Hysterectomy and emotions
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy and emotions
hysterectomy
I am 33 years old and have had 2 children (ages 10 and 4). Today I have been struggling with my emotions and have not been able to sleep since I woke up at 7:00 a.m. I know this must be "normal", but I just want to be sure. Is it common to feel weepy after this type of surgery? I want to be clear that I am happy I made the choice to have this surgery and it was medically necessary I do so. I do not have any regrets.
Thank you for your help!
It does sound like it would be the best solution. I can see what the doctor means. If they leave the ovaries, at least you wouldn't experience surgical menopause, which can be a bit brutal. But you would say goodbye to your womb. How do you feel about that? It might be a good idea, for the sake of your general health.
Fibroids naturally shrink after menopause, and often cause no more trouble, but with the kidney involvement, I would say it's best to have the surgery.
I also run the risk of the UFE throwing me into menopause. Just wonder if anyone has been through this...part of me wants to get a hysterectomy and be done with it.

Its not odd at all to question getting your tubes tied at any age or any circumstance... My mom was in her 50s when she got a hysterectomy and she cried for days before and after about how she couldn't have kids anymore... Even though my dad was snipped in 1986. She said it just seemed so final!
my mother (she's 46) had a complete hysterectomy 6 months ago and is unable to ever receive HRT due to health reasons. As a result she experiences intense uncontrollable emotions. I believe she is very depressed and i am concerned to the extent to which she may be so. Medically there is nothing they can do. Im trying to support her but i dont know how. Does anyone have any advice on how i could deal with this or how long she is likely to feel like this? Thanks!
I'm 45yrs old, I have Psuedotumor Cerebri, and up until I lost my health insurance my neurologist was testing me for MS. I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 32yrs old due to endometriosis and testing positive for pre-cancerous cells. The last 4 months, I've been dealing with a vibration/buzzing sensation in my left breast. Just this past month, I've been having the same sensation in my lower pelvic region. I still do not have health insurance, but this is driving me nuts...
I am 35, and am considering hysterectomy for AUB. As far as I know there is no reason to remove my ovaries and since I probably have 15 years until menopause I can use the hormones. I was wondering if because of still having the ovaries which leads to the menstrual cycle does one still experience PMS? By PMS I mean the moodiness, bloating, constipation etc?
those emotions can be long or short lived I had a hyster, and did ok It was when I had a second surgery and got the ovaries out I became irrational i knew it just couldnt control it,,,Been on estrogen now and am back to normal,,,,I think Laney is likely right it really sounds like her ovaries are either not producing hormones or something else is going on with hormones. Some women dont feel like a "real woman: after a hyst, i never had that but many on here have...
Hi: I forgot to include this question in my last post. I am postmenopausal (about a year and a half) & am scheduled for a complete hysterectomy. I read a lot about physical/emotion effects of hysterectomies on premenopausal women, but can't find any information about the physical and emotional effect on women who've already gone through menopause. Is there still some hormonal effect on 'p. m.' women?
Hi there. I had a vaginal hysterectomy almost 5 years ago. They removed my cervix and my uterus. For the past few month I have had a miserable time trying to control my emotions. I cry for no reason whatsoever, I can go from smiling to a feeling of rage. My emotions are all over the place. I'm normally a very happy person and even when my moods change to sad, or mad I can't think of any reason as to why I would be feeling like this since my life is wonderful.
I had a hysterectomy and my cervix removed , the top of the vagina is stitched and so nothing can come out i thought .
Has anyone had or heard of anyone that has had a partial hysterectomy (cervix, uterus and tubes removed-ovaries left) instead of a tubal? I have heard so many horror stories of heavy periods after a tubal, and mentioned that concern to my OB/GYN. I currently use the Nuvaring, but we are sure we are finished having kids, and I would like to get off hormones (I get the automatic 5lb weight gain). My OB/GYN recommended the partial hysterectomy.
I am curious about your reason for having your uterus and remaining ovary removed. Hysterectomy (uterus removal) and oophorectomy (ovary removal) are rarely necessary and cause a lot of problems and medically documented increased health risks.
My organs were needlessly removed 12 years ago when I was 49 and I aged horrifically fast despite taking estrogen. I miss my body's own hormones and the normalcy I took for granted. I also miss my intact figure (long lean midsection and flat abs).
I had my hysterectomy on August 22 of 2006, I was 36 years old, started having thyroid pains within eighteen months of surgery. Cysts in both breasts within 3 months of my hysterectomy and again a year later. Cysts on ovary, now I've been diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer (papillary) at 38. Could there be a connection between the Hysterectomy and Thyroid Cancer? No major problems before hysterectomy.
The insurance would pay for this type of termination of pregnancy. It is considered medically necessary for her to have her hysterectomy. Why can't she just call the GYN and talk to the nurse and see what kind of an issue/problem this presents for the hysterectomy? They usually don't charge to talk to you on the phone. Plus since it's her choice to terminate the pregnancy. I'd ask about just going on with the hysterectomy.
I have a 15 year old who experiences very strong emotions a week before her period. She is happy one minute, then crying the next. She is like a roller coaster. Any ideas how to help.
I am having a hard time keeping my emotions together. One minute I'm smiling laughing and the next I'm angry and sad crying. I'm not used to the quick jump of emotions and I have no way of keeping them under control. Any tips?
Did you have hysterectomy? I really feel for you its a terrible rollercoaster ride of emotions and unless you,ve been thrunit you dont realise how hard it is...(i hope i havent depressed you too much now!) :) Keep writing its nice to hear from others experiences so we know we are not alone ..
ll want you to try a ton of different birth control pills and meds, and estrogen-stopping meds before you get the hysterectomy, because the hysterectomy is permanent, and even at 39, they don't think we can make our own decisions regarding having children or reproductive health.
Get the cysts removed if they don't clear up with your next period, or if they are masses, but remember that the more surgeries you have, the more scar tissue you'll get. (Totally a double-edged sword here.
I have GAD and panic disorder and am getting ready to have a vaginal hysterectomy. My obgyn suggested taking my uterus,cervix and left tube and ovary. At first I thought I wanted him to take the right side as well but I'm just not sure. I am scared with having the anxiety problem anyway that it will throw me way out of wack. If I leave the right ovary will it help regulate my hormones or will I still need HRT.
