Is it normal to experience abdominal pain after having a D+C 6 months ago? This happens instead of a period.?

You should have restarted having your periods by now and should not have pain instead of having a period.  Please see your doctor to get tested to determine what the cause may be.

I just had an abdominal myomectomy in Aug for a fibroid that was 1cm in diameter then grew to almost 6cm within two months!  I felt worn out!  I did not have excessive bleeding like most women though.  I didn't have a period at all unless it was induced by hormones since I was trying to get pregnant, then the pain was so excruciating.  I laid on the bathroom floor one night and cried and threw up several times from the pain.  I had horrible bloating as well.  Things have been back to normal since I had the myomectomy though.  Every woman is different.  My mom had several fibroids and she bled constantly, but had no pain with it.  Then my grandmother didn't even notice hers which was the size of a grapefruit when they finally removed it.  It all depends on the woman and the location and size of the fibroid.

>>>>>>why do some people have pain in stomach during \n>>>>>> mensuration?\n\nThat's pretty complicated to answer, but there are two broad reasons. The first is that menstruation itself is the result of the surface of the uterus pealing off. Not surprisingly that is painful for many women.\n\nThe second is that hormonal changes prior to and during menstruation affect the smooth muscle of not just the uterus but the entire digestive tract and the circulatory system. That leads to spasms or 'cramping' of the uterus as well as of the stomach and gut generally.\n\nBTW if a woman has sever pain during and especially following menstruation a visit to the doctor is recommended.\n\n>>>>is that anything to do with vagina hole size?\n\nNope, totally unrelated.

It sounds like middleschmirtz. You can look it up on the web (yea, that is really the name). It is painful ovulation. Starts about two weeks or so after your last period began. It can cause mild to severe cramping feeling and lower back pain. (You would think we suffer enoung with the rest of the whole female cycle! Geesh!)\n\nLook in to it. That may be what is going on. \nAnother that I can think of is ovarian cysts. That can cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort too.\n\nEither way, if it continues, probably would be a good idea to see your OBGYN

I am a RN who has  taught Nursing for over 20 years.  I have also had a Laparoscopy and D&C performed when I was in my 30's.  Of course everyone responds to surgeries differently but it seems to me that I had one week vacation following that surgery.  I also went back to work 10 days after abdominal surgery for a small bowel resection because I was needed back at work but didn't lift anything of considerable weight.  I would think that if your husband is able to take one week off from work to help out at home with the kids that that should be sufficient.  Just don't try to lift the kids and explain to them that you have a tummy ache which they should understand.  I'm sure they will be glad to assist you.  As for pain this is also very individual.  I was given pain medication by my physician and found that this covered my pain pretty well.  Since the incisions for a laparoscopy are so small they didn't hurt at all.  The gas was somewhat uncomfortable but warm baths seemed to help until it was resorbed by my body.  The pain medication helped the crampy feeling from the D&C and I was on my feet much of each day.  How fortunate you are to have a husband to help you out.  I'm pretty sure that you will be feeling your usual self again in 7-10 days.  Good luck to you and God bless.

If you are male it is most likely your appendix. Please get it checked out. If it ruptures it could be fatal. \n\nIf you are female it can also be the appendix or it could just be ovulation. Some women can feel it when the cyst that holds the eggs ruptures. It can hurt for about 24 hours.\n\nAnd for the record your gall bladder isn't by your waist it is up just to the right of your stomach under the bottom of your rib cage. And it will feel like a stomach ache or like a heart attack. I learned that one frome experience.

