Hysterectomy for enlarged uterus

Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy for enlarged uterus

hysterectomy

Avatar f tn One thing, an enlarged uterus is not a sign of perimenopause ... usually the uterus begins to thin out if you are going through perimenopause. If I had to guess, I'd guess a fibroid.
Avatar n tn my wife has an enlarged uterus and she had phybroid cysts. we live in ok. and were going to the osu clinic but her normal physician wouldnt release her med chart so we were told untill then we couldnt go there. it seemed like it was the first and only place that was willing to help. the last thing they did was lupran shots.
Avatar f tn His office called today to say that my uterus was enlarged and that I needed to take lupon shots. They said that my uterus went from 155 ml in Dec. 09, to 243 ml on June 17, 2010. I have no symptoms, other than maybe one or 2 heavy days of my period. I am 53 years old and still have a regular period. Do I need a hysterectomy??? Do I need to take the lupron shots??
Avatar f tn Yes your uterus is enlarged any time one has adeno it is enlarged, I dont know what type cyst you have on left ovary but it is likely a common non worrisome type or other testing would have been ordered. I have answered the best I know how on your above post explaining about the para cyst. This one will likley have to be removed.
Avatar f tn I have a enlarged uterus the size of a cantaloupe with a fibroid the size of a orange on top of that with smaller fibroids all around. I have pressure on my left side with pain and burning. I always feel like I have to go to the bathroom. My periods are not real heavy, but long. 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.
Avatar f tn My gyn wants me to see a gyn oncologist however he stated he is not concerned with cancer but that I may need to have a hysterectomy due to fibroids, retrovert uterus, and heavy bleeding. Then why does it say only slightly enlarged? He gave me the CA125 too which was 31. Why would he get that test if nothing?n So am very confused and looking for answers to ease my mind. Thanks in advance for any insight.
Avatar n tn I am curious as to what you mean about tissues thinning and affecting the bladder and urethra? the urinary bladder and urethra are not part of the reproductive system, the uterus of enlarged may sometimes put pressure on the bladder, but it does not cause thinning of the bladder tissues.
Avatar f tn I had a trans vag ultrasound which showed a slightly enlarged uterus, fibroid and thickened wall. My ferriten level has remained at a 4 for the past year, due to heavy bleeding and I was started on Progesterone to decrease it, the amount has slowed, but the length is 7-9days. They (pain clinic DO and OB/GYN) are reccomending a laproscopic hysterectomy. Has anyone had back pain secondary to the uterus. Upon exam, my uterus was very tender.
Avatar f tn This probably raises the suspicion of adenomyosis as indicated by your gynecologist. Hysterectomy in my opion is a good option for patients that have failed conservative management or simply declining conservative management for legitimate reasons. Paraovarian cyst just means a cyst around the ovary. The majority of cyst in reproductive age women are benign and do not necessarily warrant surgical intervention. Uterine adenomyosis is a common finding at the time of hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn I was in the er just a few day ago and they did a vagninal ultrasound . It showed thaty uterus was midly heterogenous and that it measured 8.3 x4.1, etc . It also showed that on my right ovary I have a paraovarian cyst and my left ovary I have a cyst . And I saw my obgyn back on march 4 and age told me that i may have adenomyosis . What does this all mean ? Is having a paraovarian cyst dangerous ? And by the measurements of my uterus does that means it's somewhat enlarged ?
637613 tn?1281039564 I was quite disappointed as I wanted a total hysterectomy (you have to be sure what your doctor is planning to remove for a hysterectomy as the term hysterectomy indicates just removal of uterus - I wanted it all gone) and my doctor felt it was too risky for me when he was operating so only took the cysts, right ovary and tube. I have severe adhesions and it was a challenge for him to extricate what he did. Keep up your hope. This will get much better.
