I had a hysterectomy just over 2 weeks ago. About every couple days I get this terrible cramping..it feels like an air bubble and slowly works it s way down...it s very painful and makes everything else painful and bloated. It can last for quite a while. Could this still be air from my surgery working its way out? I was in surgery for just over 4 hours because my organs were attached with endometriosis.
The history of cramps and feeling of air moving is suggestive of post-operative adhesion of the intestine. The reasons can be - Surgery itself and Endometriosis. I would advise you::X-ray of the whole abdomen in the standing position to see the air-fluid levels so classical for the intestinal obstruction. And CT scan of the abdomen to find out the cause of it. If the conservative line of treatment does not help to solve the problem, You will require Exploratory Laparoscopy / Laparotomy to find the cause and treat it.