Hello! A D&C is short for dilatation and curretage. What they do is insert metal probes into your cervix to dilate it and then once the cervix is open they curretage (or scrape out) the contents of your uterus. (Usually used when a fetus has not been expelled or to treat excessive or prolonged uterine bleeding)Here is what you can expect during your stay:\nPrior to surgery: \n1-Shower and possible enema\n2-surgical consent form\n3-cleansing of abdominal and perineal area, possible shaving of the perineal area\n4-You will probabably not be able to eat from midnight on the night before your surgery. \n5- You may have an IV started.\nAfter Surgery-\nYou will have bleeding and discomfort. Pain varies on how extensive your D&C was as well as your personal tolerance for pain. Most women do not experience severe pain.\n1-Use perinal pads (NOT TAMPONS) for two weeks. This prevents infection and allows tissues to heal.Also do not take baths until bleeding has stopped.\n2-Avoid sexual intercourse until post-op check-up is complete and doctor has cleared sexual activity.\n3- Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.\n4- You will bleed and may experience pain that feels like an intensified menstrual cramp.\n5- You may be tired for a few days. Take it easy and relax.\n6- You can use a pillow to splint your abdomen so you can cough and experience less pain.\n7- After surgery you will most likely be on a clear liquid diet and will gradually move to a regular diet. \n8- Your next menstrual cycle may be delayed and start later than usual.\nWithout being aware of what exactly they are performing a biopsy on I can only guess that it is a uterine growth of sorts. Many things can cause uterine growths. Biopsy results may take a long time to get back. I hope things work out for you and please feel free to e-mail me with any questions. Good luck! -Nykki

StudentMD and Lana gave a pretty good explanation and description. Pain from appendicitis is due to the appendix becoming obstructed and distended.\n\nNausea, vomiting, no desire to eat, vague pain around your belly button, and subsequent migration of sharp pain to the right lower abdomen (this can vary according to certain factors such as pregnancy), fever. If not appendicitis these symptoms can be many other rather serious conditions.\n\nIf you even suspect that there is something wrong with your appendix, go to the emergency dept. DON'T WASTE TIME WONDERING.\n\nI want to add one thing, if your appendix actually burst, you may actually feel LESS pain for a short time, because like I mentioned above the pain is due to distension. THIS IS NOT A SIGN THAT THINGS HAVE GOTTEN BETTER, BUT WORSE. Ruptured appendix can be life threatening. Don't guess, just get seen. I hope you are already on your way to the ER.

There are several things it could be. Appendicitis is one of them. One quick test for that is to have someone press their hand (keeping it fairly flat) over the lower portion of your abdomen and press firmly. Does that increase your pain? Then have them release the pressure suddenly. Does that increase your pain? If the later causes your pain to increase, then, most likely, it is your appendix. That means you need to get into a doctor like NOW!!! you know STAT!!! If your appendix ruptures, the pain goes away and the problem has just increased 100% because you now have to deal with internal infection.\n\nHave you had any nausea/vomiting/constipation/diarrhea in the past 2-3 days days? any fever? How much fluid have you been consuming? Have you been peeing? \n\nThose are all questions that need to be answered. You could be looking at problems with your ovaries, bladder infection, kidney infections, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), the flu, intestinal flu, and so on. My recommendation is to talk with your health-care provider and follow their recommendation.

I think its perfectly normal, your body is adjusting to another form of contraception(artificial hormones) so there will be periods of uncomfortable lower pains in the pelvic region.\n\nThat said, it might be worth popping along to your gp to get it checked, it could be all matter of things and any infection should be ruled out.

I'm not sure about the bleeding, but the pain could be due to ovulation.  I have had painful ovulation many times.  sometimes it's so extreme that it was at one time taken for appendicitis.  I was told that sometimes an egg bursts and causes a lot of pain, right about mid-cycle.  Tell a gynecologist about it.

Yes, I had one at age 6.  As stated, there becomes a tear in the wall of your stomach and the intestine pushes out.  It is also called a rupture and can be very painful.  It can affect your urination and bowel movements.  It can be made worse by heavy lifting, etc.  My mom has had one for years, but won't do anything about it till she gets laid up.  She is 65.  So it isn't the most serious problem you can have.

After you had the abortion, did you start an oral contraceptive that may be causing these symptoms?  I think if there was tissue still in your uterus, you would be bleeding more heavilly & for a longer amount of time; the cramping would also be getting worse.  Have you seen a doctor since the abortion?

Ok, well, you're seriously constipated dude!\n\nIf you have any kind of abdominal pain, you should see a doctor right away.\n\nBut if you are NOT experiencing any pain, then do the following:\n\nGo to your drugstore and buy a product called 'Senokot'.  They are very safe tablets that work wonders without any painful cramps.  \n\nTake them as instructed on the package and you should see some 'movement' overnight. However, if the next day (over 12 hours or so), nothing happens, go see a doctor right away as it may be a serious problem.\n\nGood luck!
