Hysterectomy endometriosis symptoms
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy endometriosis symptoms
hysterectomy
I have a couple of questions to ask you wise women of the ovarian cyst community. I have been scheduled to have surgery on April 12 to have my rt ovary (with attached 4.8 cm cyst) and fallopian tube removed. At the same time the doctor will also perform an ablation (sp?) due to a uterine polyp and subsequent crazy periods.
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?
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 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?
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!
If they are found to be in menopausal levels then, hormone replacement therapy will help a lot. Even if the ovaries are not removed, post hysterectomy many women suffer from such symptoms.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
ve had no pain since then, only some breast tenderness, and slight twinges in my pelvis and left lower back. Other symptoms like bloating, pain in lower back came only before and during my period, which seemed to have become more prominent that I was taking 2 ibuprofens on the days that it bothered me. Had no pain when I was on the pill and figured this was because I was no longer on the pill. Just worried and confused...

If you have a pituitary tumor did you find that having the hysterectomy helped some of your symptoms?

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?
It's possible that your increased pain after endometriosis surgery could be due to a variety of factors. Sometimes, surgical interventions may not completely remove all endometrial tissue, or the tissue could regrow over time. Other factors like scar tissue formation or hormonal changes may also contribute to ongoing pain. It's important to discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider who can provide a more accurate assessment and suggest appropriate next steps.
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.

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 was recently diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. I've been offered a choice of treatments: either an hysterectomy/bilateral oopherectomy or hormonal therapy (Lupron for a few months, add-back therapy and then the pill).
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 2 endometriomas that were approximately 10cm each in size , endometriosis , fibroids and had a hysterectomy the path lab found clear cell carcinoma from endometriosis that had transformed into malignancy. Maybe if you have a couple of gynaelogical problems going on your doctor
feels that removing the cyst now will prevent problems later if it grows . I would ask your doctor these questions before agreeing to any surgery .
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....
Hello,
Such pain after endometriosis can be due to adhesion formation after endometriosis surgery or even recurrence of endometriosis. Symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain(usually before menstruation but sometimes during intercourse,urination or defecation), sometimes diarrhea or constipation,irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding,sometimes blood in the urine and inability to conceive.
Get it evaluated from a gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis.
A hysterectomy will not guarantee that the endo will be gone just so that you are aware of that. I would do some research before you make that decision. A lot of people are told it will go away only to find out weeks or months later it is back.
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...
is it normal for them to put you on the lupron shot before doing hysterectomy
Orbach of New york was at our Toronto symposium and said that 85% of women with Endometriosis have IC. I have all the symptoms of it.
What I would honestly suggest is seeing an Endo specialist. I can help you with that and I want to. You need the best care and the right answers as well as you being listened to not made to feel like its all in your head because us as Endosisters know our own bodies.
