Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy per se should not cause pain in the ovaries as it only the uterus that has been removed. This could be cause by any number of things such as a hemorrhagic cyst. You should ask your doctor for a scan immediately to find the cause of the pain.

Ouch & soreness and some chance of infection, but probably no real dangers

As your are healing your body is creating scar tissue around your incision which is causing you pain however it will be painfree when it is healed.

Certainly you should NOT lift anything over 1KG for the first two weeks and longer if an abdominal. You need to give time for your body to adjust and to build up your abdominal muscles again by doing your pelvic exercises. No ironing ,hoovering moving furniture etc for at least two weeks.

I had anglinal hernia surgery 18 days ago and I am still recovering. This was an open surgery and I must tell you that it has been a slow recovery. Take lots of time off, you will need it. I went back to work two weeks later and had to take it slow.

Never heard any credible report on that. Vitamen E is generally a great addition for skin & blood health, so probably doesnt hurt.

The best thing I have found for menopause has been BHRT, Pellet therapy The Pellet therapy has been a GOD SEND! There isn't much talk on this board about it and it definitely goes against all the conventional wisdom of loading us up with more estrogen. If you can't think outside the box, don't even go see a pellet therapy clinic. If you can listen & are open to a better way, you should at least go.

Their philosophy won me over & it works for me so no hate mail please, I'm healthy & happy, that's all I care about.

* Their premise is that menopausal & post menopausal women, don't need supplemental Estrogen

* Their premise is that the worst days we have in our cycle are the days when our estrogen is the highest...PMS.

* The Dr at my clinic (a female!) even inelegantly called estrogen the B***H Hormone.. Like I said if you are too sensitive to listen, Do Not Go.

* Their premise is that pre-menopausal my body made testosterone & then converts it to estrogen & progesterone as my body needed it. They also say that since I haven't had a Hysterectomy it will still convert if I get testosterone!

* Their premise is that by giving testosterone & letting my body make what it needs, It would get me off the roller coaster & it did!

* The pills, patches & creams all spike your system because they hit you pretty fast, the pellets last 90 days & are very slow to dissolve & are absorbed from my fat buttocks. That happens slowly.

I had to leave my belief in the sacred estrogen and the Dr that had been my light & hope, but I later realized had also been the one that had sold me the ticket to the roller coaster..

I have now been taking Natural Hormone Pellet therapy for 3 years and the hot flushes are gone, joint pain gone, I sleep great & have energy for the grandkids & my sex drive is almost too much but that is hot too.

It can be but only if there is cance present as a form of treatment before deciding to remove the organs with the cancerous cells. It is the same reason that chemo/radiation is tried for breast cancer rather than mastectomy etc.

The most common side effects of a Hysterectomy are1

1.sore and pain in what ever areas are removed

2. you might be bleeding for a while

3. you might have trouble with you blood preasure

4. they will make you get up and walk?

Make sure you get strong medication for pain you'll be sure

Everyone is different good luck

It has been found that Estrogen alone should not be taken without some Progesterone present. Please discuss this with your doctor.

After a partial hysterectomy the eggs released from the ovaries are absorbed into the blood stream.

Yes, I had a laparoscopic nephrectomy and there are several clips left inside. They show up on X-Ray.

ask your doctor or surgeon

No, you would need to have a uterus to carry the baby.

No. A hysterectomy is done for other reasons rather than family planning.

When you can operate the pedals especially the brake without any pain. Usually about two weeks but differs with everyone. Don't put yourself at risk or other road users- take a short test drive on quiet roads when ready with another driver who can drive you home if you can't manage.

Yep! "Fraid so, Everybody out of the pool .But seriously, if you need to, it's all got to go. But I would still get a second opinion. If you have something that is time-sesitive, and want a second opinion, speak up when you make your appt, tell them you are already scheduled for surgery, even if your'e not. Get's them moving.

I hope your doc told you this means like instant meopause and unless you can't have them, you'll need supplemental hormones, preferably bioidentical, tailored just for you.Even so , you'll have some menopause symptoms. Read up on it and give the people closest to you all the info they need to deal with the new you. Ask all the questions you need to til you are satisfied you have all the answers you need to make the best decsion for YOU. It's gonna be rough for a while, I won't lie to you, but no worse than a C-section, and some woman somewhere is having one everyday. Best of luck to you.

No it is not. You no longer have a uterus in which to carry the baby. Before having a hysterectomy you might want to consider freezing some embryos if you would like to have children. These embryos could be implanted in a surrogate mother and you would be able to have children that way.

After any type of surgery you should not drink in till you are fully healed (just because the pain is gone doesn't mean your healed).In short ask your doctor, he/she will tell you if its okay. Drinking will just damage and prolong the healing process.

Yes! You absolutely can get std's after a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus and sometimes the ovaries as well. A sexually transmitted disease (std) is an infection which is transmitted sexually during intercourse; vaginal, anal or oral. During sexual contact a person who is infected passes the virus or bacteria to his/her partner via body fluids such as; semen, saliva, vaginal secretions, and blood. These diseases can include, but are not limited to; Chlamydia Gonorrhea HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis, Yeast and a host of other infections. Whether or not you have a uterus/ovaries does not preclude you from contracting these diseases as many of them pass into the blood stream and attack multiple sites within the body, not just sexual organs. If you think you may have had sexual contact with an infected person, you must seek medical help right away. Most of these diseases are symptom free initially, or mimic other conditions such as the flu. Some of these diseases are deadly, such as HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis. If you do not have health insurance, go to a community health clinic or Planned Parenthood. In some cases your cost may be waived or substantially reduced if you qualify financially.
