Because my blood pressure was very high during pregnancy, I experienced severe hemorrhage during delivery, which led to a hysterectomy. After the hysterectomy, why does my lower abdomen feel heavy and painful?

After a hysterectomy, aching and distension pain in the lower abdomen is generally caused by post-surgical adhesions, but may also result from bacterial or viral infections. Hysterectomy can increase susceptibility to bacterial infection, leading to increased vaginal discharge and causing the aforementioned symptoms. If patients do not maintain proper personal hygiene after surgery, these symptoms may also occur. Therefore, it's important to engage in appropriate activity and maintain good personal hygiene following hysterectomy surgery.
