Avatar f tn ll be able to better advise you (this is a forum for pelvic organ prolapse, and although sometimes women have a hysterectomy as part of a POP procedure, the issues with POP and hysterectomy/fistula are very different. Someone should be able to address your concerns and you should be able to find quite a bit of useful information about hysterectomy in general in this forum. Good luck!
Avatar f tn as for reccomeding it,,,its a minor procedure,,you say you are suffering and your bleeding is interfering with activities of daily living,,,so yes, I would say give it a chance,,check out the hysterectomy forum for more info and ladies who have posted on the same subject...
Avatar f tn please read up on just do a on-line search) a procedure called the DaVinci Robotic hysterectomy its the very best method out there..less bleeding, scaring, easier for both Dr and patient. I had this method and I have just four very small as in 1/4 inch scars on abdomen..yes it is a serious surgery. However in many cases and it sounds like in your case once done and past the 6 week healing it is soooooo very nice to be pain free.
Avatar m tn I had a salpingo oopherectomy on both sides, a hysterectomy as well as a appendectomy on February 5th 2013. I am 27 years old. Since the procedure was done I have had severe lower abdominal pain while urinating. I have been very sick. Does anyone have an idea of what this pain is from?
Avatar n tn I had the essure procedure done in 2011after I had my 7th child. please tell me why my periods are so painful and heavy now after my procedure? The literally make me sick and nauseous .
Avatar f tn Without starting a big debate on the subject...may I suggest you post on the "Hysterectomy" forum on this website. Most if not all of the women on this site are Pro-Life, and would have a very hard time understanding why a women would want to schedule a Hysterectomy knowingly while pregnant. Is there any other reason other than the desire not to have anymore children to have a scheduled hysterectomy? Before some of you chime in and say that I'm judging...
Avatar f tn i had total hysterectomy done on Sept. 1, 2010. The procedure was a da Vinci laparoscopy or a robot assisted lap. and the uterus was removed thru the vagina. I had D& C thru the same procedure done on Feb. 22. 2010 and never had any problems after that but the second one, the hysterectomy, i'm experiencing severe spasms and pain on the left side of the stomach. The pain is described as squeezing, tightening feeling that never stops.
Avatar f tn The 2nd is to perform a hysterectomy via an incision to my bikini line and leave my right ovary intact. The recovery time is exactly the same which made me feel a hysterectomy is my best option but now I'm having second thoughts. Can someone advise me?
Avatar n tn I have a fibroid about the size of a grapefruit on my uterus and at least 2 smaller ones. My doctor was going to try the procedure wherein they go in and cut off the blood supply to the fibroid when she thought it was just one. Now that she has learned through an ultrasound that there are multiple fibroids, she said that procedure is not an option as it would basically cut off the blood supply to the uterus if they did that for each fibroid.
1222892 tn?1312148824 I went to the hysterectomy forum and was reading some of their stories sounds like I have endometreosis so that pretty much answers my questions. I just hope that we can leave one ovary so that I will not be thrown into med. induced menopause.
Avatar n tn I am scheduled for a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy in 4 days. I started my period and will be on the light days at the end by the time i have surgery. Is this a contraindication for proceeding with the surgery or can this procedure occur at any time during the menstrual cycle?
Avatar f tn I assume you had a hysterectomy (versus a myomectomy) since you posted on the hysterectomy forum. It's hard to know if the problems are from the repairs/sling or the hysterectomy. Hysterectomy causes the bladder and bowel to drop down which can cause problems with elimination. Constipation is common after hysterectomy due to the displacement of the bowel which of course can cause hemorrhoids. And as Dr. Wanjari mentioned, vaginal atrophy can cause pain with intercourse.
Avatar n tn the ob/gyn has suggested me to undergo hysterectomy during the procedure if i have excess of bleeding during the procedure as i am anemic. i want to know the pros and cons regarding the hysterectomy ..how much risk will it involve on my life? please suggest???
