Hysterectomy operation

Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy operation

hysterectomy

Avatar f tn Removing ovaries is not a hysterectomy...it's an oophortectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of the uterus. I'm not sure exactly what your doctor is recommending, what tests were performed, or what the surgery recommendation is based upon. Ovaries can be removed laparoscopically by small incisions or by open incision (laparotomy).
Avatar f tn What is the surgery for and what surgery are you having?

953787 tn?1246371213 I had never heard of this so did a quick search and came up with this Medhelp links to info on this: YOu might do better to post this question on the site below as well since we deal mainly with MSK, kidneys stones and infection. HOnestly the decision to have a hysterectomy or not really needs to be made by you with qualified medical practitioners. I know some of the other forums do have doctor's on their site that work with women issues and can give you more sound advice! http://www.
Avatar f tn Hi I've endometriosis had a hysterectomy left one ovary in until May this year had it taken out was very painful not been feeling too well since the operation still be on plane on my right side and just underneath my hysterectomy so I went for a scan yesterday and he asked me if I had been feeling sick lately I said yes and very tired .
1149921 tn?1297559913 I have hear that some women experience what is refered to as an early change or menopause following this type of operation (hysterectomy). I know that many women experience menopause in different ways. I just need to know if it possible for a women to experience some minor symptoms in her mid to late 30's and what these symptoms consist of.
1054665 tn?1305508455 did my hysterectomy take my pcos away. Have read where it didn't, but am looking for more info on this matter. I had gastric bypass on 07 went from 320 - 180 and then have regained to 245. Could this gain be partly due to pcos, even after hysterectomy?
Avatar f tn In 2004, she got detected of Ovarian cyst again and got her hysterectomy done. now after almost 12yrs of her operation, she is having excessive fluid coming out of her vaniga and she is becoming very weak. Can you please suggest, what may be the cause and also the way of recovery?
Avatar m tn I know that there are other things that can be given i myself had a hysterectomy many yera s ago and i was given a pill called zestee, it is sort of a male homone, i took it for years and it helped i also know other women that did not take anything and the operation did not bother them maybe it is psycological luck jo
Avatar f tn Sounds like you know already that the healing of your operation is just as important for long term success of your operation as the op itself. Good luck for your surgery on the 28th and please let us know how you get on...
Avatar n tn I'm having a posterior repair for a large rectocele and my gyne recommended a vaginal hysterectomy which I refused. He said that there is no alternative operation to fix uterine prolapse but I've read about suspension operations and wondered if anyone knows why i'ts not possible to have this op with other repairs?
Avatar n tn I had a total vaginal hysterectomy (for a uterine prolapse), bowel repair and bladder wall repair on July 7th this year. After five weeks I had one very busy day cooking and also lifted a very heavy pot. Since then I have felt as if my bladder wall has prolapsed again because my labia seem to be flapping against my urethra in a new way. I have no pain. This sensation is not constant and is most apparent when I am tired. Have I given myself another prolapse?
Avatar f tn I am more worried about my depression than the actual operation. This is my choice to have the operation rather then just trying another birth control method. i have ovary cysts and endemetriosis. Should i rethink my decision to go ahead with the operation?
Avatar n tn by definition a hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus with or without the cervix, a seperate operation is called a bilater salphigo Ooperectomy which is the removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, they are sometimes removed during a hysterectomy but not technically a part of a hysterectomy. Hyster means uterus in medicial terms.
Avatar f tn Had my operation two weeks ago. 13 cm mucinous cystadenoma removed . Thankfully, it was benign. Since I am 39 and done having kids, had everything removed...tubes, ovaries, cervix and uterus. I am so glad I had it all taken out, because I would not want to go thru this type of operation, again. I have not started hormone therapy yet, but have only had a couple of hot flashes that were not too bad. They removed my staples in the hospital two days after operation and my incision opened.
Avatar f tn I had a rectocele and cystecle (sp?) I had an operation and also had a bladder sling put in at the same time along with a partical hysterectomy. Once I got home and recovered the pain came back so I went to another new doctor who did another operation and fixed the pain. Once in a while I would experience (maybe 1 time every other mo.) some pressure and burning pain. Mostly after working out. Now it is all back again. Hemoroids, pressure and burning pain when I do squarts or lundges.
Avatar f tn The 2nd opinion was for vaginal hysterectomy with repairs to the vaginal wall at bladder and bowel and a possible 2nd surgery later on dependent on the outcome of the urodynamics (which is today). I'm happy to have a hysterectomy (she'd leave the ovaries for hormones). I have 3 kids and don't want any more. What I need to know is what will my vagina be like afterwards? Like after everything is healed etc.
Avatar f tn Is there an operation for women to be sterelized and never have their period again? Like to enter the menopause early.
Avatar f tn Can you still have menopause 7 years after Hysterectomy. I have a list of symptoms as long as my arm, the main ones being really bad fatigue, vaginal dryness/itching, aching joints, mood swings, sudden tears, hot sweats, headaches, and no energy to name a few - I feel like i´m going mad. I did not really have any symptoms after my operation but as the years have gone on there is definately something happening and it´not nice. Any advice would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn Not sure what to do, I am fifty, perimenopausal, Dr says I have complex ovarian cysts and endometriosis, (also two types of bladder problems going on) Dr says that I also tested positive for the MTHFR gene which makes me high risk for not surviving a hysterectomy, says if I do survive, I would have to go to a nursing care facility, also told me that she cannot say that I do not have ovarian cancer, ca-125 was normal, she says I have alot going on, put me on pill for bladder, wants me to start in
Avatar n tn I had two high risk preg within two years (my boys we delivered by C-section in Aug 06 and Aug 07). I had a abdominal hysterectomy July 08 but was able to keep my ovaries. I woke up last night in A LOT of pain. I went to my family doctor today thinking it might be a kidney stone or kidney infection. I did not have blood in my urine so he ordered a CT. The CT showed a complex cyst in my left ovary. I have an appointment with my GYN doctor tomorrow. What is next?
Avatar f tn I am 40 years old and 3 weeks ago I had a hysterectomy where they took everything but my right ovary. It turns out I had Adnomyosis and was full of fibroids even tho nothing showed up on previous testing. I am glad I made the right decision to have the surgery but now my mood swings are off the charts and I feel like I'm going crazy and losing control. I also suffer from panic disorder that I had under control without meds up untill now.
