550018 tn?1264190965 t want to do it during the c-section due to the blood flow damaging the tissue sampling procedures). Worried about the increase in scar tissue and recovery period after these two surgeries so close together. Does recovery ever get any easier after 2nd/3rd abdominal surgery or do you find that it gets worse? Any input would be great.
Avatar n tn I also had a abdominal hysterectomy on the 13th of August, with a lot f bleeding and pain afterwards. My hemoglobin was tested and it was low. I then was sent for a catscan to find out that I have hematoma. That is all I was told. Now I am in pain and wondering when it is supposed to get better?
Avatar f tn There are two ways to do the surgery. The old-fashioned method is called a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, or TAH, meaning the work is done through an abdominal incision. Recovery time is easily 6 to 8 weeks. A Total Vaginal Hysterectomy (TVH) means the uterus and cervix are removed through the vagina. A laparascope is used through tiny incisions in the abdomen to release the structures that hold the uterus in place.
Avatar f tn If I have a fibroid in the lining of my uterus and calcification of the uterus wall.
Avatar n tn and curious, why just the ovaries?? I had a total abdominal hysterectomy in January and am still recovering from that. You should be writing down all your questions and take them with you to the doctor, so that you can ask the doctor and also write down the answers. Good luck!
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 f tn s eleven days post op with a hysterectomy, ovary and tube removal, and a sacrocolpopexy through the davinci robotic laparoscopic method. I returned to work yesterday as an accountant and worked for six hours. Lots of abdominal discomfort last night, some pressure, and what appeared to be some blood in my urine (pinkish color). My family thinks I'm pushing it. What do you think.
Avatar f tn Endometrial and uterus biopsies due to suspicious looking cells and thickened endometrium. Went in for d&c and hystectomy. How long until the abdominal swelling goes down and when should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn Has any one experience spotting after there hysterectomy ? I had a hysterectomy two years ago. During this time never experienced any spotting or slight bleeding. After two years am experiencing spotting every month I would say at the end of a cycle , experiencing abdominal pain and nausea.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had a hysterectomy that started out laparoscopic then went to abdominal? Do you have any advice for recovery ? Tips? Heads up?
Avatar f tn By all means get a second opinion before the hysterectomy. The attitudes about hysterectomy vary from region to region and from city to the suburbs... I live in a smallish WI town where docs sound like the writer's doc- 'just take the darn thing out' is the usual comment in this 'neck of the woods'! And I admit to coming across many women over the years who were very grateful for 'the change'. BUT...
Avatar f tn I am 27, and am having a bilateral ovary removal and radical hysterectomy in a few weeks. (Due to various problems but mainly huge production of testosterone.Possible tumor unseen by testing) Anyway, I would like to know all of the ins and outs of post op recovery and etc. I am already on estrogen since I don't produce much. I recently (8-12 weeks ago) had my appendix removed laproscopically (sp?) will the pain be like that pain??? I am a stay at home mom to a HYPER!! ADHD 4 year old son.
Avatar f tn t had the hysterectomy I would be convinced I was about to have a period. I do have IBS, but I am not having any of the other symptoms that I would normally have (no diareaha, not constipated) -- this feels different. Should I be concerned? Do you have any thoughts as to what might be the cause?
Avatar f tn m 34, I had a almost complete hysterectomy (1 ovary left) last June. Surgery went well and recovery was good too. Now for the past several months I have some discomfort to my left lower pelvic area and I bleed after intercourse, then spot for a few days. I don't have my cervix anymore so I'm really not sure what could be causing this. I heard of adhesions, but not sure if they cause me to bleed??
Avatar n tn RELIEF IN SIGHT! They have scheduled my Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for a months from now. I am worried about the hormonal replacement and recovery time. I am only 29 years old and will have to replace my hormones for the rest of my life...I think? Considering that my hormones have been way off since I was a teenager, I think I might be able to feel better if they are regulated frequently. I have heard that recovery time from abdominal hysterectomy can be anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.

10905170 tn?1414131788 I had a hysterectomy a little under 2 months ago. Everything went well. My only concern is last month and this month I get symptoms of a period at the time my cycle use to come. Has anyone ever experienced this?

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.
1483640 tn?1383389371 So I went to the doctor and got a UA and he noticed blood. He asked if I was on or close to my period and yes I was just getting off my period. So that was the end of it. About 5 months ago I went to another doctor and told him what I was feeling. He gave me blood tests and UA, again blood in my urin and he said it maybe a UTI and said we would watch it.
647397 tn?1307056615 I am with Cherie, are the alternatives working? have you had a TVUS to check them? I am home recuperating from double surgery, one of which was a total abdominal hysterectomy. I am very happied I had mine, but it is major surgery. If you don't need it, then great, but if you do need it, just be informed about the surgery and recovery and you should be fine. I also hope all goes well with you!
