Hi ladies I’m due to have a hysterectomy,looking to be done in January all being well as discussed with my endo consultant tonight.
I have endo and adeno had 3 surgeries, on zoladex at the moment with hrt have bad days like most of us.
I know this isn’t a cure for the endo but will surely help with some of my pain as I have adeno also.
Can you ladies tell me how you are after having a hysterectomy?
Hi there. Are you having a full hysterectomy with removal of ovaries as well? I had mine in March for cysts , polyps and fibroids but once in surgery they discovered level 4 endometriosis all over my ovaries, Fallopian tubes, womb lining, appendix, bladder and bowel . After 4 hours all of the adhesions were removed from my organs with no damage and it was just easier to remove my appendix ... also my omentum which if the fatty layer in front of my organs as this was covered too . It was tough but it comes with much relief. I haven’t had any pain since at all, none whatsoever and with no ovaries , they are not producing estrogen for endometriosis to grow .. it’s unlikely to return but I am not having HRT as that may stimulate it . I’m 45 so it’s a little early for the menopause, that’s the only down side as that is a battle but getting things calmed down by seeing a clinical herbalist. (But I am always got forums trying to get tips and ideas!) ...... It’s the best thing that could have happened to me as I feel like a new woman in many ways!! I don’t know your situation in terms of what type of surgery (ovaries left or not ) but it certainly was the best option for me ... let me know if you have any queries, I have some good tips for hospital and recovery . Good luck!
Hi thank you so much for your reply, yes I will be having ovaries removed I have to stay on HRT as I’m 27, so glad it’s helped you☺️ please let me know about the hospital tips, thanks x
