Hysterectomy

My thoughts are hysterectomy but unsure of what the benefits would be and if symptoms would inface get any better. I have a family history of fibroids and endometriosis.

Also any tips on recovery, my surgeon told me I’m having a laparoscopic hysterectomy but the hospital sent me the preparation leaflet for an abdominal hysterectomy- so that’s another question I need answered. many thanks.

(Apologies if this is TMI) I am 19 days post full hysterectomy at 31. My recovery has been good so far and I am feeling good. I was extremely constipated a couple of days ago and I had to take extra laxido.

Seven weeks post op full hysterectomy. Still struggling and uncomfy trying to build up with things but soon exhausted. Had significant scarring numerous other ops with scarring pouch of Douglas obliterated by scarring and significant endometriosis.

A scan revealed that I also had adenomyosis which is why I ended up having a hysterectomy as the Prostap infections didn’t work, thus, the endo wasn’t the main cause of my symptoms. Having the Hysterectomy was the best decision of my life.

My previous consultant tried to do a hysterectomy in September 2023 and found endometriosis had fused my bowel to my cervix and ovaries so abandoned it and I went on Provera. I had 4 months of hell on Provera, and then went onto Zoladex which has changed my life.

Has anyone had a hysterectomy and still managed to run etc? Obviously when fully recovered!

She wants to discuss either partial or full hysterectomy. Is the way forward and are there any questions I should be asking her? I suffer with a lot of back pain (I have a tilted womb), pain on my right side from my cyst. I just know whether a hysterectomy will cure my symptoms.

hi all, sorry to make this post sound so dry but I am having a full hysterectomy in three weeks during one of the busiest parts of my job (well of course), and I need to get back to it asap. It’s a desk job so all I need to do is get from the car to my desk. also I am freelance so no sick pay.

Hi, I am currently waiting for a hysterectomy, been on the NHS waiting list for since August 2024, I just wondered on average how long you have to wait for the operation. I appreciate this is different for everyone and decided yo

Hi I’m after some advice on intercourse after a hysterectomy. I had laparoscopic hysterectomy over 10 weeks ago due to fibroids and adenomyosis, my recovery has gone well. All of my external scars are healed.

Hi all, I'm booked in for a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy next month and wondered if anyone will check my hormone levels as part of the follow up? I've been on Prostap injection for 2months now (due my 3rd this week) and have gained a stone already.

I'm 50 had a full hysterectomy (including ovaries) in February and was put on Oestrogel 8 weeks later. I was told I needed to wait due to blood clot risk. I really suffered Unfortunately my pelvic pain returned and my gynae diagnosed me with Endometriosis.

I need to make a decision whether I’m better getting everything removed, a hysterectomy, or if that won’t help. Please can anyone who has had a hysterectomy advise if it has helped with symptoms or not? my life is being ruined by endometriosis so I just need some relief :(

I am waiting on a hysterectomy. My pain has greatly reduced from the decapeptyl but I have had nasty side effects including swelling, odema and weight gain. Will these side effects subside once I stop the injection post surgery?
