Avatar m tn An associate said that due to the lack of certain hormones present after a hysterectomy it may hinder or slow the process of healing of broken/fractured bones. Is this true?
Avatar f tn I had a total Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). It has been 3 weeks now. I had my post op appointment in which I told my GYN/OB physician and he told me It should go away after I am completely healed, another 3 to 5 weeks will be 6 to 8 weeks. I am no longer spotting, however I still have lower back pain and cramping in my lower abdomen. Sometimes certain days I do not have cramping and feel fine however on other days I feel like I am having menstral cramps.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone. I had a total hysterectomy on June 17th of this year. I have had trouble ever since. After surgery I developed a blood clot in my left leg. I am now on warafin for it. I was cut up and down for the hysterectomy. The outside of the incision has healed but I have a 0.3 x 0.3 on the outside and 11.5 depth of the wound.
Avatar f tn Hi - I will have a total hysterectomy anterior/posterior; rectocele and cystocele in less than ten days. What does all this mean, how long will I be in the hospital, and how long will recovery take, approximately? I know we're all different and circumstances will dictate the exact amounts, but if you have had these three procedures will you please share your story? What was it like before, and after? Tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing!
Avatar f tn I have requested a vaginal hysterectomy in an effort to expedite healing time. My Dr wants to take my ovaries. I am 40 with 3 children - and have no itention to have more. I had a tubal ligation in 2000, and an endometrial ablation in 2010. The ablation only partially worked. I have very light periods, but tremendous pain. My Dr recommends a total hysterectomy due to andometriosis. My maternial grandmother had uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy before 40.
Avatar f tn Hi- Just wondering if anyone out there had any complications post total hysterectomy? I had mine 3 months ago due to several cysts again! Paternal grandma died of ovarian cancer at age 50. I had 15 years of cysts, and a total of 8 laporosopies. I am not even 40 yet! Any how, at my 8 wk check up my oncologist said everything was fine, no infection, no cancer, etc., I can try having sex with my husband. We did everything was fine.
Avatar f tn I had my hysterectomy about 20 yrs ago (total) and was sore for about a week. The sex was the same...especially if your partner knows about great foreplay. I also want to comment about the year on Vicodin....I had knee surgery a couple of months ago & asked the surgeon what pain meds I'd receive. I have been on Vicoden 1and a half years for arthritis...so the surgeon says "Well, you're addicted to pain killers....and I will only give you Norco 3.25!
Avatar f tn Hi... I"m sorry I missed your question. Personally, I had my hysterectomy years before having been diagnosed with IC, so obviously having a hysterectomy didn't help me any. Know of some others that have had hysterectomy in an effort to help alleviate pain, but it hasn't done anything. I'm not questioning whether or not you have IC, but I wonder if you've been checked for other things that cause similar symptoms, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, etc.
Avatar f tn HI, The granulation tissue responds well to cauterization and the irregular bleeding should stop soon. Also the oestrogen cream will help with the healing process. Hence you should be all right soon. There should not be any major side effects. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I had a Total hysterectomy on August 4th. I still have some burning and it feels like things are moving around inside. I also have numbness in the pelvic region. The incision looks good and no inflamation/swelling. I had an ultrasound done last week and the report says I have a thickening on my bladder wall. My mass was 10cm and was close to the bladder prior to removal. Could this be scar tissue I am feeling or surgical adhesions?
Avatar f tn I am female 59 years of age and had a total hysterectomy more than 25 years ago. Do I need to continue taking Premarin .0625 or can I discontinue since I am past meopause age.
Avatar f tn I had my total hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. It was an abdominal one. I am still in a great deal of pain. And as well my abdomin is terribly swollen and kind of hard. And I have alot of draining with blood oozing from the bottom. I' didn't realize it was going to be this hard wow.
Avatar f tn I Had my left ovary removed by keyhole four weeks ago, all was going well despite the op being complex due to adhesions from a hysterectomy . Consultant ordered ultrasound after op of kidneys and all was well. Now l have developed lower back and pelvic discomfort, like something is pulling down or fallen, has anyone else had this, l am very worried.
Avatar f tn I am 10 months past my total hysterectomy, removal of omentum and rectal resection. My last check-up was last month and my C125 was in the normal range. I went off the Lexapro in a step-down process and finished a couple of days ago. But in the last few days I have had a slightly dizzy feeling. Could this be a withdrawal symptom? I am worried about a brain tumor, I guess because my sister-in-law died of brain cancer 2 months ago.
Avatar f tn I would not get the ablation because a large percentage of women end up needing a hysterectomy within 5 years of getting it due to problems with scarring. So that for me is a last resort.
Avatar n tn The bad news is that surgery itself is a risk factor for adhesive disease because adhesions are related to the healing process and some patients form more scar tissue than others. As to who should perform your surgery is better addressed by your gynecologist. Either of the above mention specialist are capable of appropriately making the diagnosis and surgically managing disease when safe to do so. Thank you, Erich T.
Avatar f tn i had a total hysterectomy about a month ago and that is when i noticed the smell. i take two and three showers a day trying to get raid of the smell its driving me crazy.
3185070 tn?1344700577 HI, Granulation tissue is formed as a part of the healing process and should not be a cause of much concern. However if the odour and discharge occur frequently then the granulation tissue can be treated. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn How long does it take for the tibia fracture to fully heal, and is there anything I can do to quicken the healing process on my own other than exercises and physical therapy? Thank you.
