Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy nursing interventions

hysterectomy

Now that she has gone through breast cancer should she consider a total hysterectomy? She has never had an abdormal PAP. Our concern and desire is not to have to worry about any cancer in the ovaries or uterus. Please advise, Thank you, devoted son.

Can anyone tell me what symptoms you had before it was discovered you had adhesions after hysterectomy?I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and now it is 7 months and for the 3-4 months I felt slight pain on my right side and was told by my 2 doctors that this are the healing pains after the surgery. Now I was told that I am healed and these are adhesions or cancer coming back. Going for MRI in two weeks.Will se. I bet my colon is stuck to my voult and that why it hurts. Any comments. PLEASE.

Partial hysterectomy: In a partial hysterectomy, the uterus is surgically removed but the cervix is left in place. Also called a subtotal hysterectomy. That is the definition of a partial, so if your uterus is not there how do you get pregnant? What exactly was removed? Noone can help without more info.

Does your doctor have a nurse or nurse practitioner that you can talk with? I know that my nurse knows everything and gives my patients alot of comfort by listening and being able to answer most questions. As far as therapy, if you have a tumor that can be surgically removed, that is the best first intervention. Chemo is always important but chemo works better on smaller spots. The chemo you have received is very standard and good.

Yes, I spoke too soon. When I reported all was well with my CT Scan, it was based on the nurse's conversation with my husband. My ONC called this morning with the real news. The hematoma that is located somewhere around my FORMER cervix is growing. They want to go in and make sure it is benign. He wants me to come to his office as soon as he can get me in to do a vaginal examination to see if he can feel it.

I am also nervous about the hysterectomy now, I went to that hystersister website and there is soooo much there it's kind of scary. I guess I will have to wait and see with the doc says, he told me he would determine if I can keep my left ovary after he got the results of the U/S. Thanks for listening and for all your support, you are all wonderful women and I am so glad I found this forum, it really helps.

After 2 ½ years of problems ( mainly shortness of breath on exertion) and after many interventions and tests which were all negative, including two left and right cardiac caths, I was referred to Emory University Hospital interventional cardiology. I underwent another cath as a way of a diagnosis by exclusion. They were pretty confident of the diagnosis they were to confirm.

15am, the anesthesia was administered. I do not remember anything until I heard the nurses say I was staying overnight, rather than going home. That was 10:15am. As it was only a diagnostic laparoscopy, I was supposed to go home, but during the procedure, they hit my bowel and a blood vessel burst, so my bowel got bruised. They decided to keep me overnight for observation to make sure it didn't get worse. I was also refused food and water, but kept on an IV of Lactated Ringer.

I was hoping that I would be prescribed a new lens today but the news of the ERM shook me so much that I forgot to mention it. I am an ER nurse who is a semester away from graduating with an FNP degree. I recently finished battling a profound iron deficiency anemia and am scheduled for a hysterectomy on Dec 17. My ophthalmologist emphasized that I should wait until after the surgery to proceed with the EMR intervention.

When this new diagnosis was made, based on a CT scan which unusually showed the blood backed up in the left ovary, then I was sent sent to a GYN specialist, and a Pelvic Pain Physical therapist, all confirmed the PCS diagnosis, I was shocked at the last of information or support I could find on this condition! The GYN here just wanted to do a hysterectomy but the specialist suggested this may or may not solve the problem.

Even watching the show Intervention or reading the posts has helped me a great deal. Thank you all again and I wish each and everyone of you my best.

There is little to be lost and much to be potentially gained by increasing awareness of ovarian cancer symptoms that might lead to early medical evaluation and intervention. Although population screening with CA125 and ultrasound has the potential to lead to many false-positive results, their use in the evaluation of a symptomatic woman represents appropriate medical care." Concurred Goff, "Ultrasound is pretty important when you're doing the initial workup.

once many years ago for a breast augmentation (young and stupid) and I had a vaginal hysterectomy. The pain upon waking up was the worst thing in life. I was scared of THAT feeling. Well my TT surgery was at 10am, I woke up in a room at about 1:30ish and I felt no pain at all except when I swallowed, like having tonsilitis. I really do think the worst part for me was the lingering nausea from the anesthesia, I'm very sensitive to it and I knew it would be an issue for me. But pain? No.

come,is it due to excess or insufficient calcium,since I had a hysterectomy 4 yrs back ? Does this problem come for all flatfeet people ? Please explain.Thank You.

It takes a womans natural pain relief away and also inhibits the baby. Not always will there be a problem but it is an intervention. OB s and nurses are not taugt ways to help with pain relief as they can not stay with the mom. Midwifes and doulas are trained. Midwifes used to deliver all babies until medical dr's came into the picture, then more woman in higher class society went to the dr's while others still had midwifes. Midwifes still had the lower feath rates and complications then dr's.

Or do you think we should concentrate our efforts on non-pharmaceutical interventions? Would you take an obesity drug if it were safe, effective, and available? I’d love to hear what you think!

