I started taking iron right after my cystectomy & now I’m worried about my stool being black.
I’m not vomiting, nauseated, or anything like that. I’m also not in any pain. Just scared now that my stool is black. It’s normal too, not tarry that I can see.
Should I go to the hospital to be safe?
Hi all :)
So excited to have surgery on Tuesday!! I hope my doctor can get everything out. If not, I’ll have to have a more invasive surgery hopefully later this year with a specialist and the robot.
I have endometriosis (diagnosed in 2022, first noticed in the rectum) & a 7cm endometrioma (or 2 cysts right next to each other looking like 1 giant one on my right ovary) & am now having a hysterectomy to hopefully help my pain. If she can’t get the cyst(s) off, the ovary is coming with her. Fine by me!
Anyways, any tips on recovery? Things I can buy? Not do & do? Certain foods or drinks (non-alcoholic) help?
Thanks all :)
