Avatar f tn (It would be difficult to give you info w/o knowing your specifics because there are 5 types of POP, 4 grades of severity, and multiple symptoms that can display-every woman is unique. I'll send you a PM as well. There is a way to check the credentials of the urogyns in your area, will give you that info in the PM as well. I am gong to have administration transfer your post to POP forum FYI.
Avatar f tn In that year and a half they were always abnormal but the HPV has just come about. I was also told it is one of the lower risk types. If it goes away on it's on and I pass it to my spouse and I've cleared up, he would just be giving it back to me so it seems like a never ending circle.
Avatar n tn ve thought about various procedures over time, would not even mind visible scars if I could get rid of some saggy skin in key spots. Thing about a hyster though it that it is serious surgery, you lose an organ and all. Some docs might figure that is more than enough for one shot, and ask you to do the cosmetic procedure after all is well after the hysterectomy.

Avatar f tn C section is scheduled for August 7th; however, due to the location of my fibroids I may have to have an emergency hysterectomy...is anyone else in a similar situation? Does anyone know anything about how that might impact recovery? Pregnancy has been basically perfect and baby is doing great otherwise!!
1563307 tn?1295052596 I assume by a partial hysterectomy that you mean they left your ovaries in. The fullness sensation is extremely common with most types of POP (there are 5 types, women often have 2 or 3 types at the same time). The type/degree of pain varies quite a bit from woman to woman but women often have the stabbing vaginal pain so know that you are not imagining it!
Avatar n tn It depends on this history, the amount of levator function, the amount of ptosis and appearenace of the lids. An Eye MD will make these measurements. If possible see an oculplastic surgeon Find one at www.aao.
Avatar n tn Besides those you listed, there is an increased risk of heart disease, #1 killer of women (one study says it is 3x that of an intact woman if your uterus is removed). Hysterectomy also destroys the figure because they have to sever the uterine ligaments that are the support structures for the pelvis. And it's associated with increased risks of thyroid, renal cell (kidney) and rectal cancers.
Avatar n tn What procedures have you had? Hysterectomy is not the first line of defense, but the gynecologist who has been treating you is the one to ask. Have you had LEEP or cervical conization?
Avatar n tn Any postmenopausal meeting is never normal. I was diagnosed with fibroids, they are looking at possible hysterectomy...still waiting to see the specialist and unsure exactly what they have seen inside. I have been in full menopause with no periods for more than four years.
Avatar f tn The type of POP surgery you have will depend on the exact type(s) of POP you have, there are many different procedures utilized for these kinds of repair. A urogyn will try to save the uterus if possible but often women have more than one kind of POP and it could be you have uterine prolapse.
Avatar m tn luckily they caught it in time, because I found a dr who finally listened to me, but I needed a hysterectomy to get rid of it. he says now I have adenocarcinoma insitu because I don't have a cervix or a uterus, but it could come back and attack the walls of my vagina or my ovaries. Could this happen? Am I not in the clear?
Avatar f tn You certainly have several indicators of POP and the comments about intestines (that would be an enterocele) make it sound like you have 3 types of POP (there are 5) rather than 2. The hysterectomy might not be necessary unless you have uterine prolapse; some physicians do one automatically when they do POP surgery but if you aren't having problems with your uterus, it isn't necessary to remove it.
Avatar f tn I have a bit of down time waiting for flight home and yes I did speak at the meeting yesterday (Thursday was related to transvaginal mesh procedures, today is regarding sling procedures.) I'll be posting a copy of my speech as an article to my nonprofit site early next week.
Avatar n tn Your CSection scar should be relatively well healed, but I would suspect that you are at a bit higher risk for a perforation or a puncture in the uterine wall at the site of your scar. Most of the time the procedures are uncomplicated and women are able to be back to normal the following day. The worst thing that I have seen happen, it a perforation of the uterine wall through a major blood vessel that required a hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn Hi... I"m sorry I missed your question. Personally, I had my hysterectomy years before having been diagnosed with IC, so obviously having a hysterectomy didn't help me any. Know of some others that have had hysterectomy in an effort to help alleviate pain, but it hasn't done anything. I'm not questioning whether or not you have IC, but I wonder if you've been checked for other things that cause similar symptoms, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, etc.
442027 tn?1209866342 da Vinci Hysterectomy offers numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to vaginal, laparoscopic or open abdominal hysterectomy, particularly when performing more challenging procedures like radical hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer.
Avatar n tn I can assure you that a leep biopsy is far less invasive than a hysterectomy, and considering your anatomy is different a hysterectomy would require a very skilled surgeon. a hysterectomy should always be done as a last choice not as a method of birth control, You should wait until your leep diagnosis and then discuss this further with your surgeon a hysterectomy is MAJOR surgery with risks. the recovery is difficult. resurch this well and get atleast 2 informed opinions.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am a 43 yr old mother of 2 and was diagnosed with Uterine Fibroids a couple years ago. I have annual ultrasounds that showed 4 fibroids, 1 being much larger than the others. My most recent mri showed 8 or 9 of them, so I know they are growing in size and number. HELP!! I have been reading alot about different procedures available and want to know if anyone out there has had success with any of them. I do not want my organs removed but I am done having children.
Avatar f tn re dealing with this. Since you had a hysterectomy (including removal of your cervix) for cervical dysplasia / pre-cancerous cells, it's surprising you've continued to have problems. Were the vaginal cuff surgeries for cancer or pre-cancer? I wonder if the most recent finding of LGSIL is accurate or if you need another pathologist's interpretation. Pathology second opinions are sometimes needed just like getting second opinions from other kinds of doctors.
Avatar m tn Is it legal for a medical insurance company to change the types of procedures a providers does and submits when they pay the claim? In other words can an insurance company legally change 7 lab tests to 7 unspecified medical visits when paying the provider. By doing this they paid the provider more than would have been paid under the actual work done, resulting in higher copays.
Avatar f tn Some positions in yoga r not really good for those of us with Chiari....some of the basics r not bad, but u have to realize the bending of the neck to look up or down may cause an issue.
Avatar f tn No matter who did the procedure, 5 months is not standard bleed time after POP surgery. What POP procedures were done or what types of POP were repaired and grade of severity? Does your daily activity include any heavy lifting (including kids/grandkids)? Do you have pain or bleeding alone? Can you provide a few more details of what the dr is telling you? Have you spoken with a different dr than the one who did your procedure?
Avatar n tn Not that I am aware of. However, different processing procedures and different extraction procedures are likely to make the different products produce slightly or moderately different effects in terms of reduction of anxiety or influence on mood and sedation. I prefer taking breaks from the use of herbs, that is just my personal viewpoint since I tend to err on the side of caution.
