What Causes Sharp Pain On The Stomach After Hysterectomy?

I had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and have been doing fine but yesterday I got a sharp pain in my left side of my stomach next to where the scar is around my belly button. I don t remember doing anything unusual but the pain has been there since yesterday and sometimes it really hurts.

Hi.
Noted the history of Hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and development of sharp pain in the left side of your abdomen next to the scar around the belly button.
This may be due to intestinal obstruction , stuck to the scar from within the abdomen or a small abscess that ruptured or development of incisional hernia.

I would advise you the following:
Physical examination of the abdomen by a General Surgeon.
High resolution ultrasonography.
CT scan of the area if required.
It is possible that you may have to wait for two and half months before next surgery is to be planned if it is required.
