13 Years After My Hysterectomy I Am Now Getting Infections Posted: 07-16-07 23:56pm
I am conserned that after 13 years after
my hysterectomy and only having one bed
partner that they are now treating my for
kidney infection, and yeast infection. I
have not had any of these types of
infections since my hysterectomy why now?
Are these types of infections normal for
people that have had hysterectomy?

Hi LR, if you are getting repeated
infections it could be a sign of a weak
pelvic floor, if your kegel or pc muscles
are not strong they let in bacteria. Get a
good pelvic floor exerciser for your
kegels this will help to keep your pelvic
health good, especially after your
hysterectomy. Try washing, but not
douching with Biofem Actigel, it does
prevent further outbreaks of thrush, if
you use a sexual lubricant or vaginal
lubricant, make sure you use a waterbased
on that is body friendly, I have used Eden
Silk for several years now and have had no
further problems. I really do think though
if you can start a programme of kegels
then the muscles in the pelvic floor will
get stronger to support everything as it
should and will keep germs out. The
improved blood flow to these muscles also
brings oxygen and nutrients making the
muscles healthier too, so you really
should benefit from it.
