Hysterectomy and uterus
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy and uterus
hysterectomy
I have had a tubal and a partial hysterectomy done (both 9 years ago). I was also told at one time I may have a double uterus. Now, my question is, if I DO have a double uterus, could I concieve and carry to term? I ask, because I am having signs of being pregnant and while the brain in me is certain I cannot possibly be pregnant, lol, the heart of me wants the chance again. Sensitivity, swelling of the breast, nausea, and I swear it feels like I am having Braxton Hicks( spelling?) contracts.
Both the uterus and the ovaries respond to signals from the brain, and I think the uterus also responds to signals from the ovaries, but it's not the other way around. Taking the uterus away will not affect the signals from the brain that make cysts in the ovaries.
And endometriosis is the migration of cells that used to be in the uterus, out into the abdominal cavity, where they can hurt and bleed.
It supports the bladder and bowel. Those organs are displaced and no longer have the uterus separating them after hysterectomy. So permanent bladder and bowel problems are common.
Sexual dysfunction after hysterectomy is also common even if the ovaries are not removed. The uterus (which includes the cervix) plays a key role in sexual desire and orgasm.
The uterus is suspended by four sets of ligaments which also serve as the pelvis' support structures.
I had my hysterectomy on August 22 of 2006, I was 36 years old, started having thyroid pains within eighteen months of surgery. Cysts in both breasts within 3 months of my hysterectomy and again a year later. Cysts on ovary, now I've been diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer (papillary) at 38. Could there be a connection between the Hysterectomy and Thyroid Cancer? No major problems before hysterectomy.
) He might just have a mental block that hysterectomy is for older ladies and sees you in some way as less desirable because of that. This one is easy to fix with sexy underwear and a racy attitude. But you need to know why your hysterectomy made such a difference to him. Very rarely, a woman gets a stretched-out vagina after many childbirths and if that is the story, perhaps your ob-gyn can suggest a surgical procedure to tighten the vagina.
ll want you to try a ton of different birth control pills and meds, and estrogen-stopping meds before you get the hysterectomy, because the hysterectomy is permanent, and even at 39, they don't think we can make our own decisions regarding having children or reproductive health.
Get the cysts removed if they don't clear up with your next period, or if they are masses, but remember that the more surgeries you have, the more scar tissue you'll get. (Totally a double-edged sword here.
Hi,
I had ovarian AND uterine cancer, at the same time. Boy, I wish I'd had a hysterectomy younger! If it were me, I'd have my uterus removed in a jiffy. Recovery really isn't bad at all.

Pain and cramps worsening, as well as radiating pain down left leg, that feels like leg is heating up from the inside.

I have a fibroid about the size of a grapefruit on my uterus and at least 2 smaller ones. My doctor was going to try the procedure wherein they go in and cut off the blood supply to the fibroid when she thought it was just one. Now that she has learned through an ultrasound that there are multiple fibroids, she said that procedure is not an option as it would basically cut off the blood supply to the uterus if they did that for each fibroid.
If your uterus and cervix were removed (total hysterectomy) and you did not have cervical cancer then you should not need any more pap smears. Ovary removal (oophorectomy) has nothing to do with it.

He said this kind is different. Worried about having surgery now. I need to have urinary catheter, was wondering how long it needs to stay in?
No you cannot get pregnant after a hysterectomy. You have to have a uterus to carry a baby and a hysterectomy removes the uterus. There are other pricedures that remove just the ovaries that you can get pregnant after but not a hysterectomy.
