Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy uterus pap smear

hysterectomy

Avatar f tn Do you have to get a PAP smear after a total hysterectomy to include ovaries? I’ve been on divigel and the doctors office will not refill my prescription with out a PAP smear.
Avatar n tn Do you still need to have a Pap if you've had a total hysterectomy? No uterus or ovaries..
Avatar m tn I am 51 years old and have 3rd stage uterus prolapsed and my menopause got over 2 he doctor has adviced me surgery. She took a few tests and in the pap smear it showed ASCUS cells. She said it is nothing to worry about but suggested the ovaries be removed as well because of my menopause and age so that it does not turn in to ovarian cancer in the future. I am very worried about the thought of removing ovaries.
Avatar n tn I had a partial hysterectomy in which they took my cervix and uterus. My doctor is very thorough, and he explained that I still need to come in for a pap smear since one could get cancer of the vaginal wall. I feel better knowing that all is okay in that department.
Avatar f tn i just went for a normal pap smear and Docter advised me for uterus removal. LAter after surgery i came to know it was a total hysterectomy with uterus, ovary and fallopian tube removed. I was on HRT for 6 months and then she stopped my estrogens. Ater that there was gradual weight loss and i have lost 10 kgs till now in 8 months. i feel very low and weak. my appetite has also weakened. i look so bad, i want to regain my lost weight if its possible and is it safe for me to take estrogen again.
Avatar f tn I had Hysteroscopy D and C Curettage Pap Smear and polypectomy and endometrial lining 17mm 36 F which I had Biopsies Dr has ruled out cancer but she told me that abnormal uterus my option retest 3months or hysterectomy need advice
Avatar f tn I also have had a hysterectomy many years ago and have been told I do not need a pap smear. However certain situations would possibly make it necessary. I contacted HIV at work and was told by my specialist that I need to get one due to all f the genital herpes/warts. So actually get one after 13 years without one. I would consider having one with your famiy hx but would contact your gyn doc. Prayers are being sent your way.
Avatar n tn I started some bleeding two days ago. It is minor so far, with some slight PMS symptoms. I had a pap smear a few months ago and it was fine. I used to have regular periods. I had my tubes tied at the same time I had a c-section at age 38. Should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn just go for the complete surgical removal of uterus and ovaries and fallopian tubes . That would be an appropriate choice if you are done with child bearing. another option is to take a look with laparoscopy. Finally you can have your pap smear reviewed by another cytolopathologist to be sure to is not an over reading.
Avatar n tn I had a partial hysterectomy almost 4 years ago, about three weeks ago I spotted for one day, *I have no uterus nor a cervix. I went to the doctor and all my blood work and a physical, had been feeling exhausted and she put me on a z-pak, I finished my z-pak and in the mean time I discovered she did paps in her office- I scheduled with her because my gyn is booked out so far.
Avatar n tn I was wondering, I had a hysterectomy many years ago and the doctor never gives me a pab smear anymore, she says it isn't required because I had a hysterectomy. I often wonder what kind of test would show cancer on my ovaries?
Avatar f tn I forgot to mention that vaginal atrophy that is common after menopause (and even more common for women who have had a hysterectomy) can cause abnormal pap smears and colposcopies. Of course, with your history of cancer this could be more concerning; however, that is not a given. Using a vaginal estrogen for a short period of time to heal the tissues and re-doing the pap smear and/or colposcopy can elucidate whether it's precancer or cancer or just atrophy.
1800740 tn?1324237171 HI, Bleeding after a sub-total hysterectomy is usually because of local causes in the cervix. Pap smear reports will help rule out the risk of stump cancer or other pathology of the cervix that was left behind. Ultrasound of the pelvis can detect any ovarian cysts. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn i have one too , i also bleed every time i have a smear /pap .i do get discomfort in certain positions but i just move a little and i had two normal births , so im saying it fine really !
Avatar n tn Thank you for the info.I spoke with a local doctor and she said I need a Pap smear ASAP. I'm going to see the doctor Friday (4/26).I'll know more when the results come back.I'll keep you updated.
Avatar n tn i got my first pap smear a couple weeks ago. im currently 16 weeks pregnant. so the doctor called me today and told me that my test came back abnormal. Cervical cancer possibility? im only 21 years old. can this just be abnormal because of my pregnancy? should i be worried?
3198373 tn?1348243591 I'm 44yrs. old & have my first ever appointment with a gynecologist coming up in 3wks. time. I procured the appointment because my periods have been wonky this year, coming very close together with prolonged flooding (going through a tampon & back up pad every 10-30 minutes), passing clots the size of golf balls & spotting in between cycles.
Avatar n tn A speculum is placed in the vagina, much like that during a Pap smear. The cervix is grasped to steady the uterus and a small scope, less than 1/4-inch in diameter, is passed into the uterus, and using fiberoptics, displays the surface of the uterus lining. This may be done for many reasons including abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, or pelvic pain. A little advise. Take some motrin or tylenol before the procedure.
Avatar f tn I am 63. I recently had an abnormal pap smear. Subsequent a cone biopsy and uterine scrapings came back negative. A CT scan showed no masses. Still my Dr. is recommending a hysterectomy. He says I definitely have cancer and a hysterectomy is the only way to make sure we have it. I am wondering why a hysterectomy is advised based on negative biopsies. Kaiser is my provider. Do their surgeons get paid additional for surgeries?
Avatar f tn m sorry but you need to go to a dr, I had all you are having, and ended up having a hysterectomy, I had fibroid tumors in my uterus, they can keep growing until you go through menopause. I was in so much pain, awful cycles when I had them. Please get medical help.
7895403 tn?1395152718 Hence it is necessary to know the report of scraping and to see whether it was normal. Also Pap smear from the cervix should be done. An ultrasound scan of the pelvis will help diagnose conditions like ovarian cysts. The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar m tn well found I had hpv, on top of that found out that pap smear was abnormal, not even 3 days later, found out it was cervical cancer. my ob was like, bad news is its adenocarcinoma which means its in your glands. its a rare form.... great!!!!! fantastic... luckily they caught it in time, because I found a dr who finally listened to me, but I needed a hysterectomy to get rid of it.
Avatar f tn When I was 21, I received results from my Pap smear tbat they came back abnormal and I'll eventually have to go through treatment. I was on taxotere for a few months because of my Pap smear with positive results for SIL (Squamous intraepithelial lesion) on the outer part of my cervix, lost a bit of my hair and weight due to the taxotere. All of this was an effort to be a precancerous patient and avoid any further complications. .
