What Causes Numbness On The Thighs After A Total Hysterectomy?

Hi, I had endometrial cancer and had a total hysterectomy last week. A day after surgery, I noticed the tops of my thighs were numb. Today, I noticed they were sore and I felt a sort of burning sensation. Is this normal. I had lymph nodes biopsies also.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Please clarify if your surgery was with spinal anaesthesia or not. If the surgery was with spinal anaesthesia, the symptoms are due to the same. Please feel free to get back to me with more information.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
