A woman who went through open abdominal hysterectomy will needs to take care while squatting in toilets ,as bending and squatting can put pressure on the wound and cause dehisence,Too much strenuous activity ,bending,sitting down on floor also should be avoided .It is better squat slowly and gently. For a patient who has undergone laaproscopic hysterctomy will not have much trouble on squatting in toilets or on floor. only heavy weights should not be lifted

Use the ‘Brace and Bulge’ bowel emptying technique while sitting on toilet after hysterectomy:
- Lean forward while sitting, and keep your back straightened.
- Rest either your hands or elbows on your knees to provide support to your upper body.
- Flatten your stomach and make noises that end in "OO", the same should give your abdomen a forward bulge (thus relaxing your anal sphincter)
- Wear either toilet paper or a pad in the initial days following hysterectomy
- Never exert too much pressure while trying to empty your bowels as it can render your pelvic floor damaged.
If you recently had this operation, get in touch with your doctor right away. You can call our helpdesk to get in touch with us.
Since this surgery will leave you with a hanging abdomen, thus you can combine it with a tummy tuck surgery as well.

After a hysterectomy, especially initially, be gentle with your movements. Before sitting, ensure you have adequate support, such as handrails or a nearby sink or counter to assist you. Keep your movements slow and controlled.

Consider utilizing a sturdy chair or armrest to assist with the sitting process.
To minimize discomfort, use a cushion or a specialized seat for additional support. Employ a small stool to elevate your feet slightly.

After a hysterectomy, you need to be careful when sitting on the toilet as not to strain your surgical site. Start by walking slowly and carefully toward the toilet, making movements as slow as possible. If you sit down do it slowly, try to keep your back straight and don’t be in a rush or twist yourself. If required, the position can be maintained more comfortably by placing a small stool under your feet. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s specific postoperative instructions so that proper healing occurs and there are no complications.

Abdominal pain with masses on the intestine can happen for the reasons above like a tumor or a growth. In your case, the doctor removed several tumors, which made the operation more complicated. It is important to put your trust in your doctor in such cases to improve your health. It may take time for the recovery to happen, but if you adhere to their post-operative care instructions, you will have the best results.

A hernia is when an organ comes out of a hole in the muscle, making a bump and hurting you. After the surgery, it frequently occurs. The recommendation is to consult your physician without delay. Your doctor might also propose surgery if the hernia is not corrected. Do not lift heavy stuff or strain your belly as it may worsen the hernia during this period.

Why doctors refuse hysterectomy?
Female | 46
In some cases, doctors may refuse hysterectomy due to ethical or moral objections like in sterilization surgeries. Some doctors may also be bound by institutional or legal guidelines that restrict certain surgeries based on age, medical necessity, or other factors.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.
Male | 20
I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

I am an Asthma patient and use an inhaler. I feel pain in my throat because of the inhaler. Is there a possibility of me getting Throat cancer in the future?
Several studies have shown that chronic inflammation in the lungs caused due to asthma may be a factor in causing lung cancer. That means when asthma, is combined with other causes, may increase the risk of lung cancer.
Consult a pulmonologist, who on evaluating the patient will help you to identify the risk factor in your case. Hope our answer helps you.

Hello, I was pricked by a needle in my finger and there was a little bleeding, so will I have to get a tetanus injection or not?
Male | 21
Got pricked by a sharp needle? Bleeding? You might need a tetanus shot. Dirt can harbor bacteria that cause tetanus, which enters through cuts and wounds. Symptoms include stiff muscles and spasms. A tetanus shot can prevent the illness. Consult with a doctor to be safe.

Ive had a ruptured appendix surgery last Sunday. Yesterday, I noticed that my incision produces fluids. I am taking celecoxib, cefuroxine and metronidazole. Is my incision infected?
Female | 19
If you notice any fluids leaking from it, this could mean there’s an infection. Other signs of infection may be redness, warmth, swelling, and pain around the area where the incision was made. Usually infections are caused by bacteria. It’s crucial that you get in touch with your surgeons as soon as possible so that they could adjust your drugs or give you additional treatment if necessary.

A wound not healing and yellow liquid oozing out could mean infection. Bacteria entering cut can cause this. It's a good idea to see a doctor soon. They'll likely prescribe antibiotics to kill germs. You'll also get tips to properly care for wound. Don't ignore it, get it checked promptly.

Get a CECT (Abdomen+Pelvis) with oral , iv and rectal contrast or MRI pelvis for knowing the organic cause if there are recurrent benign polyps and consult the general surgeon with histopathology reports of earlier polyps.
