Why am I having hot flashes five years after a radical hysterectomy?
Best answer:
Weird. Have you recently lost weight or anything like that? Or is it possible you have a thyroid problem?

How can I treat granulation tissue after a radical hysterectomy?
Best answer:
i am 45 and had one 17 years ago,i really think it may have started innocently enough, but you have a infection from the operation .go back to the Dr if you tell him you think you have a infection, hes going to think your looking for a law suite, just suggest that maybe antibiotics might help.dont put him or her on alarm because if its your infection or thier butt. its going to be you.Several hysterectomy support sites have lists of what to expect after hysterectomy but they may represent a mixture of hysterectomy effects as well as symptoms from having the ovaries removed. The biggest complaint most women have is fatigue. This persists for 2 or 3 months post op. It seems to last longer when the return to activity is slower. In other words it pays to become more active sooner after surgery.

Other immediate (within two weeks) post op symptoms may include:
urinary tract frequency and urgency
requires being checked for possible urinary tract infection although there may just be bladder spasms due to catheter irritation or small pelvic collections of blood near the bladder.
incisional problems
discharge or weeping of the incision in the first week or two
itching or burning of the incision at 3-6 weeks
pain that is localized to one side of the incision or another
swelling underneath or to the side of the incision but different than the rest of the incision
abdominal wall laxness, pot belly, bloated appearance
gastrointestinal problems
increased "gassiness" immediately after surgery (treatable with simethicone tablets or liquid)
constipation treatable with stool softeners, flax seed
loose stools (especially if antibiotics were given)
vaginal problems
bloody or odorous discharge for 1st 1-4 weeks
odor without much discharge (may require topical vaginal antibiotic cream if persists beyond a week)
vulvar burning or itching (usually just due to dryness and not a yeast infection)
mood changes
reversion to moods previously ignored due to hecticness of every day life
fatigue
decreased libido
increased feelings of stress and anxiety
increased depressive symptoms
(Note - any 6 week period of significantly altered daily activity like postoperative recovery can lead to a change in mood for better or worse. It is not very predictable.)
pain
pain and swelling or redness at the site of the intravenous needles
pelvic cramps and catches somewhat sporadic in occurrence or related to increased physical activity
general problems
generalized allergic rash or itching to medications such as antibiotics or pain medicines

Remember that most women will say it takes up to 6 months after surgery before they do not think on a daily basis about having had surgery.
