[|Human|] I am 4 weeks into my recovery from a hysterectomy. I had everything taken except for one ovary. I started having a yellowish-brownish discharge about 1 week ago and it has a slight odor. From the beginning, my left side hurt the most because that s the side they removed the ovary from. I was feeling pretty good but woke up this morning with left side hurting again and lower back pain. Are these normal for 4 weeks in or is infection a possiblity?
[|AI|]  Dear patient Back pain after pregnancy may be there for few weeks after hysterectomy if spinal anesthesia is given. This pain usually subsides within month. Since you are having discharge with bad odor and back pain infection is more likely possibility. This needs to be investigated, and I would advise ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis to OK for fluid collection in peritoneum. You need to consult expert gynecologist with report. Meanwhile, start tab ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day and tab metronidazole 400 mg thrice a day for 7 days. All the best.
