Hysterectomy endometriosis returns
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy endometriosis returns
hysterectomy
I also have a fibroid in my uterus that is about 2.5cm. My Gyno told me that I should consider a hysterectomy. Is this completely needed? Do I have any other options? If it is cancer, is it small enough that maybe it has not spread? I am very concerned. I have 3 children and I would like to be around for a while to see them grow.
I agree with tmarland04. An ultrasound usually does not detect endometriosis. I personally had endometriosis. I underwent laparascopic surgery in 2001 and battled it for 6 years until I finally had to have a complete hysterectomy (ovary removal) and I am only 31 years old.
I am thinking about having a hysterectomy because of terrible endemetriosis, I am 47 and have a history of breast cancer, so I cannot get any hormone replacement therapy. But i have read that maybe it won't help. Does anyone have any thoughts?
When my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 9 years ago, she went through a full hysterectomy and additional chemotherapy treatments for a full year following surgery. The cancer had gone into remission and had been there for 7 years. In 2008, she had been re-diagnosed with the same cancer. Only this time it spanned the wall of her bladder, attached itself to the pelvic cavity and metastasized to the lower lung. She received additional chemotherapy treatment to combat this.

and read accurate info on endometriosis...since my hysterectomy and ovaries removed 11 years ago I have had my pelvic organs glue together 2 more times and have to be surgically cut apart and endo excised...so don't let your Dr. dismiss you...get copies of your medical records and see a specialist...most will review your records for free...the way it was explained to me...until all the endo is excised (cut out) it's much like when you have a piece of sand in your eye...
I have endometriosis, and I am allergic to latex. I have a long history of breast cancer in my family. I cannot have children, I have adverse reactions to hormone therapy and birth controll. I have an IUD right now but am in severe pain. Non latex condoms do not offer enough protection. I am 28 and thinking about having a hysterectomy, but am unsure if that will increase my risk for breast cancer, and other hormone issues, any feedback or help would be great!
I want to recommend, crwstar, if you have any endometriosis, ask them to excise, not laser burn. I did this for my hysterectomy, but was burned when I didn't know it with the first laporotomy. I later learned that it is better to cut than to burn, because the body treats the burns like foreign bodies and more scarring can happen. Adhesions are no fun.
If someone has recommended a hysterectomy for endometriosis, look for another doctor. A small fibroid is not a reason to get a hysterectomy, either. Endometriosis can be treated by laparoscopic surgery, but it is to remove the endometriosis, not the uterus. Are you sure your doctor wanted you to have a hysterectomy?
Here is a link that describes endometriosis. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
I had a total hysterectomy in 1997 which took care of my symptoms. The last couple of weeks I have had symptoms that feel like my endometriosis has returned. Is this possible?
my question is, when you have a baby by hysterectomy and some of the placenta is left behind can this then lead to endrometriosis as thats what i have and now i am having to have a hysterectomy which i am really scared off. im having it done in 3 weeks time.
I’ve been worried it could be something more serious but, the thought also occurred to me today that it might be the endometriosis since a hysterectomy never really cures it. I haven’t had any pain or issues since the hysterectomy 3 years ago until now.
My question is, is there anyone else out there who also had a hysterectomy but experiences endo pain??? If so, was it similar to what I’m describing??
Thanks in advance for your help!!
I've just been told I have endometriosis, my mom had it, and she had a hysterectomy. Has anyone experience conceiving a child with endo? Can you tell me if it was difficult or okay. I'm nervous for when I eventually do want to have kids.
Hi! I wish I could help, but I know very little about endometriosis. There is an endometriosis forum on this website that seems more active than this page. If you don't get a response here, maybe try there?
Good luck!
endometriosis of ovary, Endometriosis of rectoviginal septum and vagina, Endometriosis of pelvic peritoneum, before my consultant said I also have adenomyosis, my next surgery on 3rd October to remove all endometriosis..I'am really tired of this disease,its true this disease destroy your life, relationship, work,family, everything....
I have DIE (deeply infiltrated) endometriosis even after my complete hysterectomy because a hysterectomy is not a cure...the endometriosis lesions/implants must be cut out by a specialist and their are very few. so I would suggest you come on over to the endometriosis board so maybe we can help you find a specialist...they actually cut the disease out...they don't burn it...they don't take organs unless absolutely necessary and most will look at your medical records for free...
It took her a while to fall pregnant with her first but her second was pretty soon after. She then chose to have a hysterectomy after her second as recommended by her dr. Sorry I don't know more about her experience!
I had my hysterectomy with ovaries removed 11 years ago for endometriosis..the endo was not excised as it was not a specialist so my endo continued and it then took me 7 yrs to find a true specialist who believed it could be endo after having all my female parts removed...he went in and sure enough frozen pelvis again...I also thanks to having my organs removed deal with pelvic organ prolapse...sex is very different...
I was a year older than you when I had my hysterectomy for endometriosis. That was 25 years ago when they had only a couple of treatments. I tried them but they did'nt work. The surgery was the best option for me.
But, now they have more treatments available. Can you say which ones you've tried? How advanced is the endometriosis?
Yes it can. There is currently no cure for Endometriosis. The only way to "cure " it is if they did a full hysterectomy and removed every single endometrial implant/endometrial stroma gland in your body.
Hi...I've suffered from Endometriosis since my tweens (25 years), I've had 3 laparoscopies to ease the pain. After over 10 years of trying to conceive with medical help IVF was finally the winner in 2013 & I'm a proud mama of one beautiful boy. However the pain has been back for about a year (after my periods came back), the doctors say my eggs are dropping at a fast rate & we're not interested in doing IVF again so I'm faced with what now.
Lupron ~ I had read enough about that to know this was not something I was willing to try, hysterectomy with bso (ovaries removed) which would cure my endometriosis so since my husband did not want children, so I agreed hysterectomy was what I wanted/needed to get my life back. I asked the dr. if it would affect my sex drive I was told, “no it should not change my sexual function”, but it did in a huge way!
