Hello. I am in my third week of recovery from my abdominal hysterectomy. My ovaries remain in tact. My recovery is going well for the most part, however, I am continuing to experience quite a bit of pain in my left abdominal region. I visited my doctor after my first post op checkup for this reason, and he performed an abdominal ultrasound. The only thing he found was that there was bile and scar tissue attached to my descending colon. He recommended Metamucil three times daily until my next appointment. I experienced some relief for about a week, but I continue to experience pain, quite intense at times, in the same area.  What else should I do about this pain?
Hi. Ideally there should not be any pain in abdomen after any surgery. There can not be bile attached to your colon; scar tissues - yes they can be. I would advise relaxing if there are no other associated symptoms like distension of abdomen, altered stool habits, nausea, vomiting or so. F any of the mentioned problems are associated, I would advise patient to undergo a CT scan of abdomen to ascertain the cause and treat accordingly.
