I would like to know if, after having a vaginal hysterectomy for a prolapsed uterus, you could get a redundant sigmoid colon. What is it?
No. A hysterectomy does not cause a redundant sigmoid colon. If you have one, many women do, it was there prior to the hysterectomy. Perhaps are you referring to a rectocele or enterocele or rectal prolapse? These are sometimes present in patients who have had a prolapsed uterus in the past. This condition is when the rectal wall toward the vaginal canal protrudes into the vagina. Defecation is often relieved by digital pressure to the posterior vaginal wall. Could this be what you mean by redundant sigmoid colon? I have a rectocele but the redundant sigmoid colon was evident on the defecography and the doctor told me the only way to repair it is to do abdominal surgery because he would also need to remove part of the sigmoid colon during the surgery. I don’t know if it is called an enterocele or not. I will have to ask him at my next visit. He told me to try Konsyl every day and see how that works for me. I think that I had these defects in the pelvic floor when my hysterectomy was do
