I had a prolapse, often referred to as an elongated cervix as I did not have weak pelvic floor muscles and am able to perform pelvic floor exercises straight after surgery



You didn’t state if you ever have had such bowel symptoms before the hysterectomy or if they occurred for the first time after the surgery.


If you have had them for a long time you probably have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which is a practically incurable life-long functional disorder.


If you got these symptoms for the first time after the surgery, they could be due to the anesthesia. If so, your symptoms should vanish spontaneously in less than 12 weeks.
