Hi @amyoonlee Welcome to Mayo Connect.

Some pain and cramping isn’t unusual after a hysterectomy and can last for a couple weeks, But it shouldn’t be not-stop. That has to be really miserable. Why does our plumbing have to be so complicated!?!

There are some potential complications after removing the uterus such minor prolapse of the vagina or bladder. That can cause cramping. Scar tissue from the surgery (adhesions) could cause cramping. A cyst… Any of these would warrant a trip to see your doctor.

If I were you, I’d take my surgeon’s advice and go in for a CT scan. Don’t suffer any longer than you need to. Is there a reason you’re dragging your heels in having this checked out?
