Has anyone had a hysterectomy done laproscopically? |
I am a 35 yr old mother of 3. I am done having children. My OBGYN recently suggested I either remove 1 ovary or have a complete hysterectomy. I have ovarian cysts that are getting more and more painful. I have a strong family history of female cancers and would like to have a hysterectomy done by 40 anyways. I was wondering what other people have experienced with a hysterectomy, and or laproscopic surgery. My OB said i would not have to be cut and could either have it removed vaginally or totally laproscopically. I had mine done normally and it was ok but I developed an infection which wasn't good I didn't fancy it any other way and as I had fibroids it was the best way to have it done plus as a nurse I'd seen all ways of it done .......... I haven't but my mom had hers removed vaginally. She was glad she didn't have to be cut, but she still had the usual recovery time just less chance of infection and no scars etc. The only thing that really did hurt her was when they took the wadding out vaginally, the rest of the pain she had from the surgery was managed with painkillers. Sounds like you're making the best decision having it done though. good luck. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy myself. You should check out the website www.hystersisters.com. You can get lots of information there from many women who have had it done. Good luck! my aunts recently had hers done says it difficult to go toilet n hurts wen shes sitting spends most the day lying in bed thats all i no dont no if shes putting it on or if its that bad I had this done about 3 years ago. Laproscopically and vaginal is how my procedure was done. I spent one night in the hospital and went home the next day. I had a lot of swelling in my nether region and could not urinate on my own and had to be sent home with a catheter. It was a pain to deal with, but the pain of a bladder full of urine is something I could not tolerate. A week later I went back for an ultrasound of my bladder and everything looked okay so I was allowed to go home and take out the catheter, and advised to come back if I had any pain or had not urinated in 2-4 hours. Thankfully the swelling had gone down and I could go all by myself like a big girl: ) You will want to take it easy for the next 2-3 weeks. Not having a period is great and I love it. My periods made me feel ill and my uterus was enlarged, but non cancerous. Be aware of the hormonal drop you may feel like you are crazy and loosing your mind. The hormones may work themselves out over time, mine did. Be prepared for night sweats too. |