Avatar n tn t want to go through a surgical procedure and then end up having to have a hysterectomy in the long run. Naturally, I also don't want to have a hysterectomy and end up with complications and am really afraid of menopause. Any advise you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn A hysterectomy is a very serious , painful operation with the possibilty of very troublesome life time side effects..Only as a last resort should anyone get a hysterectomy. Your age matters too, the younger you are the less likely you will find a dr to perform the procedure. I think you do need to see your gyn and ask about possibilites to control menstural pain. there is a wide variety of meds..stay away from narcotics if you can.
8012558 tn?1399308657 I was not told by my doctor about any side effects that essure procedure can cause. The procedure itself was very painful and my doctor didn't give me any pain medication during the procedure. I did essure 5 years ago and since then I have experience nothing but the pain in my pelvic area. Doctor performed laparoscopy thinking it is endometriosis, but after the procedure I was told it was very mild and she was not sure if that was cause of my pain.
Avatar n tn Hi, I would think you may get more help on the Hysterectomy or womens health forums, this is the Ovarian cancer forum and it deals with issues related to this. Hope this helps and good luck.
Avatar f tn I understand that you want the hysterectomy due to BRCA issues. But it's still an elective procedure. Perhaps you could postpone the surgery for a year or two, until the baby is less likely to have to be picked up constantly. With regular monitoring, you should be okay. Caught early, ovca is curable. Just a thought.
Avatar f tn The cervix is usually removed as well, and that entire procedure is called a total hysterectomy. There are two ways to do the surgery. The old-fashioned method is called a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, or TAH, meaning the work is done through an abdominal incision. Recovery time is easily 6 to 8 weeks. A Total Vaginal Hysterectomy (TVH) means the uterus and cervix are removed through the vagina.
Avatar n tn I called a gastro doc and he set up a colonoscopy. I had to prep 2 days before the procedure. The morning of the procedure I still was NOT cleaned out!!!! YUCK.......still had to have the test. Now come to find out i have COLONIC INTERIA, but NEVER had problems before the hysterectomy. Is it possible that my gyne screwed something up?? I have also been having problems with my left leg (nerve) and 2 small toes going a little numb on me................
Avatar f tn However, UFE is done by radiologists not gynecologists. So bottom line, that would be lost business for your gyn. Hysterectomy is very profitable and grossly overused so chances are many gyns will tell you to have a hysterectomy. I had one 10 years ago at age 49 and regret it every day. It is the surgery that keeps on giving "problem after problem." Best of luck in getting information and treatment that restores your health versus causing a whole new set of problems.

Avatar n tn Insurance companies now require this procedure before a hysterectomy because it is less money. Most women will end up with a hysterectomy. There are contraindications why you should not have NovaSure done but gynecologist perform the procedure even though the woman is not a candidate. Doctors are not necessarily well informed and many women suffer. I had the procedure in 2005 and I would never recommend this procedure to any one I cared about. NovaSure is basically a form of torture for women.
Avatar f tn I recently had a LEEP procedure done at the end of Feb. The next month when I did not have my regular period I went to my OB to find my cervix had scarred shut. He did a cervical dilation to allow me to drain and told me that if this did not work that I would need a D&C. I have read where this does not always work and a hysterectomy may have to be done. Does anyone know what percent of women with this condition end up having to have a hysterectomy?
212059 tn?1292938529 In August I found out that I needed to have a hysterectomy in December. My doctor wanted me to take Lupron, an injection to stop the ovaries from making estrogen. One of the side effects...you guessed it, heart palpitations. So I thought I'd get ahead of the game by visiting my cardiologist before starting the injections. He hasn't seen me in three years. He did an EKG and echo. Both came back perfectly normal. He also told me that I just might get some extra palps with the Lupron.
Avatar f tn ve gotten some REALLY good advice regarding the hysterectomy. To undergo a completely unnecessary surgical procedure simply for birth control is far too radical. Since you are in very good health, have had NO problems with the Mirena and it's obviously working, why fix what isn't broken? Why take ANY unnecessary risks with a surgical procedure? My advice is have a new device fitted and let nature takes it's course!
