I am having bad cramps what is causing it?


Question:
I had a hysterectomy June 23 so I know its not my period (they took my uterus and cervix) and the doc said I wouldnt have it anymore. Was just wondering what would be causing it?

Answers:
About 30 days after abdominal surgery (hysterectomy) your abdomen can have "adhesions" which are bundle of fibers that try to repair the surgical incision. They may be connected to your abdominal walls or even gut. So when the abdominal wall moves as in heavy breathing or gut moves as in defecation (poop) it can cause tension and thus, cramps. Need to go back to the surgeon so that he can assess your "cramps" again. Best wishes!

Other Answers:
Call your Doctor, and ask. OR call the local hospital, and ask to speak to a nurse... 9 times out of 10, they can at least tell you if it's something you should See your doctor about....
It could be some complication, or you could have a ruptured appendix. My mom had a hysterectomy after my youngest sister was born, and she was walking around with a ruptured appendix for two days because she thought it was bad stomach problems. It could also be a potassium deficiency, as this is what causes cramps. Eat a banana or other foods rich in potassium, and if it still doesn't get any better, seek immediate medical attention. Since you had surgery not too long ago, it could be something major.
you are lacking some vitamins thats what i was told of cramps calcium maybe. if its really bad i suggest you go and see a doctor
There's definitely a chance that you could have an infection from the procedure...do you have a fever, or any other symptoms? Don't just keep wondering, get to the doctor as soon as you can.
