hysterectomy recovery hormone replacement

These hormones are very important for normal functioning of our body and if there is a deficiency of these hormones it is important to take hormone replacement therapy to overcome this deficiency. Please relax HRT will not damage your brain but is essential at the moment for you.

A friend of mine had a hysterectomy when she was in her 30's and she has had her ovaries left in so that she dosent have to have hormone replacement and she said its the best think that she ever did as she had no end of problems and said that she now feels like a total weight has been lifted off her as she no longer has to suffer with surgery, taking tablets etc.... If you are sure you arent having an more children then i say go for it!

I too am on the vivelle dot patch, I change mine every 2 days and also take estradiol one tab at bedtime. I am like a new person. I think they have finally gotten my hormone replacement right. I must say that premarin is one of the older, not so good hormone replacement products available. There are so many new and safer bioidentical hormones on the market like the vivelle. I would go back to my doc, get your hormone levels checked and demand to be put on one of the safer replacements.

I am going to have a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus and ovaries) in about 2 weeks. 1) How long will I spend in the hospital? 2) What are the tricky tasks around the house that I might do out of habit, but really shouldn't? I'm guessing laundry and loading/unloading dishwasher...what else? 3) How soon after surgery do women start on hormone replacement? Thank you!

The thing is, these studies are on post menopausal women. I can see where taking a replacement hormone when your body should naturally not be making this hormone anymore could be bad and I wouldn't do it. But what about the people who were thrown into surgical menopause at a time their body would still be producing it?

Hello, After hysterectomy, hormone replacement therapy would consist of estrogen alone usually given daily by pill or sometimes weekly or biweekly skin patch.However hormonal replacement therapy should be given for a short time only as long term use may be associated with a small increase in breast cancer. In my opinion you should consult a gynecologist and start with hormone replacemenr therapy.

I was not told much and neither was my mom. Am I going to need hormone replacement? And when is the pain that I am still having going to subside? I don't feel like I can move or do anything...... any help would be great?....or ideas on what u did for relief?

I believe the surgeon should tell his patient about that possibility prior to doing a hysterectomy.

I am 40 and had a total abdominal hysterectomy 8 months ago due to an ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis and a benign tumor. I have been taking hormone replacement since then and would like to know if its REALLY something that I HAVE to do for the next 20 as the doctor said... Ive heard alot about side effects and dont want to put anything into my body that isnt truly necessary. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

On September 29, 2009 I had a complete hystorectomy with a 10lb adnexal mass removed at MD Anderson. An intestinal type cancer of low malignant potential was found. I am waiting to be sceduled for an MRI & Colonoscopy. After my surgery I was prescribed Effexor for my mood swings and hot flashes. The doctor has continued to increase the dosage up to the highest = 150 mg per day. All it has done for me is turn me into a zombie.

Is there a link between breast lumps,cysts, cancer due to hormone imbalance since it showed up so soon after my hysterectomy. I do have fibrocysts. Also, is there a program I could get some assistance to get an ultrasound to have it checked out even though there doesn't seem to be anything there anymore.

What do I need to expect as well as recovery since I have 3 kids under the age of 6. Also any information on different hormone replacement therapies would be much appreciated.

I just recently had a complete hysterectomy on May 20/15. I have a follow with my specialist on June1/15, about HRT that he wants me to go on. I had a hysterectomy due to a polyp on my cervix, thickening of the lining and also endometriosis.

I just had a total hysterectomy February 11th. dr. gave me a hormone shot the day after my surgery. and I'm not sure what the symptoms and side effects are. but I do know I have been super moody. very fatigued. and constant body aches.

The ablatioan for me was an hour or les in the doctors office under local no big recovery. My hysterectomy was days in the hospital. I got home and was sicker than I have ever been in my life.

When you have a full hysterectomy your ovaries are also removed and those ovaries secrete hormones in your body. Without them and even on hormone replacement therapy you can experience symptoms you might not otherwise experience having not had a hysterectomy.

Hi Ladies, So I went to see a gyno/surgeon that deals with endo on a regular basis and he says that the best thing for me at this point is a total hyst. Soooo I am scheduled for "I hope my last surgery" on May 12th. Can someone recommend a good replacement hormone therapy? I am scared to be thrown into full blown menopause but am tired of being tired of dealing with the pain. At 44 I guess it wouldn't be to much longer before it was natural anyway so wish me luck.
