hysterectomy

Avatar n tn t wanna sound rude by telling her that but my hair and makeup are not my priorities. Did any of you ladies not do anything in preparation for pictures and regret it?
Avatar f tn I definitely know that feeling, had to deal with that type of attitude from my husband past almost 8 years.. Don't get Me wrong he did alright at first but he would let money and material things go to the brain..Played video games ,obsessed with movies electronics,didnt want to help me with bdays christmas etc ,was distant during those times and other times too.. It cost him a few times almost our marriage..
Avatar n tn Dont think of the way od Hysterectomy at this stage , try to get some more help, we have a hysterectomy forum here on MH with a very good and kind Cl .called.Cherie ....
Avatar n tn Once we realize life does have a beginning and end (for years most of us ignore that part), we tend to change our priorities and focus more on relationships and making memories and less on buying the new couch or getting upset over someone in traffic.
Avatar f tn I had 2 surgeries 2 years ago, and the last was a horizontal cut hysterectomy. My muscles in my stomach are still not mended, and my colon was scarred during one surgery. So, I cannot enjoy my usual presurgery workouts. I was in the military for 11 years, so having this new pouch in my stomach is new for me. I'm already a vegetarian, don't eat sugar often, but I cannot get the weight off. As a matter of fact, it goes up and down all of the time. Has anyone else been in this situation?
Avatar n tn After recommended to a Gyn specialist, after the appointment, I was suddenly scheduled for a complete hysterectomy a couple weeks ago. No biopsy was performed on my ovaries. Biospy of the uterus proved benign. I'm 48 and though I know menopause draws near, I'm not sure if this is the right decision as heart disease and bone demineralization (osteoporosis) runs in my family. Keeping the ovaries is risky, but having another 4 or 5 years of natural hormone production could be a plus.
Avatar f tn ll want to get stuff for yourself also, like nursing pads for the inside of your bras (leaking happens I've heard, lol) pads for after giving birth (bleeding after birth, they don't want you using tampons), pacifiers for baby, medical type supplies (thermometer, nasal asperator (to clear out their nose), baby q-tips, etc.), baby bag, diaper wipes. Honestly there's so much to think of.
Avatar f tn Text book symptoms for ovarian cyst, ovarian cancer, and endometriosis. I did an ultrasound and my GYN suggested a hysterectomy beings my tubes were tied and my cycle was so debilitating. She also suggested a CA-125 which was 495 and cancelled my surgery and referred me to a GYN-ONC. Now I am waiting.... She suggests that it is an ovarian hemorrhagic cyst, endometrioma, or endometriosis that is causing this issue.
Avatar m tn If you and your gf are having problems with lube because of her hysterectomy (I had a hysterectomy too, and have that problem), just get some lube. It will help it feel better for you both. And it can be fun to play with. ;) But wait until your symptoms are gone before you have sex.
Avatar f tn Not sure what to do, I am fifty, perimenopausal, Dr says I have complex ovarian cysts and endometriosis, (also two types of bladder problems going on) Dr says that I also tested positive for the MTHFR gene which makes me high risk for not surviving a hysterectomy, says if I do survive, I would have to go to a nursing care facility, also told me that she cannot say that I do not have ovarian cancer, ca-125 was normal, she says I have alot going on, put me on pill for bladder, wants me to start in
Avatar f tn As the presidential campaign unfolds, the differences in approaches to Medicare by President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have taken center stage. But what is getting far less scrutiny: Romney's plans for Medicaid. He would convert the health care program for the poor, disabled and elderly into a block grant to the states and sharply reduce funding over time.
Avatar f tn This weekend my hubby plans on going jet skiing, but I will not be able to go =( For the last 3 years I have been unable to go. First, I was pregnant with my daughter, then the following year I was nursing so I couldn't leave her (she wouldn't take a bottle) and this year, well I'm pregnant again. Girls, once you have your baby, you will realize it's all worth it and most mothers change thier priorities in life.
Avatar m tn I had a pap done a cpl months ago and got the call that my pap was abnormal with ASCUS high grade with NEGATIVE HPV. I am new to all of this never before have I had an abnormal pap, and I never heard of HPV so it freaked me out. I'm 28 with 2 children and have ONLY slept with my husband(I knew there was no way I had HPV)! My Dr. recommended I have the colopscopy which they took a biopsy.

Avatar f tn A medical term for when you produce excessive amounts of a hormone called prolactin, the same hormone responsible for producing milk when you are pregnant or nursing. What produces this: your pituitary gland is responsible for production of this hormone. Why now when you are not pregnant: There are certain medical reasons why a woman might have excessive prolactin when she is not lactating or pregnant - this being a growth on the pituitary gland, which is secreting the prolactin.
Avatar n tn The second doctor agreed with his partner and could not believe how young my daughter is to have such a severe case of the combination prolapse. Second doctor does not want to do a hysterectomy due to her age. The mesh, he said was also permenant and she will not be able to have kids. He wants to take her to surgery and suture the bladder up and perform some type of pigskin placement to fix the uterus.
478868 tn?1209031705 I had TAH/BSO for Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Stage 1A on April 2 - I am 7 weeks post op and when I was released by the visiting nursing group (my incision came open when they removed the staples - so the visiting nurses were coming to evaluate the wound and dressings) anyway the RN who released me checked me over pretty good and I was asked if I had noticed the golf ball size lump above my belly button.
Avatar m tn Would help to know your age, because 40's+ could be peri-menopause, but leaky breasts I'm assuming is milk, so that's a different hormonal concern if you had a baby/nursing. Mainstream Dr's don't like to do HRT anymore, so may need a private Dr to address hormone discomfort. One of my breasts has always given drops of milk when squeezed which is highly unusual but not a problem in itself. If you're spontaneously leaking w/o a pregnancy, see an obgyn Dr.
Avatar f tn So I used to be the party girl. Out every weekend n sometimes during the week. Now I'll go out every now n then with my friends to play pool or whatever but I'm so tired lately. I'm almost 30 weeks n they don't seem to understand that I'm tired! I don't always wanna go out n stand around n whatever. Then they get mad at me when I say I don't wanna go. Idk what to do to make them understand....
Avatar f tn I got pregnant my last year of nursing school, it was tough going to clinicals and class nauseated. I made it through. Didn't take a day off. With that being said my husband was awesome. I also had a good group of class mates who supported me. Don't be discouraged, it can be done. You have to weigh the good vs bad, and do what's best for you. It was my 4th child so I knew what to expect.
Avatar f tn Hi!! I had a total hysterectomy Halloween last year. This year during my mammogram with breast pain I had discharge from both breast. More from the right than the left. They did another mammo followed by an ultrasound. During the ultrasound the tech was telling me I had discharge due to hormones I said I didn't think I had any. She stated its due to my ovaries. I told her I didn't have ovaries any more. Am I crazy here.
