Hiya lovely ladies I’m 11 days post op now and have been up and down in recovery I feel like I’m taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. Still in a bit of pain and have had an ecoli urine infection and now on the second dose of antibiotics. Also experiencing some heavy bleeding. I’ve been back to emergency gynae and they seem to think it’s normal. There sending me for a transvaginal ultrasound just to check everything is ok. I had a large fibroid removed during the hysterectomy and it caused a tear. They did an internal and couldn’t find anything abnormal but the burning pain and the stinging is still uncomfortable. Just wondering if anybody else had this after their op. Xx
Hi Y12 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.

Hi Y12
I am sorry to hear that you have been having some bleeding and also a urine infection following your surgery.
How are you feeling now?
If you are still having the burning pain and stinging perhaps contact your doctor again. Sometimes it can need different antibiotics if the original ones do not clear up any infection.
I hope that it all settles down for you soon.
Jane
