post op vaginal hysterectomy with laparoscopic help, the healing is ok, still some pain, especially painful bloating, I don t have constipation but I m screaming from pain during bowel movement, is this normal? Yesterday I was wearing first time belly support panties, was so nice feeling throughout the day, but at ev I got very painful belly when I removed the panties. Is this normal? Today I m wearing belly support belt, is adjustable, so I hope it will be better at ev time.

Hello,
It is due to gastritis and bowel manipulation during the surgery. As the first line of management, you can take an antacid like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
