Hysterectomy oophorectomy
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy oophorectomy
hysterectomy
I had a total hysterectomy April of 2016. I was diagnosed with a rapidly growing complex cyst and scheduled for surgery on Feb. 17th. The cyst had destroyed my ovary completely so the surgeon removed the ovary also. I now only have my left ovary which he said he cauterized a few endometrial spots on. The left ovary had a mass removed from it 16 years ago. I do not take medications so I hurt as expected but today (3 days post op) I have started experiencing some sweats/hot flashes.
I had a unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and Hysterectomy back in 2007 when I was 27 years old. 2 forms of birth control could not stop an 8 month long period. (Non-stop). I was prepared for the mood swings, hot flashes, and all the other weird stuff that came with it. But not for this long. And now depression, no sex drive, major hot flashes, and bad insomnia. Nobody can answer me on how much longer. I think I ran my only ova into the ground. What should I do?
Do you have to get a PAP smear after a total hysterectomy to include ovaries? I’ve been on divigel and the doctors office will not refill my prescription with out a PAP smear.
Hi, I'm having a hysterectomy due to cervical dysplasia and already having 3 LEEP procedures and no cervix left.. They want to remove my ovaries at the same time. Being 63 and post menopausal for a while I thought it would be fine but now a bit concerned after reading more on the internet regarding health after.
I am trying to find out the benefits or the risks of also having the hysterectomy. I know the recoup time may be longer - but are there other reasons not to have the hysterectomy also?
s health in a number of ways besides reproduction (anatomical, skeletal, sexual, hormonal). Hysterectomy and oophorectomy are two of the top overused surgeries. C-section is also grossly overused. It's a travesty that so many women lose their uterus and/or ovaries for benign conditions since removal of any one part or the whole system is proven to be destructive.
I hope the emotional fall-out is only temporary.
i’m 25 and just had a full hysterectomy and oophorectomy three days ago (with the da vinci robot). i understand that you’re supposed to wait several weeks before inserting anything inside the vagina, so sexual penetration is a no-go. what i want to know is how long i should wait until i masturbate using only external stimulation? i’m worried that the orgasm itself may be bad for healing or hurt because of the way the muscles contract. does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
I had a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in October 2015 because of endometrial cancer every few weeks since my op I m getting a line of spots from under my eye to just above the level of my mouth, they really are sore till they go .
My breast surgeon has recommended oophorectomy in conjunction with sentinel node biopsy? I am concerned about cardiovascular risks. Any feedback is appreciated.

I have heard of other women having an appendectomy during hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy without having an appendix problem. I guess they figure it's a way to increase their revenues.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines state that removal of the uterus and ovaries is not routinely recommended even for those with full-blown Lynch syndrome (those who already have colon cancer). Hysterectomy/oophorectomy is, however, a reasonable option for those who have Lynch syndrome, as well as those who carry the gene.
I had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy 5 years ago and was told it was adenomyosis. Since then I have had a browny coloured smelly persistant discharge which is every day, very wet and makes me feel dirty. I have had swabs taken and a CT scan but all are negative. What could it be as I am getting desperate now?
Not sure what country you are in but in the UK hysterectomies usually only remove the womb in women that have not yet reached menopause. Obviously it depends upon the reason but a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) is rarely carried out.
You need to ask your Dr exactly what was removed during your hysterectomy. If both ovaries were removed then the Dr has screwed up or thats not an ovary showing on the scan.
Monday, my surgeron removed both ovaries/tumor, a full hysterectomy and oophorectomy, removal of one lymph node, the omentum. Diagnosed with Stage 1C because the capsule had ruptured. All samples came back clean from the hysterectomy. Chemo 12 week regiment is recommended which is the same for Stage IV patients. My family and I are confused on the issue to follow with BEP chemo. Is there another treatment or do observation?
I was wondering, I had a hysterectomy many years ago and the doctor never gives me a pab smear anymore, she says it isn't required because I had a hysterectomy. I often wonder what kind of test would show cancer on my ovaries?
I had a FULL hysterectomy 6 weeks ago. I was put on HRT. I stopped taking it without doctor knowing about 2 weeks ago because of the horrible headaches. I feel fine without it and definitely don't have the headaches. I'm 42, my sex drive is fine and I have a had a couple of hot flashes but nothing crazy. What happens if I stay off of the HRT?
I am going to have a hysterectomy soon, but I need to decide if it should be a salpingo-oophorectomy or not. I've been having bleeding problems. To be exact, I have been having a period every two weeks. I have also had dysplagia and now have a cyst on one of my ovaries. The cyst may be nothing to worry about, but am not sure. Also, if it does go away on it's own, there is definitely a possibility that one or more will come back. What should I do?
I had a spare total hysterectomy and bilateral silpango oophorectomy two years ago no hrt in the past yr my body has all but given up 40lbs later severe joint pain and mood,?
s history, then I, personally, would insist on the genetic testing before deciding to have the oophorectomy. Just for reference, I had ovarian cancer at age 40, resulting in oophorectomy/hysterectomy - breast cancer at age 42 - and I did not have the BRCA 1 or 2 mutations. So, it doesn't mean that the BRCA 1 & 2 genes not having mutations means you aren't at risk of ovarian cancer. Understanding the genome and all the effects of the variations and mutations is only just beginning.
I am 1 week post op Laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. I can’t sleep and when I do finally fall asleep, I have horrible, vivid nightmares. Is this normal? Does it last long?
As well, I would love to hear from those who have had a full hysterectomy using this device, as the doc mentioned removal of my uterus and my second ovary as possibilities.
Thanks to all!
I am 44 years old. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago for fibroids. I have a history of ruptured cysts. Since the surgery I've had issues with painful sex, bladder urgency, trouble emptying bladder and bowel issues. Over the last year I started having severe bloating, nausea, and lower back pain. I started to wonder if I was having trouble with cysts again. I got an ultrasound last week and learned I have a cyst on both ovaries. One is hemorrhagic.
Oddly enough I an experiencing the same and my hysterectomy and oophorectomy was almost twenty years ago so it’s certainly not a recent surgery. You know I would describe this very much like period pain. Never had endometriosis at any time. I do have other health issues that could be related so it might be related to that but so many reasons this could occur.
