I am 34 years old and recently had a regular gynecological check-up where the doctor suggested I should worry about getting pregnant due to potential chromosomal problems and other illnesses in children after 35.

I had a hysterectomy approximately 25 years ago, but recently I've been experiencing numbness that has gone away, replaced by tightness, pain, and a feeling of restriction around the incision site, as well as a belly hangover. The pain comes and goes, and I manage it with Tylenol or heat. I'm 53 years old and have occasional constipation but no burning with urination. I drink water regularly but don't take stool softeners. I had an ultrasound a year ago to check for appendicitis. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about them?
