Both types of uterine positioning for repair yielded similar lengths of hospital stay, risk of infection, and estimated blood loss. Recovery following uterine exteriorization was found to induce more nausea [16] and be more painful, requiring more post-operative analgesia. Return of bowel function was faster with in situ repair. [17]
In cases so severe that abscesses have formed in the ovaries and tubes, it may be necessary to remove the uterus by hysterectomy, and possibly other infected organs as well. After successful treatment of a septic abortion, a woman may be tired for several weeks. In case of substantial bleeding, iron supplementation may be helpful.
The recovery time for an open hysterectomy is 4–6 weeks and sometimes longer due to the need to cut through the abdominal wall. Historically, the biggest problem with this technique was infections, but infection rates are well-controlled and not a major concern in modern medical practice.
Hematometra typically presents as cyclic, cramping pain in the midline of the pelvis or lower abdomen. [1] Patients may also report urinary frequency and urinary retention . [ 2 ] Premenopausal women with hematometra often experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, including dysmenorrhea (pain during menstruation ) or amenorrhea (lack of ...
A uterine septum is a congenital uterine malformation where the uterine cavity is partitioned by a longitudinal septum; the outside of the uterus has a normal typical shape. The wedge-like partition may involve only the superior part of the cavity resulting in an incomplete septum or a subseptate uterus , or less frequently the total length of ...
Signs and symptoms, when present, may include lower abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, fever, burning with urination, pain with sex, bleeding after sex, or irregular menstruation. [1] Untreated PID can result in long-term complications including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, and cancer. [2] [3] [4]
However, the use of a transvaginal mesh in treating vaginal prolapses is associated with side effects including pain, infection, and organ perforation. According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare." A number of class action lawsuits have been filed and settled against several manufacturers of TVM devices.
Though rare, estimates of the prevalence of vaginal cuff dehiscence after hysterectomy are estimated and reported to be between 0.14 and 4.1% per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). [7] If the vaginal cuff is compromised, vaginal evisceration can occur with the small intestine protruding out through the vagina. [3]
