Tricuspid regurgitation
Hi, I got the results from my Echo today and I have severe tricuspid regurgitation and was wondering if anyone could help with information. I have to wait to see a cardiologist but my doctor said that it might mean surgery. Would appreciate any information, Many thanks Heather x

Starting Statins.
I’ve had permanent AF for three years, now 78 and am on Apixaban and low dose bisoprolol as well as thyroxine and pramipexole for RLS . After recent blood tests Surgery decided I should be on Statins. Atorvastatin now perscibed but not started. Seems to be a safety net as Cholesterol is within normal

Severe mitral regurgitation
A few months ago I saw a consultant who decided I needed valve repair or replacement with open
heart
surgery
. They then decided this would be too risky for me and that I should have keyhole surgery.

coming off all hormones
hi warriors. I’ve bled for 73 days now since my surgery on 6th October. I’ve had options from my surgeon and they would effect fertility which I don’t want to do so we discussed coming off all contraception and using tranexemic acid on heavier days of my natural cycle. How many of you have used

Oesophageal Sphincter
Hello. My wife had gastro-oesophageal cancer 12 years ago and had surgery to remove the cancer. Thankfully all was successful and she leads a very normal life. As one knows, post surgery one cannot lie down flat as the oesophageal sphincter has been removed thus causing acid to come up from the stomach

After 16 years of pain I've been referred to gynae...
I'm 27 and I've endured debilitating pain during my period and ovulation and flooding during my period. The pain and bleeding rules my life. I'm finally seeing a gynae in March which is still so far away. I wonder when I'll be offered surgery? For YEARS I've been told that it's just ibs. I've given birth

pre diagnosis/waiting laparoscopy
I’m on the wait list for my first surgery for suspected endo and just wondering if anyone had any tips for coping whilst waiting? I feel so anxious waiting for a diagnosis even though all my symptoms point to endometriosis, experiencing so much pain but not knowing officially why is driving me crazy?

Slight bleeding from incision
Hi I am on day 11 now since surgery and still getting bleeding on top left and some yellowish discharge. Some of my stiches have also come away due to night errections. Is this normal and how long will it take to heel? I appreciate any advice please. I had my circumcision due to suffering phimosis. Thanks
