I recently had a total hysterectomy. Afterwards, I had the same problem. I suffered for several weeks, not to be gross but it was like $#^ing a brick! A friend told me to start taking stool softeners. So I did and now I go regularly and it doesn't hurt! Just go to the drug store and get the store brand, (cheaper) and take a couple a day for a few days. (100 Mgs) It usually takes about 3 days to work, then take one every 3 to 4 days just to keep yourself regular. I hate to be dependent on anything like that, but hey, it beats the heck out of that misery. Good luck!
