Hysterectomy

As long as it takes is the simple answer. This depends a great deal on your own physical condition at the time of the operation,any complications and how you treat your recovery. Most experts seem to agree that by 4- 6 weeks you should be back to normal. It also seems that abdominal hysterectomy takes longer as the incision takes longer to heal than the laproscopic entry ports.

A hysterectomy that is done at the time of a c-section.

No after a hysterectomy you cannot grow a baby or give birth

I had my uterus out in 2000 and my ovaries out in 2011 and recently went to hospital sick and week. When they did a blood test it came back positive for pregnancy. It was not high but still showed pregnant. It has been about 3 and 1/2 since I was released from hospital and still feel sick and week, what could cause this positive test and is my weakness related to this

Well, a hysterectomy is an operation on a female. And it has nothing to do with a woman's ability to have sex with a man, it only affects her ability to have children.

Conventionally, fallopian tubes are not removed during a partial hysterectomy. However, if the patient demands, or if the surgeon finds it necessary, removal of fallopian tubes along with the uterus is possible(done in cases of possible risks of malignancy). Not done generally.

There are various reasons for a hysterectomy, as well as different types of procedures. A hysterectomy is an effective procedure to get when wanting to prevent pregnancy.

The cervix joins the vagina to the uterus and is where cervical cancerous cells grow This is the reason women have smear PAP tests and abnormal cells can be treated by loop diathermy or other means including removal of the cervix if cancer has spread.

The fallopian tubes are also a cancerous site and usually they are removed to prevent cancer spreading either one or both. This is called a salpingectomy.

Yes, certainly, though not done commonly. Indicated in special cases like if the pregnant lady suffers/ will suffer serious complications during childbirth.

Almost all major health plans will cover it if it is medically necessary. Since I don't think it is often an elective procedures I would say yes.

Yes i do.

A hysterectomy is only the removal of the uterus, A total hysterectomy also removes the cervix. The ovaries if not taken out (oopherectomy) will remain and function as normal until menopause.

I'm going to have a hysterectomy and would like to know what is the most common medication they send home. I had a complete hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and the only medication i came home with was pain medication. I do take a multivitamin everyday though.

As you will no longer have your ovaries you will go into immediate menopause (called surgical menopause) Usually a couple of days after the operation when the body has used all the estrogen which is no longer produced. Speak with your surgeon and doctor about the benefits and disadvantages if hormone replacement theraoy.

It's best to discuss this with your doctor and surgeon. Each person's body is unique, so your medical advisers are the best placed to tell you about your individual circumstances.

I had a radical hysterectomy 5 years ago, and 47 lymph nodes(actually they were perfectly healthy) were removed from my pelvic area, I did have cancer of the uterus. I did not need any follow up treatment. I was 16 days in hospital as my intestine was giving me trouble. I would say that a month's rest and care was needed before I felt well enough to face the world. I was 65 at the time. Some months later I started to have swelling problems, my left leg and ankle was the problem.. Manual drainage was very good. I also take homeopathic medication to help. I found one of the best ways to avoid the swelling was to keep my weight down. However, we are all different, and one of the worst things for me is standing on the same spot, that is without moving much, then I immediately start swelling, and also the car, sitting doesn't help at all!. I was very angry at the beginning, but once I had accepted it and knew that I could live with it, then I can cope, of course there are days when I really get irritated, but that's life! My advice to anyone who has to go through the same type of operation is, don't try and be Wonder woman, just relax and accept your limitations, that will help you to heal and get stronger more quickly.
