Hi has anyone had a vac pump for perineal wound.

I had further surgery Tuesday to remove dead flesh from vaginal wall and vac pump fitted this was OK until yesterday when nurses turned up to change dressing.

The pain was so intense they couldn't redress and they going to try again today I have been given morphine to take 45 mins before.

Has anyone had this problem.

Also since surgery I have been so constipated so I have pain from that I have a perm stoma

Any advice greatly appreciated

Was about early with a little time to spare and noticed you had no replies as yet.

Most of the messages / questions here about Vac Pumps are in the Bowel Group (link) so it may get you some replies from those with some experience of these and perineal wounds if you posted this as a new message in that group as well ?

You could also type Vac Pump into the Bowel Group page search bar to find other messages if you are pushed for time before you get seen today.

Hope the morphine makes redressing more do'able; sounds painful :-/

Take care, G n' J
