Bowel problems after hystohectomy

Hi, I've had a hystohectomy 3 months ago today.  Everything seems to be going ok but I have a problem with constipation and when I try to go it feels like it is trying to come out though the side of my vagina.  I also feel it in the perineum.  I can atually push on it inside of my vagina, and it feels like its kinked there and trying to get out.  Can you tell me if this is normal or is it a problem after hystohectomy.

when you have a hysterectomy the whole make up of your abdomen gets moved around. there is no uterus there to block the intestine from getting very close to your vagina. it sounds like the bowels have readjusted themselves in a funky way.

You should get in to see your Gynecologist. No, you should'nt be having these problems after 3 months. Constipation is very common the first couple of weeks after the surgery, but not this long.  Make that appointment to find out what's going on.
