Quick update - Hysterectomy for me

[jennies]

I have had my gynae appointment and been given a 4 week course of Synarel nasal spray alongside an HRT pill, Elleste Solo. I have bled the whole time I have been taking the nasal spray and since the four weeks were up (3 days ago) I have heavy bleeding and horrible period pains, I had no other symptoms at all during the course and quite honestly don't see what the point of it was. I go back to my consultant on March 14th and he has written to my GP and told them at that point I will go on the list for a total hysterectomy. I am 49 in May so I don't see any reason not to go ahead.

Everything takes soooooo long.

Hi just wanted to say good luck for the hysterectomy. I'm having mine on 3rd March.

Is this being offered for endometriosis symtoms, a hysterectomy is not a cure for endo, you must make sure all your endo is thoroughly excised by a specialist first as this would probably be your best bet, I had a hysterectomy in July for Adenomyosis and have endometriosis too, I beleave that my endo hasn't been dealt with properly as I'm still in daily pain,

So please be aware that this might not help your situation, are you under a BSGE centre?

Hi, thanks for all the replies. I am under general gynae however my consultants specialism is endometriosis. The hysterectomy is to help with painful periods and when I have it done they will also deal with any new endometriosis that has recurred since my last lap 4 years ago. I also have some family history that would indicate a full hysterectomy would be advantageous.
