Hello all. I am new to this site so was after some advice. I am 35 years old and for the past 4 years ive had a number of health issues ranging from Diverticular Disease,Kidney stone,Depression,Back pain and chronic pelvic pain Im due to have a Bilateral Salpingo Oophorectomy at the weekend and I am really scared. I have had laparoscopies in the past and I have been fine with them but this operation I am really worried about. Has anyone had this operation before?

Is this your tubes and overies removed,

I'm sure you will be just fine, I had a total hysterectomy , in July and I recovered really well, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be,

For what condition are you having this op?

Will you be going on hrt, ?

Good luck

Xx

Thanks for the reply. Yes having both ovaries and both tubes removed. My doctor put me on prostap injections for 6 months to shut my ovaries down to see how the pain was. My pains stopped so thats how he knew it was my ovaries that have been causing all this trouble. Yes i have to be on hrt til i am 51. Thank you tboag i will keep you posted xxx

Hi, just a quick message to say I had my op last Saturday and it went well. I was in a lot of pain when I came home but its getting better apart from one of my wounds being infected. Also started my HRT today as these hot flushes are a nightmare xxx

Hi Caroline that's great to hear that you have recovered well and that you are going back to work. That is one thing that I didn't experience 'the bad bleeding' might be because i've got the Mirena coil in. The hot flushes are a nightmare so hopefully these tablets will start working soon. I've got an infection from the op and I did last time as well so now I am on antibiotics. Thanks for replying, sending love and hugs back and take care xxx
