hysterectomy

Avatar m tn I have pelvic congestion syndrome, and i just meet with a vein specialist today. he told me he could do surgery, but only if i was done having children. i currently only have one child now, but told him i was looking to have another. he told me if i were to get pregnant that my pain would only increase, and could even make things worse. my question is. has anyone who has PCS, been pregnant with it? and if so how much pain were you in?
Avatar n tn I am 50 years old, had a hysterectomy (ovaries/uterus/cervix removed) I have pelvic congestion syndrome pain for a year. I had this dibilitating pain before and after my hysterectomy. Has become much severe that I have to stay laying down all day, I cannot work any longer.
489228 tn?1291531454 I would imagine you would be a good candidate for a hysterectomy, with embolization. My understanding is getting a hysterectomy does not always take care of the pain issues, unless the veins going into the uterus are treated at the same time. What has everyone else heard or experience on this?
Avatar n tn I do not know of anyone that has been as young as you with this problem, but I too have pelvis congestion syndrome. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome can usually be treated by a procedure called “transcatheter pelvic vein embolization.” I am booked to have this surgery in 2 weeks. Embolization involves blocking the blood flow in the problematic vein(s), allowing shrinkage and relief of symptoms.
Avatar f tn I finally had a laparoscopy done and sure enough I have pretty severe endometriosis and pelvic congestion syndrome and my cycle is abnormal, where my uterian wall sheds and instead of coming out it basically stays.... So now what. Well I can either medically shut off my ovaries with depo lepron because my cycle is causing the endometriosis. Or I can have another baby (not happening) or I can have a hysterectomy.
1369218 tn?1282423884 The ultrasound said it could be pelvic congestion. What is this? How do they treat it? I have lower left pain that is dull, but always there. I also have IBS. Could they be related? Could this be something other than pelvic congestion? Who should I see for this?
Avatar f tn Does anyone have experience with pelvic congestion? In january I had surgery to diagnose pelvic congestion syndrome and also had a cysto to check out my bladder. My question is does anyone else have this and what can i do about this constant feeling that i need to urinate?
20639890 tn?1502571974 I am a 25 yr old female who has adenomyosis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, neoplasm, and congested pelvic syndrome. I am awaiting an appointment with a surgeon for a hysterectomy. Anyways, I had to get off my BC pills as i ended up getting a major blood clot in my vein. I'm high risk for pulmonary embolism now and cannot have hormones, other wise I risk being killed. I cannot have an IUD because of my pelvic congestion and adeno. I had sex on Wednesday afternoon.
Avatar f tn This write up indicates you have uterine fibroids, and likely pelvic venous congestion, which is likely the cause of your chronic pelvic pain. Since you had this diagnosis and medical exam done, won't your doctor explain this to you? I'd call for a consult, with the doctor or his representative to discuss their findings. Best wishes. https://www.medstarhealth.
Avatar f tn A study published in 2008 showed that these problems can develop up to at least 8 years after the ablation and increase the risk for hysterectomy (to resolve the pelvic pain). I recall a woman saying that a gynecologist at a renowned east coast institution told her the procedure should not be done on women under age 50. I hope you can get resolution without having to undergo hysterectomy which has its own set of short and long-term problems.
Avatar f tn I also just bought a new book called Heal Pelvic Pain, by Amy Stein, it is more for pelvic floor dysfunction but does help to rebuild the pelvic floor safely... I think the book is a good companion, to use a long with getting a pelvic pain PT! Hope that helps you!
1132657 tn?1260554069 my gall bladder removed, Functional Dyspepsia, IBS, and Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. Finally my GI doc told me to see my GYN for the PCS. He recommended Hysterectomy under suspicion of Endometriosis, WHICH CAN CAUSE NAUSEA!! Needless to say after they removed everthing and found Adenenmyosis, I no longer have any nausea!! Also my uterus was double the size which was compressing on my intestines and colon, the reason for the IBS diagnosis.
Avatar f tn Okay so I have been told that is called PCS (Pelvic Congestion Syndrome) I was also told that they should have fixed it during surgery I hope they did.
Avatar n tn i had a hysterectomy month ago i am having pain in left pevic area with swelling into lower hip
Avatar n tn Had a hysterectomy 7yrs ago. did not remove ovaries or fallopian tubes. Starting to have lots of pelvic pain again. Will I have to have them removed eventually?
