Post hysterectomy endometriosis pain
Common Questions and Answers about Post hysterectomy endometriosis pain
hysterectomy
Welcome to the community. Body pains especially in joints and muscles could be an indication of low estrogen...not sure about "heavy head."
I am 9+ years post-hysterectomy. It seems that sometimes HRT's lose their effectiveness and we have to increase the dose or switch to some other HRT. Endometriosis can complicate matters because all of the endo is seldom removed at the time of hysterectomy and can itself produce estrogen.
After reading this I need advice hysterectomy for endometriosis and fibroids in 2014 womb wad measured ten times to large, now being used at a medical school. I am having sharp stabbing. Pain and scar is very sensitive to touch. Had two lumps removed on arm and breast 2009/2010 respectively ovaries grown onto intestines as was womb.
If i do get a hysterectomy will all my pain and bleeding stop for good. I also have polysystic ovaries so would i need a full hysterectomy? I've also heard about a procedure where the Dr can do something to the lining of your uterus, what is that and will it help any of my problems?
I had a hysterectomy 2 months ago due to a severe case of endometriosis. I had a lot of back pain & I thought after I had a hysterectomy that pain would go away.....it hasn't yet. I was wondering if cymbalta would be good for my back pain? My lower back hurts a lot & I didn't know if they would complicate things. I just want some answers...maybe you can help.
I agree with everyone! I had a partial hysterectomy in 1996 when I was 26 years old.
I was wondering, do you still have symptoms like the cramping or pevlic pain? I still have my ovaries and I have always experienced the same "pain" when I had my uterus and endometriosis-I'm starting to think the pain is now all in my head, even after 11 years!
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...
I'm 45 yrs old and just had a hysterectomy in July for endomedtriosis. My doc gave me progesterone only for 4 months to kill off any residual traces of endometriosis before switching me to estrogen. From what he told me, progesterone kills it off while estrogen fertilizes it. I never knew that. I asked about stopping the estrogen because I'm not liking it at all. Loved the progesterone. He said it would be ok unless my menopause symptoms became too bad and I could go back on it.
ve had improvements in regard to the tumor. I do have fewer migraines post hysterectomy and many not as severe (currently down to an average of 5 a month last I counted), and no more extremely painful periods, and no more endometrioma growing painfully in one ovary.
I’ve been worried it could be something more serious but, the thought also occurred to me today that it might be the endometriosis since a hysterectomy never really cures it. I haven’t had any pain or issues since the hysterectomy 3 years ago until now.
My question is, is there anyone else out there who also had a hysterectomy but experiences endo pain??? If so, was it similar to what I’m describing??
Thanks in advance for your help!!
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!
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.
Do your symptoms of pain come only during ovulation and the time of your period? That's typical of endometriosis pain, if youre having pain every day, thats something else to look at. If its endrimetriosis related pain and you cannot get surgery until september, what I suggest is getting on a hormone that prevents you from getting a period until then. I get horrible periods-heavy, cramps, abnormally so. And I like to control things :).
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 am sorry you are suffering from both PCOS and endo that is leading you to hysterectomy. I assume you already know that hysterectomy is not a cure for the insulin resistance of PCOS or for endo. Some women do get relief, either temporary or permanent, but some don't (I don't know the percentages).
I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago at age 49 - absolutely the WORST thing that has ever happened to me but I did not have a chronic pain condition.
This altered anatomy causes back, hip, and rib cage pain over time as well as the post-hysterectomy belly and loss of the curve in the lower back.
Thank you ticked Mr. Alfred Cutner & Mr. Ertan Saridogan they are my surgeon at UCLH I have 2 laparoscopy with them yes they are good surgeon I talked to Mr. Cutner after my surgery he said they removed all endometriosis and they record my operation he said my endometriosis is more than severe, I hope I'am pain FREE soon.. even we know that no cure for this disease, sad to say Mr. George Pandis his dead early this year.
I actually went in to have a cyst removed, but the cyst had already ruptured, but they found endometriosis. I have hurt and hurt and I still hurt. I go tomorrow to my ob to discuss further options. At my 2 week post op, he mentioned about the Lupron shot which I do NOT want to take for various reasons. I hurt mainly on my right ovary, but when he did the lap. he said my ovaries looked fine.
unfortunately current research is showing now that endometriosis grows it's own nerve supply as well as hormones so it does not matter if you use HRT or not...also many of the foods we eat become estrogen in the body so if endo is left behind it will grow...the key is to see a specialist and have the endometriosis cut out at the root...that is the only chance at curing this disease! I too have endo and had the complete hysterectomy which I so regret, I had no choice but to use hrt...