C and a uteran biopsy without pain meds I was offered 2 advil afterwards and the nurse got those from her purse. I did not take them but they had someone in the room to hold my hands so I could not get up. You would think if they knew to have someone there that they should give something for pain. I too cried on the way home. I go for a hysterectomy on Monday the 28th at UVA medical center. Hope that goes better.

A Clinical Research Study Chemotherapy-induced menopause was the subject of a clinical research study at the Cancer Center at GBMC and the results were published in Cancer Investigation, 19(6), 641-648 (2001). The study was led by Barbara Poniatowski, MS, RN, C, AORN, clinical nurse specialist and Gary Cohen, MD, Medical Director, Cancer Center, with additional help from Patricia Grimm, MD. A summary of that article follows.

as terrifying as it was at the time, it must be even more horrifying to think of it in retrospect, realizing that you were both dying, even though you probably didn't know that until afterwards. why are nurses so freaking dismissive!?!? my sister's labor nurse was really horrible to her. ironically, THAT is one of the reasons i am leaning towards home birth-- so that i won't be mistreated by some nasty nurse or doctor who happens to be in a crappy mood or hates their job.

For those who work and suffer with the condition,if infact the condition does hinder your work,Hidradenitis is a listed illness that disability will cover.For the lady who had the hysterectomy and wanted to know if H.S. is linked to hormones in any way.In my experience,i personally think it does because i have polycystic ovarian syndrome,i also have what they call metabolic disorder.

He really is an awesome nurse, and has had to look after me through 3 surgeries, and done a fantastic job. I think its more he just got a promotion, and loves his job, as I do, but we both know, it NEVER is convenient to have an operation. Maybe I just went into my hernia surgery thinking it would be a breeze after only 12 months since hysterectomy, so it kind of caught me off guard. Had the attitude it wasn't going to be as hard, so hopefully I'll be more prepared this time.

He advised complete hysterectomy for cure of endo and indicated the endometrioma (endo in ovary) will not go away on it's own, but does not turn into cancer. Gyn-Onc did surgery and determined mine was borderline tumor or low-grade cancer/pre-cancer along with endometriosis. So my point it they cannot determine if it is an endometrioma before surgery and pathology. If the endometrioma is causing pain etc., it probabaly needs to be removed.

However, given that this requires another form of intervention and you do require immediate yet long term recovery from the incontinence waiting for a second opinion will be beneficial. Having the sling excised at this point may be immediate and less invasive. I would opt for a similar procedure. However, it will be comforting and assuring to know that you are actually doing the right thing. Other urologists' opinions will matter at this point.

This takes longer to lose large amounts of weight than surgery, but it is easier on your body. Yet it is just a temporary medical intervention that when you are through, you can eat normal amounts of calories and don't have to keep on the injections.

Within a six year period, she ended up having to have a full hysterectomy. Had she not had us when she did (even though she had sometimes wondered why she didn't wait a few years) she wouldn't have been able to have kids at all. It was almost as if it were MEANT for her to have us early. So, ultimately, it's your decision. Sounds like you already made your mind up...you're just looking for some approval. It's not up to your mom. She'll get over it as soon as she sees her grandchild, I'm sure!

I definitely believe in pain medications, as I have been on many over the last ten years for my hysterectomy, disk fracture, ACL tear, gallbladder removal, etc... it just concerns me when an individual types up that they just want pain meds instead of trying to get physical therapy, epideral injections (which take away an enormous amount of the pain that your experiencing and then wouldn't need as strong of narcotics) if you are interested in really taking away the pain of the disk.

I was placed in the room by a nurse who had me sign my permits and get ready. When the doctor came in, whe had a brief discussion and I told him that my greatest fear was that of the injection to deaden the cervix. He assured me he would be as gentle as possible. As all of you who have had LEEP are aware ---they must basically go through the same prep as for the colposcopy in painting and preparing the cervix.

Your uterus can rupture, and if it does they need to perform a hysterectomy, in addition to other life saving measures (you would be bleeding out if you ruptured). I am a maternity nurse and when we hear about a rupture after a VBAC attempt we all pray for the family. I think the previous post was correct, after two C-sections I don't think a doctor would do a VBAC. But look at the bright side...you will be so much safer having another section, and your other little ones need you around :).

The first time I was traveling in China with a large tour group (no ill effects, my travel partner let me sleep it off and the next day I was fine) (the hotel doctor spoke no English). The second time I was visiting my father in a nursing home in Calif. I was taken by ambulance to hospital kept for three days and given many tests(MRI,CAT,spinal tap). No neurelogical problems were discovered.The DMV would not allow me to drive for a year unless I was taking a drug for epilepsy.

I'm not meaning to be disrespectful, as I can tell how many women obviously use this site for much needed information. I was just browsing the hysterectomy site, and noticed people directing other women to this site who don't have ovarian cancer. Why don't they have a site specific to Gyne problems?
