Recovery from bilateral ovary and Fallopian Tube removal

[Sandygirl6697]

Hi, I had a laparoscopy 3 weeks ago along with removal of both Ovaries and Fallopian tubes. During the procedure it was found that my ovaries were “stuck” to pelvic tissue. This meant the op took longer than expected. This would explain the excruciating pain I had been in, along with struggling to walk and stand for longer than a few minutes. I seem to be recovering well from the op but do still have quite a bit of pain in my right hand side going into my hip, I’m also extremely tired. My consultant advised that I should be back to doing normal activities after 2-3 weeks, I’m hoping to get back to work next week but just feel wiped out. Am I being pathetic? Perhaps I just need a good talking to 😊. Any advise would be greatly appreciated fellow warriors x

Have you had your hormone levels checked. If your ovaries are removed you may need put back therapy

Not yet, my consultant said this would have to wait until my next consultation with him, which is on 9th April. I did think perhaps I should have been given something straight away as had been told before op that I would go straight into the menopause.

Consider getting Testosterone too. It’s very important…. look at the NICE guidelines for getting it on the NHS but the easier route and better product is via the Newson Clinic if you can stretch to it.

I know this is an odd post. My ovaries are stuck along with bowel attached tomuterus with adhesion. Did you have daily pelvic pain and pain when walking with the ovaries being stuck?
