hysterectomy

Avatar f tn However once the healing takes place, everything should be ok. Cervical dilatation should help keep open the cervix to drain the secretions and menstrual blood. The chance of such women needing a hysterectomy is very less. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck.
Avatar f tn I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy soon. The doctor wants to take my ovaries. My mom and both of her sisters have had hysterectomy's. My mother and 1 aunt had early onset of Alzheimers. both took premarin. I have read and studied that HRT's like premarin have a high risk of dementia and heart disease? since my dad had heart disease and most of his siblings and family have had heart problems I am worried. I have Endometrosis and also prolapsed Uteris.
Avatar m tn I was referring to the pathology reports from the colposcopy (removal of cervical tissue) prior to your hysterectomy and the one from the removal of your uterus and cervix (hysterectomy).
Avatar f tn A dr at a clinic gave me a pap test and told me that my cervix is bloody. I am 60 and have not had a period or any bleeding whatsoever in 8 years. What would cause this ? I'm waiting for reports to come back and it's driving me crazy. Will I need a hysterectomy ?
Avatar f tn My doctor tried to do a hysteroscopy and D&C on me (in hospital, general anesthesia) and said cervix is completely scarred shut. 3 weeks until my follow up. We still don't know what is the "area of concern" in my uterus. She mentioned we'll talk hysterectomy next. I'm 46. Do I have options? Trans vag US showed this area, unsuccessful Saline Ultrasound - the wall is up apparently. I do not want to play roulette. If doc thinks it is cancer, I want it out.

1896954 tn?1323468296 Cancer does not develop unless you do not take care of your precancerous lesions for 5-10 years or more. So make sure you keep up with your paps. Hysterectomy is the very very last resort thing to do. This is when you are in the stages of the actual cancer. Have you heard of the LEEP procedure? Try looking into that. However, keep up with your gyno and make sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing and are caring. You will be fine.
Avatar f tn I have had to have a partial Hysterectomy and i was able to keep my cervix and 1 ovary. It has been since 1992 that i had this done. Tonight I noticed that I was having a period just as I use to have before my surgery. I'm scared, it's been a very long time ago and I thought that the surgery had taken care of that. and I thought I would not do this anymore. What could be wrong with me??
Avatar m tn The hysterectomy you are going to have is a sub-total hysterectomy if the cervix is left behind. A lot of women prefer to keep their cervix as they believe it helps in achieving sexual satisfaction although this is open to debate with many doctors saying it has no effect. This type of hysterectomy is easier to perform with quicker recovery as less tissue is being removed. If your cervix is left behind you will still need to have pap smears.
Avatar f tn When we try it is so painful, my cervix is so tight and has never failed me before. I had a hysterectomy, and my ovaries were also removed. someone please tell me what to do, what could it be?
Avatar f tn Hello, Did you have your cervix removed at the time of your hysterectomy. If not, it may be remnant endometrial tissue at the upper portion of the cervix/lower uterine segment. If the cervix was removed it is bleeing from the vaginal cuff. Either way, you should see your surgeon to be examined. Best regards, Dr.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I had a hysterectomy Dec.2010 due to fibroids and heavy bleeding. I am 48 years old and sadly, didn't research things as much as I should have. Due to the economy, my husband had to take a job out of state and I work full-time and also raise my developmentally disabled adult daughter. I was afraid of having another bad bleeding "incident" and was extremely anemic.
Avatar f tn I'm due for a hysterectomy next weds, mainly due to the fact I have high grade pre-cancerous cells in my cervix for the third time. I still don't know if I should keep my remining ovary or not. I lost the left one In april after a football sized mucinous ovarian cyst ruptured. I had no idea I had a cyst at all, the symptoms were digused by the fact I was pregnant but lost the baby 3 days before at 23 weeks. I had a lapratomy and was staged as 1a borderline or LMP tumor.
Avatar n tn I had a hysterectomy where my uterus cervix and tubes were removed it has been 2 weeks and I am bleeding more than a period and I am having bad cramps is it normal what should i do should I be concerned
894186 tn?1241478177 I had a vaginal hysterectomy (took my cervix and uterus, left both ovaries) two years ago. It did not kill my sex life. I will say that Astroglide is my new best friend, b/c lubrication is definately lacking but our sex life is just fine!
10905170 tn?1414131788 I didn't have endo just a huge mass of a fibroid with many smaller ones inside of the mass. Everything benign, thank heaven. I had a full abdominal hysterectomy. It is all gone except for a small piece of my cervix. That's why I don't understand why I feel anything like period symptoms. I take Premarin. Would that have an effect?
1800740 tn?1324237171 I had a brownish discharge from my vagina. I had a partial hysterectomy 11 years ago because I had large fibroid tumors. My ovaries and cervix were left. I just went to family physician and after a vaginal exam she said she has never seen a hysterectomy like mine. I t looks different (whatever that means) .I have to wait on the results of my pap smear and then I'm going back to surgeon that did my hysterectomy. Do you have a clue what might be wrong? I know it might be ovarian cancer.
Avatar m tn I was under the impression that if you had a hysterectomy that you did not have your uterus. When I had my hysterectomy done, the dr took the works. I'm talking about everything, the fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, uterus. Not that I miss any of them. I don't have periods, which means no pms! WooHoo!
721523 tn?1331581802 t be surprised if your Dr refuses to leave your cervix. You will still have to get paps but with your cervix gone there won't be any cervical cancer. I'm hoping our CL Cherrie will jump in here and give you a definite answer. She knows everything there is to know about hysterectomies.
Avatar n tn Generally speaking when someone says they had a hysterectomy, it means they had everything out - uterus, cervix, ovaries and tubes. That's not the technical definition but that's the general term used since it's easier than saying salpingo-oophorectomy. You should ask your doctor what all was removed during the surgery. If all the parts were removed, then you won't be getting ovarian cancer.
1809377 tn?1316520328 she scheduled a partial total laparoscopic hysterectomy. She will only keep ovaries unless they are diseased, one due to my age (34), and bcuz I have a family history of both heart & osteoporosis, so why take any risks. She will be removing the tubes, along with the uterus & cervix because she wants to prevent issues in the future with endometrial cells causing issues in the futures & I have past problems w/ annormal paps. Surgery is scheduled for 10/5.
