Is Swollen Stomach Normal After TAH?
I had a TAH on Dec 16 and my belly still seems swollen is this normal and I am wondering if possible around certain times of the month your body can still feel like it is going through PMS and would you have bloating and cramping, even though I had a TAH

Hi.
There may be a collection either in the abdominal wall like a seroma or there can be an intestinal problem due to adhesions.
High resolution sonography along with Standing abdominal x-ray can give an indication about what is going on inside.
Please consult your Doctor and ask for any investigations like CT scan of the abdomen if he/she feels so.
Feeling like PMS and bloating and cramping can sometimes be just a psychological thing if you are sure that the whole uterus was removed.
