It all started with a simple cystitis (which then turned into a urinary infection). My gynecologist, Dr. Claudio Santangelo, (known through a rapid and anonymous intramoenia visit to the Cardarelli Hospital) after a routine investigation and a hysteroscopy said that surely it was the uterus that caused the stagnation of the residual urine resulting to the infections that I was now of a running form, and he advised me to have a total hysterectomy. They operated on me in January and I had the most terrible experience of my life: five hours of surgery with a simple epidural; without appropriate painkillers although repeatedly requested due to the excruciating pain; with a cystitis that had exploded due to the early withdrawal of the catheter. After the three days of hospitalization I left that madhouse. After five or six days of hospital discharge, the wound began to bleed and I turned again to Dr. Santangelo who proposed to admit me again to make another suture, contradicting myself several times, whether or not I had to be the next day fasting for an imminent intervention. But during these three days of hospitalization, Dr. Santangelo did not approach me at all to do any checks and if it had not been for my husband who started to press, I was still there. During those three days there were only the occasional visits of the nurses to disinfect and change the dressing. Not an analysis, not an antibiotic cure, with the obvious consequence of the appearance of a post-operative infection.
My gynecologist, Doctor Claudio Santangelo, was unaware of the existence of electronic monitoring capable of closing the wounds of the pelvic floor, (black gauze) which I find very serious. After three months of various treatments to be able to close the wound (to which I must especially thank the doctor Vincenzo Iovino who came so carefully to my house for more than a month) in April she finally healed. Twenty days ago, however, those pains of the beginning still appeared, on the lower part of the abdomen. I had to go to a real specialist (not on Cardarelli hospital and not on Dr. Claudio Santangelo) who was able to tell me that I had a urinary infection for a year instead, due to the fact that before and after the surgery, nobody did me a urine test to check my true condition. Now I am being treated with vials to be able to break down the infection, with a displaced and dilated bladder and with a future ray-based treatment to recompose all the damage.
