What Causes Abdominal Pain Post Hysterectomy?

it is three weeks since I have had a full abdominal hysterectomy, I had an infection on week two and have finished the antibiotics. I am still getting a burning abominable pain in the area I had the infection, however, I am also getting a throbbing pain lower down the right hand side above my pelvic bone, I have had lots of pain from this area in the past when moving around, but it has started to increase. Many thanks Midge

Hi Midge.
The infection after any surgery can cause close-cavity infection.
It looks you have a close-cavity infection on the right side above the pelvic bone as it is throbbing.
I would suggest you to undergo urgent high resolution ultrasonography to watch for an abscess; if present re-exploration is the best way to drain the abscess and put in a drain to avoid further complications like septicemia and bacteremia.
The burning pain is again suggestive of an active inflammatory process.
Go for . Blood- complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch,
Urine- routine,microscopy, culture and sensitivity ( before the change of antibiotic).
This will certainly help you to recovering faster and completely.
Pus culture and sensitivity has to be insisted upon.
I find this answer helpful
