What Causes Urinary And Digestive Issues Post Hysterectomy?
My daughter had a vaginal hysterectomy about two weeks ago. She developed an abscess in her stomach area. She was back in the hospital for the past week on antibiotics . Meanwhile she cannot urinate or have regular bowel movements. Her white blood cell count is still a little high so they sent her home with antibiotics. She cannot clear her bowels or her bladder and she is feeling absolutely awful. Am very worried but no one has gotten to the bottom of this. What do we do?
Her symptoms can be due to constipation and or urinary bladder dysfunction. I will suggest you to get her USG ((Ultrasonography) done. Secondly, if along with vaginal hysterectomy, cystocele, urethrocele repair was done.
Please seek prescription support from her treating doctor for mild bulk laxatives like Duphalac 15 ml at night for 7 days.

What Causes Urinary And Digestive Issues Post Hysterectomy?
Hello, Her symptoms can be due to constipation and or urinary bladder dysfunction. I will suggest you to get her USG ((Ultrasonography) done. Secondly, if along with vaginal hysterectomy, cystocele, urethrocele repair was done. Please seek prescription support from her treating doctor for mild bulk laxatives like Duphalac 15 ml at night for 7 days. If USG shows signs of bladder neck obstruction, she will need catheterization. Please seek support from urologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
