Hysterectomy yesterday

[Jack44]

I had a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oopherectomy yesterday at 3pm. The surgeon said my endometriosis was quite extensive and my ovaries and womb were stuck to my pelvis. I think thats what he said, i was a bit woozy. Op took less than an hour but recovery a further hour then back on the ward my bp was low and i was very weak and sickly. Not too much pain. Just on paracetamol and ibuprofen at mo and theyve given me codeine to take if i need it and movicol if i get constipated. Im home 24hrs later with a catheter in because my bladder wasnt fully emptying. I feel a little bit tired but otherwise fine considering. X

Hi

Hope you have speedy recovery and wishing you all the best. I am waiting to have my hysterectomy but going for second opinion for keyhole. I am having the hole lot removed. How long did you have wait for them to do hysterectomy?

Wishing you all the best.

My consultant 1st mentioned hysterectomy in october so quite quick really. I have private healthare through work though.

I had total abdominal hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis 9 months ago today and I now feel fantastic! Def well worth the discomfort you initially feel post op! Xx

I think your doing well if your able to cope with just those painkillers or to go home so quickly. I was in bed for weeks with a temperature when attempting anything and I didn't have a a Histo ! 4 mths before I could drive on long journeys of 2hrs . Good Luck, very brave. x