Avatar f tn Im 24 and have pelvic congestion syndrome. I have saw 2 different docs who said to just deal with it and take pain meds. I hate taking Pain meds but without them i cant function. The pain gets so sever i get where i dont even want to be here anymore. I have been doing research and i am going to meet with another doc soon but does anyone know how to ease the pain without meds. My lower back is the worst part then it travels to my ovaries...
Avatar f tn HRT cannot make up for what was lost (if ovaries are removed or fail due to the loss of blood flow after hysterectomy) PLUS you have to pay for HRT. Our ovaries never stop producing hormones. Sure, estrogen falls after menopause but the ovaries continue producing quite a bit of testosterone that can be converted into estrogen as our body needs. There are numerous studies that show the long-term harm of ovary removal or post-hysterectomy ovarian failure.
Avatar n tn I have been having pelvic pain for over a week and the physician said that my pain is where my uterus use to be and told me that my body thinks that I am going to have a menstrual cycle and this is causing the discomfort. Please advise.
Avatar m tn She is stating I caused it by giving her Garderella vaginosis and Ureaplasma Uraelyticum. Could these be a reason for getting a complete hysterectomy?
Avatar f tn I Was was told it’s due to pelvic floor dysfunction by one doctor and the interventional radiologist I see said a lot of the sensations are vascular due to the pelvic congestion syndrome. Anyone have any ideas how to combat the symptoms ?
Avatar n tn Fibroids and polyps are almost always benign (~99%) so hysterectomy would be overkill. And hysterectomy causes lifelong harm. I call it the surgery that keeps on giving... problem after problem... even if the ovaries are "preserved." Intercourse or pelvic exams can cause polyps to bleed. And if they aren't removed at the base, they can recur and cause heavy bleeding. What were the reasons for the D&C's - as part of the polyp removal or was your lining too thick?
Avatar f tn Hysterectomy 8 years ago. No cervix. Non smelling brown discharge, sharp pelvic pain. No sexual partners. No pelvic exam after hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn Providing there is nothing wrong with your uterus and ovaries, a hysterectomy is not necessary for Pelvic Organ Prolapse in many instances. I would suggest you see a board certified Urogynecologyist if you are considering surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse and get a second opinion. J.
Avatar m tn I had my hysterectomy with ovaries removed 11 years ago for endometriosis..the endo was not excised as it was not a specialist so my endo continued and it then took me 7 yrs to find a true specialist who believed it could be endo after having all my female parts removed...he went in and sure enough frozen pelvis again...I also thanks to having my organs removed deal with pelvic organ prolapse...sex is very different...
Avatar f tn I know many people that have gone this route that have had success. A hysterectomy is not a cure for Endo so please don't let anyone tell you that as it can still grow back. Most doctors who say what yours did about how bad it was means its possible he is not educated or skilled in Endo surgery. If you let me know where abouts you live I could help you find a good Endo surgeon so if there is a time you would see one you will have the name on hand.
Avatar f tn I would agree Eeyore888 on this one. An pelvic ultrasound is a good place to start. Pelvic congestion could be a possibility due to collateral veins filling with blood and pressing on the bladder. This condition is also known to cause irregular menstrual cycles. Of course I'm not a doctor or a woman but I have had pelvic congestion and it's unlikely that what you have is an STD that is causing your problems.
4144487 tn?1394479548 I have been diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse. I went to the hosp for treatment and was told to do physical therapy and trigger point therapy... Trigger point therapy is where they push hard on your internal vaginal muscles to train them. Or relieve tensed muscles. Ever since they did this to me I have been in chronic terrible debilitating pain. I can barely walk. No one want to give me a hysterectomy but I am stage 2 almost 2.5 prolapse!
Avatar n tn My concern and question is whether or not an ultrasound and pelvic exam can diagnose an ovarian mass which is cancerous or suggestive of cancer, and whether or not a hysterectomy based on an ultrasound finding and a pelvic exam is protocol to either rule in or rule out ovarian cancer, or is something that a person beyond child bearing age could opt for .... she has not had any lapratomy or laprascopy to the best of my knowledge....
