Post TAH and sore/numb bellyFrom: AMS (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 24 Jan 2002 22:46:00 -0600 (CST)
I am 7 weeks post TAH/BSO/burch/rectocele repair, had uneventful recovery. Everything works appropriately except the surface layer of my belly. There is a numb area covering approx. 5 inches above my incision line that is numb. (just pin prick, still have pressure and temp sensation.) I assume this is permanent and the numbness isn't a problem, just weird (like trying to scratch my skin through saran wrap.) But, at the junction between numb skin and normal, it hurts whenever there is any pressure on it, like brushing against the sink while doing dishes or, worse, I tried to use my Nordic track today. It's not the muscle layer or deeper, just the surface jelly belly. I s this likely to be permanent? Also, have appt. to discuss possibly testosterone for low libido (hubby says I am very compliant but calls me his "it" because I seem to have no autonomous interest in sex. Once he mentioned it, I realized I have absolutely no fantasy life (did prior to surgery),takes forever to reach orgasm and I'm not sure I'ld really miss sex if it were gone. Was NOT the case before surgery, though did notice enhanced drive when they tried levlen to control bleeding. Is this indication for testosterone and, if it is what are the side effects vis a vis lipids, blood pressure, clotting etc. I really don't want another pill but I don't like the nickname "Pal" either. Current meds are vivelle dot .05, diclofenac 75, flonase, flovent, maxair and singulair. ANy suggestions? Thank you