Avatar n tn I am diagnosed with bulky uterus/ enlarged uteraus. Recnt Untrasonography readings are as follows: uterus anterverted, lontitudanal 78mm, ap 61mm, transverse 80mm, volume 199.3ml cervix; length 42mm myometrium: heterohenus, myometrius suggesrive of adenomysis POD; free fluid, none seen right ovary: normal size and appearance. size 30mmx 17mmx13m left ovary: normal size and appearance. size 28mmx24mmx16mm. comments; uterus is bulky and anteverted. No focal fibroids.
Avatar n tn Uterus is enlarged, measuring 11.1 x 6.3 x 5.8 cm. There is a mass along the posterior uterine body measuring 3.8 x 3.7 x 3.1 cm and another mass anteriorly on the left measuring 1.4 x 1.5 x 1.4 cm. There is some fluid seen within the endocervical canal. My ovaries are normal in size but there are simple bilatral ovarian cysts measuring 1.7 x 1.7 x 1.4 cm and 0.8 x 1.1 x 0.8 cm with additional follicles noted within the left ovary. No free intrapelvic fluid noted.
Avatar f tn I want to say the laproscopy was for the uterus right? Just want to be clear. If the uterus is tilted alone I do not believe they will remove it for that alone. Also based on the symptoms, it seems that pressure causes this bleeding. Did the scope go into the uterus? Also how much bleeding? A little? Are you soaking up pads (like 1 every 1-2 hrs)? Is it clotted?
553516 tn?1255867219 usually its a bladder suspension/sling, Since your uterus is enlarged and if dr feels its going to continue to become enlarged I do understand him wanting to remove it, it would make sense to do both the bladder suspension( or you may not need it mine "popped" into place when uterus was gone.
Avatar m tn I am a healthy 49 year old and need to have a hysterectomy because of an enlarged uterus and fibroids. I would like to know what to expect after the surgery. I am not having my ovaries removed and maybe leaving the cervix. Woudl like to know thoughts of leaving the cervix and how is it post surgery.
7930203 tn?1395494387 I am 50 yrs old and have been bleeding for 8 weeks and have been to the ER twice in a week. It revealed a big cyst and an enlarged uterus. Second time I went it showed the ctst burst and my endometrium had shrunk. I went last week to my gynecologist and had a biopsy done. I will have that result in 4 days. I don't expect anything from it. Seems everyone I talk to (friends) their advice is "you don't need your uterus anymore". I am sorry but its a part of me.
Avatar n tn She said that my bladder drainage tubes had scar tissue all over them and that my bladder would have to be disected if I opt for a hyserectomy due to my ovaries and uterus being attached to it. She said I could try for a baby for awhile longer but that ultimately hysterectomy is my best option if I do not want more kids. I have scheduled hysterectomy because it scares me to try for a baby if all those parts are attached and with all that scar tissue.
Avatar n tn The stripe is suboptimally visualised due to fibroid. Uterus is enlarged measuring 6.3*5.7*6.1 cm. Tot uterine volume 115cc. There is a posterior intramural fibroid 3.9*3.8*2.9 cm. The remainder of the myometrium is heterogeneous. The left ovary contains a 3 cm simple cyst (the measurement of the cyst is 3.8*2.5mm in CT scan). No fluid in cul-de-sac. Right ovary is normal 2.2*1.3*1.2cm.
678002 tn?1226349122 I am 50 yr's old have had 3 children..which are now late in their 20's) and I am scheduled for TAH in December because I have a 13cm fibroid, an," ENLARGED" uterus, cyst on 1 ovary..and lengthy, heavy periods...BUT...how large is an enlarged uterus? I understand with the type of incision (horizontal or bikini cut) is determined by the surgeon based on how large the uterus is...SO how large is large? My Dr.
483733 tn?1326798446 I fortunately had no fertility issues and gave birth to two children but I had a hysterectomy in December of 07 due to an enlarged uterus and fibroids. My uterus and cervix were removed and I kept both of my ovaries but now I am scheduled to have a complex cyst removed from my left ovary and it is likely I will lose the ovary as well.
Avatar f tn Did you want future children and are you even a good candidate for pregnancy? Hysterectomy might be the best treatment for you with such a complex history. Removal of whatever is left (utererus, ovaries). If still too young for menopause, perhaps one ovary can remain, but with the cystic history you could still have cyst problems with it.
Avatar f tn I had a transvag ultrasound compelted and found a fibroid (3cm) in left side of uterus. I was referred to OB/GYN and went for the appt yesterday. He told me that according to US, I also had a thickened lining of the uterus (1.3cm) and a larger than normal uterus.
