Tender tummy after 6 months post hysterectomy

Hi glad you’ve said that - I have tender spots too! I’m 5.5 months post surgery. Assured by CNS it’s ok - but not had a check up yet as had radiotherapy- and was slightly concerned although it  has been tender since the surgery.

Hi mollysue

Glad to hear that you are doing well.

Glad that you had a check up 8 weeks ago and no signs of recurrence.

Check ups can always be a bit worrying but at the same time reassuring. I had mine last month and back again in September. 

As long as you mentioned the tender spots at the check up and the nurse specifically checked for you then I think you can be reassured.

If they were checked and there has been any change then let them know.

If they weren't checked or you did not mention then I would give them a call before your next check and they may bring it forward.

Hi Travellinggirl

I also had radiotherapy and found that my tummy was quite tender afterwards for some time. As long as you have mentioned to CNS and had reassurance - that's fine. If anything changes then let your CNS know. Mine always said to let them know of any worries and they would , if needed, bring my next check forwards

Thanks Jane. Am doing my best not to worry about everything!!

I have to call them  myself as on patient led but cnd  pressed my tummy 8 weeks ago and all was ok so maybe still healing as I read it can take a year to heal to heal inside  

Sounds reassuring, but always email or call CNS if you are worried or something doesn't feel right. I am seen every 12 weeks because things can and do sometimes change quickly. So always get checked out, if only for reassurance. 

I had queer  feelings, as if something was crawling around under my skin. This lasted for some time after my operation. Having had shingles previously, with the same feelings I knew it was the nerve endings. It takes time for things to settle down, but always ask if worried.
