hysterectomy

Avatar f tn Unless you go onto hormones, you will have instant menopause symptoms. You can google "menopause" for the list.
Avatar n tn I have a fibroid about the size of a grapefruit on my uterus and at least 2 smaller ones. My doctor was going to try the procedure wherein they go in and cut off the blood supply to the fibroid when she thought it was just one. Now that she has learned through an ultrasound that there are multiple fibroids, she said that procedure is not an option as it would basically cut off the blood supply to the uterus if they did that for each fibroid.
Avatar f tn d ask about something that mimics menopause. Might work great till you hit real menopause. And It would tell you if a hysterectomy would work. If your hurting outside of your period then it more than just your period setting it off. My doctor put me on depo lupron (mimics menopause) it stop my period but not my pain therefore it's really doubtful a hysterectomy would help me. If it had helped I could have kept taking it or have a hysterectomy to make it permanent.
Avatar f tn Not that i have heard. a hysterectomy causes early menopause which could give u pregnancy symptoms.
Avatar f tn I had partial hysterectomy May 2013, Im 47yr. Now tired, low libido and starting to but on weight. Sr checked my thyroid and watching every 3 months, still normal at this point. Friend recommended Progesterone cream. Taking it a week but woke yesterday nausea, and headache? Is that from maybe to much Progesterone??
Avatar f tn I have recently found out that I am getting a complete hysterectomy (removal of my cervix, uterus and ovaries). It is being done with robot assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. I am only 35 yr old and a little bit concerned with menopause and the hormone replacement therapy. I am just wondering what other women have experienced with having a complete hysterectomy and the symptoms of menopause.
Avatar n tn 7 cm fibroids as well as several small ones. Will the fibroids shrink significantly after menopause? Should I consider an hysterectomy? I feel constantly full, am constipated, there is pressure on my bladder and do have very heavy and irregular periods.
274158 tn?1276347187 t control my bleeding they will have to remove my uterus and possibly my cervix (depending on how bad the bleeding is). She told me not to worry about menopause etc, because I will still have my ovaries. I already had one of my fallopian tubes and I still ovulate from both ovaries. I was wondering if there is anyone on this forum who can share any side effects from having their uterus removed. I have heard that your ovaries can die and cause you to go into early menopause.
1969625 tn?1536531717 I have had a partial hysterectomy in my early 30's . Only my uterus was removed.
Avatar n tn Depends on the reason for a hysterectomy. The ovaries are usually left because it delays menopause but if cancer is involved then ovaries will also be removed.
Avatar n tn Because of the fibroids, my uterus swelled to 520 grams (normal uterus is around 80grams). I also had hemorragic bleeding. I have never, and will never, regret having had a hysterectomy. Best thing I have ever done. I've never felt better in my life, and I'm not even on hormones. If I were you, I'd see my GYN again to discuss the options.
Avatar f tn My doctor says surgery. I am 49, do not know how close I am to menopause. How much do fibroids shrink at menopause, a little or a lot. I am tired of the discomfort and pain and do not know if I should wait it out or not. Like I said doctor says surgery.
1303966 tn?1296740010 Hi Im the cl here and I had andomyosis,,what it is is the enlargement of uterus, becomes very heavy boggy, sponge like, I saw photos of my uterus before hysterectomy Dr put a insturment under it and it had no form at all kinda just sagged to both sides in the photo, It should be firm .
Avatar f tn i am 51 in menopause and have a huge family history with cancer, The dr recently found a tumor in my ovary and recommended taking both out.... any thoughts on also having a hysterectomy at the same time?
Avatar f tn I would rather have a hysterectomy, as I have already been in menopause for years already... and as for the Lupron shots , (yes that is what she wants to put me on) I don't want to take it as I have not read anything good on it. It causes problems, and the fibroids can grow back... the other medicine is a pill called fibristal... it also has many side effects and have not read anything good on it either.... the fibroids also can grow back after this treatment..
Avatar f tn Ended up in er today cause I was bleeding pretty heavy. They got results of the ultrasound and it showed I have a uterus is enlarged emeasuring8.5 x 5 x 4.5 cm and is anterverted. Thereis what looks like hypoecholc exophytic or subserosal pedunculated fibroid at the fudus measuring 3.5 x 2.8 x 2.8 cm. No other obvious fibroid is seen. They did not do a vaginal probe. No thicking of the endometrium. Right overy measures 3.4 x 3.4 x 2.3cm and shows blood flow by doppler. There is 2.
Avatar m tn I am 51 years old and have 3rd stage uterus prolapsed and my menopause got over 2 he doctor has adviced me surgery. She took a few tests and in the pap smear it showed ASCUS cells. She said it is nothing to worry about but suggested the ovaries be removed as well because of my menopause and age so that it does not turn in to ovarian cancer in the future. I am very worried about the thought of removing ovaries.
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 m tn For one, you were not told the truth about ovarian function after hysterectomy. There is a good chance (about 40%) that the ovaries will fail after hysterectomy due to the loss of blood flow. But even women who appear to have "normal" ovarian function after hysterectomy suffer with they same symptoms as you. It is a myth that the uterus is disposable after childbearing. It has hormonal, anatomical, skeletal, and sexual functions.
Avatar f tn So now my doctor Says we can do a partial hysterectomy, removing the cervix and uterus and the tubes but leaving the ovaries. I have no history of any cancer is in my family. Says we can do a partial hysterectomy, removing the cervix and uterus and the tubes but leaving the ovaries. I have no history of any cancer is in my family. My doctor did not say anything about an organ prolapse for any long-term potential risks.
Avatar f tn If your uterus and cervix were removed (total hysterectomy) and you did not have cervical cancer then you should not need any more pap smears. Ovary removal (oophorectomy) has nothing to do with it.
Avatar f tn They offered me a hysterectomy a couple years ago and I refused, hoping menopause would ease the symptoms. I am 50 and going through the pre menopause years now. We just moved and it will take me awhile to find a doctor that I trust and like as I had before. The lady doctor I saw recently I am not crazy about so I will keep on looking for the best one for me.
Avatar n tn Do you mean you had a partial hysterectomy at 30? (Just the uterus removed?) A total hysterectomy means you would have had the ovaries removed also, and would have gone through menopause at that time. I don't think estradiol will make you gain weight. It might even help you lose a little, or at least make your abdomen seem less bloated.
Avatar n tn Plus, harmless conditions (minor infections, inflammation, bubble baths) can cause abnormal paps. Even low hormone levels when approaching menopause or in menopause can cause an abnormal pap. This link http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/understanding-cervical-changes/follow-up says "If you have ASC-US and are near or past menopause, your health care provider may prescribe estrogen cream. If the cell changes are caused by low hormone levels, applying estrogen cream will make them go away.
