vaginal cuff tore Posted: 05-12-08 15:29pm


I changed to a new OBGYN to rule out cystocele/rectocele because I was still having problems with painful intercourse and constipation. She said things looked fine and ruled both out. I had intercourse 2 wks later and again with awful pain on the right side of my abdomen and bleeding both vaginally and rectally (not very heavy but needed a pad). This pain was the worst so far. Doubled over pain. I phoned the on call MD who suggested 800 mg of Motrin and Gas-x and to phone MD in am. I finally was able to relax and fall asleep about 7 hrs later. My new MD had me go have a internal pelvic ultrasound thinking twisted ovary. This US bought me to tears from the pain and the girl couldn't even find my overy due to so bloated. I saw the MD 2hrs later and she examined me stating that I needed to get to the ER ASAP or I could die. The entire vaginal cuff tore open and my intestines were starting to come threw. I had emergency sx and again out of work 6weeks. I'm greatful that I was seen and have my life but 3 MDs during my surgery said they have never seen anything like this happen 7 mths later. Maybe a week later but not 7 mths. Of course I am finding no ans as to why this happened. She saw me 2 wks prior and saw no problem. Has anyone known of this to happen and why?? Doctors wont turn on other doctors if in fact the 1st surgeon messed up. Please post any suggestions or thoughts. Thanks.

Was this after a hysterectomy? I'm sorry you went through that. I have never heard of this either. I am only 4 1/2 months posthysterectomy. I hope you get an answer. I'm afraid I can't help but I wish you luck!

Yes I had an abdominal hysterectomy with cervix and uterus removed 7 mths ago. I am going to request my medical records from the hospital where the 1st surgery was done and then the records from the 2nd surgery with my new doctor. I need to know why, It's my body and I don't want this to happen again!!! Thanks for your support.
