org/female-anatomy/ and read and watch their video on the sad effects of this horrendous and usually unnecessary surgery. Risk of heart attack and stroke and dementia and Parkinson's greatly increases, so a shorter life is something to look forward to as a release from pain. I have become somewhat bitter, and wish all male gynecologists would have their testicles removed, prostates, and half their penises before being allowed to do this castrating surgery on women.

I am unaware of legal right outside of the USA, You should as the patient have the right to request a hysterectomy after you have had a long and informed conversation with your doctor. I understand what its like living with severe pain daily that was ultimatley my decision for a hysterectomy plus my uterus was very enlarged,You may have a ovarian cyst.

mainly to keep the hot flashes somewhat at bay. Recently I have experienced terrible night sweats, worse than ever before, but they seem different than the hot flashes that drive me to get a hormone shot. Is this just symtomatic of regular menopause? After a shot, the hot flashes go away, and the night sweats used to, but now the night sweats stay with me...

I watched a a medical video online, seems recovery may be quicker, but it still freaks me out and I am so worried. I was hoping I could find someone who haa had this type of procedure, and your the first person who has at least some of my symptoms. good luck to you and if anyone has any info to pass on thanks in advance.

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.

I am schedule to have a hysterectomy in a couple weeks, and my concern is will my stomach go back to normal? Will I gain weight? Should I diet during recovery. Can't afford to buy new clothing right now... Will my sex life remain exciting?

Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum. I do believe that The Chiari Insitute has a video on this proceedure and others..... I have not watched it as I am the type that does not want to see that until after and maybe not even then...I have a sensitive stomach.....

The insurance would pay for this type of termination of pregnancy. It is considered medically necessary for her to have her hysterectomy. Why can't she just call the GYN and talk to the nurse and see what kind of an issue/problem this presents for the hysterectomy? They usually don't charge to talk to you on the phone. Plus since it's her choice to terminate the pregnancy. I'd ask about just going on with the hysterectomy.

You can post a link to a Youtube video. But we do not have our own video hosting ability. Hope that helps!

what cause vaginal bleeding,and odor after having a total hysterectomy?

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.

I have GAD and panic disorder and am getting ready to have a vaginal hysterectomy. My obgyn suggested taking my uterus,cervix and left tube and ovary. At first I thought I wanted him to take the right side as well but I'm just not sure. I am scared with having the anxiety problem anyway that it will throw me way out of wack. If I leave the right ovary will it help regulate my hormones or will I still need HRT.

Take your time and research. You cannot undo a hysterectomy. There are a lot of posts on this web site from women who have gone through a hyster. Check them out.

, but now I have a larger cystocele. I believe the dr. would to the davinci method and give me a complete hysterectomy and use mesh to attach it to the pelvic bone. Is it better to wait or better to do it sooner than later.

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.

There are a lot of books written by women who are suffering the after effects of hysterectomy and did not get informed consent. And there are entire websites for post-hysterectomy support. There are also some good books about the overuse of hysterectomy by some physicians. A couple that come to mind are "A Gynecologist's Second Opinion" by Dr. William Parker and "The Hysterectomy Hoax" by Dr. Stanley West.

is very scary , it is one area in medicine where the advances have been astronomical, Let me clarify what a laproscopic surgery is for you, its as above says you have usually 4 prongs inserted into the 1 inch diagonal incisions ( or a bit less than an inch) the prongs are long metal tubes one is to insert the laproscope to view your internal organs, the three others fill your belly with gas, like a big ballon so the surgeon can insert instruments in through the tubes and while viewing ona scree

I am 43 and had a full hysterectomy 6 weeks ago but prior to that was having menopause symptoms. I went on the Vivelle hormone replacement patch the day of surgery and everything went away. Even all my menopausal symptoms prior to my surgery. I don't have any issues at all.

I've read several posts indicating that pvc's tend to calm down after menopause. I am 44 years old and have had PVC's for close to 20 years. Now that I am peri-menopausal my number of daily pvc's has increased from 50 to 100 per day to 2,000 to 5,000 per day. I just found out that I have stage 4 endometriosis requiring a hysterectomy. I will be instantly thrown into menopause. Will my pvc's end? I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Hello, A total abdominal hysterectomy removes your uterus through an incision in your lower abdomen and it also removes the cervix. Sometimes a hysterectomy includes removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes, a procedure called total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy. Abdominal hysterectomy usually requires a hospital stay of one to two days, but it could be longer.

In my opinion, your worries are not unfounded. I have heard similar stories from other women (or their husbands/partners) after hysterectomy. It really messes with our hormones. I lost my loving feelings for my husband after my (unwarranted) hysterectomy. I don't even have the strong maternal feelings for my children. It makes me very sad and I held onto a lot of anger for a long time (I am still angry with my former gynecologist/surgeon).

Only way to get pregnant after partial hysterectomy is the cervix wasn’t closed completely and a microscopic opening is there, or tubes wasn’t separated and closed in the stump. It’s so rare for this to happen. Better chance at winning the lottery.

s any connection between the breast calcification and fibroids. Hysterectomy is a very destructive surgery and you don't need one for fibroids since fibroids are benign. Fibroids shrink after menopause and of course bleeding does too. Hysterectomy trades this temporary problem for a whole new set of permanent problems. You can eat foods high in iron or take iron supplements to increase your iron levels. Taking iron with vitamin C will enhance absorption.

Yes...regardless ..they take everything out anyway your uterus, ovaries and cervix UNLESS yours is not a radical hysterectomy just partial that's different story. Sunes.

Has anyone has a hysterectomy and a tummytuck together? I have an enlarged uterus and a fibroid, but my stomach is a mess after having 3 c sections. I have a huge vertical painful scar and a extremely poochy belly. I always had a great tummy and now it's just a fatty blob, stomach muscles stretched etc,, I havent talked to anyone yet about having both procedures, justr wanted to some opinions of others who have done it or thought about it.

WOW! I am almost 49 years old with four grown children and six grandchildren.... I made a commitment to myself and my significant other during the first of the year that I was going to quit smoking and be healthier at 50 than I was at 40. Today, June 2, 2008, I got the news that I have to have a hysterectomy because of severe complication casused by fibroid tumors.
