hysterectomy

Avatar f tn If I have a hysterectomy, seeing how I had my tubes cut and they remove my uterus will I still have monthly periods? Also, we are going on a cruise in Oct, will I be complete healed by then? Thanks for your time.
Avatar m tn They are now getting super heavy again and my uterus gets so enlarged before my period that it pushes on my bladder. I am going to get a partial hysterectomy next month. I am going to keep my ovaries so will not have to take hormones.
Avatar n tn your doctor is wrong many women have a hysterectomy with adhesions my doctor had to peeel my bladder off of scar tissue and the peel my ovary off my bowle he sound slike he dont want to do te=he surgerie ...is he a very old doctor....perhaps not up on laproscopic hysterectomies?// thats the route you want to go faster recovery less invasinve...as for scaring you by saying he may ruptre bladder thats rotten and a ruptured bladder can be repaIRED.
Avatar m tn its been a week since I had a laprascopic total hysterectomy I feel pain from my bladder too.. tonight I have a major headache... can't wait to feel better!
Avatar f tn So has anyone had this done with the bladder tac, how long in the hospital, recovery, I dont want to be out of work more than 3 weeks. How is the pain?
1100598 tn?1413127426 He said that a full hysterectomy is not as necessary. But down the road, there is a chance of getting uterine or cervical cancer. I don't really want to have either surgery, but I refuse to go through chemo again. So now I don't know which surgery to have. The full hysterectomy or have just the tubes and ovaries removed? I have done some research and there are schools of thought leaning in both directions.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed by the Urologist I see with, pelvic organ prolapse; bladder prolapse (cystocele) and urethral prolapse (urethrocele) and rectal prolapse (rectocele). He stated that surgery would be the only option to corrent these problems. He suggested a plastic ring thing but this does not interest me at all. He said my bladder was extending past pelvic bone during stress situations (coughing, sneezing).
Avatar f tn I will have a full hysterectomy in a few days, hopefully laparoscopically. In addition to fear of malignancy, I am concerned about recovery. I am in excellent health and fairly fit,10 years post-menopause, never been pregnant. Would hormones be recommended? Which ones and why? What about bladder trouble? How soon might I be able to drive my stick-shift? Return to the gym? Any suggestion appreciated. And best holiday wishes to all.
Avatar f tn He says he will use the mesh sling to hold up the bladder. I ask about the law suits with bladder meshes. He said this kind is different. Worried about having surgery now. I need to have urinary catheter, was wondering how long it needs to stay in?
Avatar f tn And the way your hysterectomy was done would be important for guidance in terms of recovery time and if they did anything else such as any bladder work which is not uncommon during hysterectomy surgery. Anyway, I'd give your doctor a call. But lifting is a no no for a while. Exercising is good to do starting slow especially walking or whatever cardio you like. And in terms of abdominal crunches, has it been 4 to 6 weeks?
Avatar n tn My doctor suggested that I have the rectocele surgery repair. I'm hesitating because I've heard horror stories about the recovery and pain afterwards (from other posting sites and my Mom as well who had the surgery 15 years ago). I've been navigating this site and it seems like people here are not spreading fear. Just how bad was the surgery and post op? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I had prolapsed uterus for 7 years in different degrees ,and had terrible excruciating at times back pain....4 weeks ago I had hysterectomy and vaginal, bladder and rectal repairs..........I think the back pain is gone......I wont be certain until I am fully recovered, because you have a bit of back pain during recovery...but it is a different pain, and I think the old back pain was due to this prolapse.........
Avatar f tn I can not stress to you enough how very important it is to follow post op guidelines to a T, Please go to my home page and read my journal on pre and post op hysterectomy hints, Its has all my best hints for a successful recovery and ideas of how to prepare yourself before the surgery. I have other more current journal entries so you need to click my icon to get to my page, then click see all on my journal list.
Avatar f tn This year at my pap and check up. my gyn said that my bladder had dropped a bit, but was not horrible. He had me do an abdominal MRI to see if my uterus was pulling my bladder down. Pap was normal, uterus and ovaries are ok and in the correct spots. MRI said nothing about my bladder. My only symptons are occasional urgency, no leakage. He wants me to see a urogyn for options.
Avatar n tn When I had my hysterectomy, my gynecologist took the works out. I'm talking the ovaries (well one, I had the other one removed last Dec.), uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. The procedure he used was called lavh, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. I feel a lot better for it though. For me, I have a family history cervical and uterine cancer, which why the gynecologist took out everything. From what I understand though, there are other cancers us women can get.
Avatar n tn It takes several weeks for your body to heal after a hysterectomy so it's best to follow the Drs orders. Take things slow and get plenty of rest.
222282 tn?1210164939 It also guarantees drainage of urine from the renal pelvis directly to the urinary bladder. It also can work as a gentle dilator since it moves slightly in an up-and-down motion, associated with breathing, as the kidney unit moves. The use of the stent is thought to minimize the rate of obstruction of a ureteral stricture in the injured area. Alternatively, a ureterotomy may be made along the length of the injured or strictured section of ureter before placement of a stent.
1930941 tn?1400107522 Hey Penn, Happy to hear your on the mend, but sorry your surgery was not uneventful. Like Barb says watch that fever. Bowel (nicks) is nothing to play around with. Btw, why do they call em nicks when they are really CUTS (ha)! I too had a hysterectomy a few years back and they "nicked" my bladder. Had to go home with a catheter for 5 weeks. I know this recovery is not fun, but you'll be better than normal once you heal especially if they did remove the offending scar tissue.
225036 tn?1294509400 A bit of history on me, I had a hysterectomy in 2001, left ovary removal for a 12cm cyst (laproscopic surgery that went bad and ended up with paratanitis due to urter tube being ripped out of bladder) in 2005, right ovary and 10cm cyst removed in 2006. I have had lots of pain over the last year and have had 3 cyst ruptre from the small bits of ovary that were left behind (both ovaries were attached to bowels, bladder, and colon).
Avatar m tn I am 47 years old and am scheduled to have a hysterectomy this Wednesday and I am very confused on what to do. I have fibroids in my uterus, I just had a biopsy on my cervix 2 weeks ago due to abnormal cells (it was OK) and I have a complex cyst on my ovary. I have had a crampy pain on that side for 4 months. I am prone to ovarian cysts as they come and go for me though not always complex like the one I currently have.
Avatar f tn can anyone tell me if mesh was used to hold up bladder ,after comp;lete hysterectomy, 20 years ago... just wondering what they used back then...thank you...
1710955 tn?1309446473 I did have a complete hysterectomy 26 years ago. I had my gall bladder surgery about 5 years ago. Maybe this was just an awful fluke with you. Will your Dr be waiting 6 weeks post op from your hysterectomy before removing your gall bladder?
Avatar f tn m surprised your doctor released you to go back to work after just 2 weeks. Hysterectomy is major surgery with recovery typically 6-8 weeks but definitely AT LEAST 4 weeks. But I've seen it before - women told they can return to desk jobs 1 or 2 weeks after surgery which should NOT be happening. There is so much cutting done internally so it's not about the size and number of incisions (e.g.
Avatar f tn 2) Can both - fibroid / uterus and gall bladder be removed at the same time? How will it affect the recovery period? 3) What would be best option - total hysterectomy (uterus, cervix and fallopian tubes) or partial (uterus and fallopian tubes only)? 4) Can we wait till August to do the operation - doctor is worried about the statement - "Prominent flow voids seen along the anterior and posterior aspect of the fibroid suggesting increased vascularity" and degeneration in the middle.
