What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen Post Intercourse Following Hysterectomy?
Question: Hi, I am 8 weeks post abdominal hystorectomy, have had sex very gentle with my husband for the first time since surgery, immediately experienced abdom I nal paid, bloating and can't take a deep breath without pain. ..
Brief Answer:
It may be from an ovarian cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
In terms of the cramping/pain you MIGHT have an ovarian cyst .
Normal hormone production and ovarian cysts can continue to occur even without a uterus.
Another possibility would be adhesions (filmy bands of scar tissue).
Adhesions arise from surgeries,infections (eg PID, ruptured appendix, etc), or endometriosis.
Yes, I would recommend that you see your GYN to see if there is an obvious source of the pain.
Having examined patients with concerns similar to yours I would have to say that sometimes we are never able to find out what prompted that immediately experienced abdominal pain.
An ultrasound can identify an ovarian cyst, if present.
All the best and fast recovery
