Some advice please
My consultant has advised that my options now are to have a
hysterectomy
and/or possible bowel surgery. He is reluctant to do the
hysterectomy
because of my age and I don’t have a family. Has anyone else been in this situation? If so, what did you decide to do? Thank you

Hernias
However I blame the initial surgical team for not cautioning me about hernias. 30% of
hysterectomy
patients regardless of cancer get hernias as the muscle tissue has been compromised. I learned that abdominal braces should be worn for 6 months and control panties ever after learned the hard way.

Living with Endo.
If I had surgery to remove this, then I could end up with a colostomy bag and a full
hysterectomy
. I tried IVF 5 times but no eggs, i then tried IVF with donor eggs all top grade but no pregnancy at all.

Is HRT so bad?
I told a friend yesterday that I might need a
hysterectomy
(for Endo), and she said ‘oh I do hope not as you will be put on a very strong dose of HRT - surely there’s another option?’. What’s the big deal with going on HRT? Maybe I am not clued up enough but should I be more scared of it?

Prostap and bleeding
I’m on prostap 3monthly and add back tibolone for a max of 2years then a
hysterectomy
. I’m on my second injection and so far everything has been great, minimal pain and side effects seemed to have calmed down with HRT. However tonight I felt the dreaded feeling, I have started to bleed!

Decapeptyl concerns
I understand some folk go on it to tide them over til a
hysterectomy
but am hoping to avoid that and see if i can ride this out til menopause comes naturally (I'm 42) anyway, after asking again what the alternatives were she finally she offered the option of the mini pill and basically left it to me

How to increase my platelet count naturally
Since my
hysterectomy
my CA125 has decreased from 157 (prior to my
hysterectomy
) to the teens now and was told today all my other levels were OK. The hospital said it's the chemo that has caused my platelet count to drop.

Left side pelvic pain will not go away
*I did have a
hysterectomy
2 yrs ago. My primary doc wonders if it could be scar tissue? Could it really be that simple? 🤷🏻♀️

How to support someone going through chemotherapy
First diagnosed in 2017, had
hysterectomy
, recurred in 2019 and had a hormone treatment followed by chemotherapy in 2020. She’s now been told the tumours are growing again and will have to have chemotherapy again.

Start Over or Decrease Dose
(I am also estrogen dominant due to being put on oral estradiol with no progesterone for many years after a
hysterectomy
, so trying to sort that out as well. I am on compounded estrogen and progesterone now for close to 3 weeks.)

Cyst complications
I was already on the waiting list for surgery but he seemed to think I needed to be treated as a more urgent case. apparently my ovaries are now so damaged they touch and it looks like i will need at least a partial
hysterectomy
- a big shock at 32. the doctor mentioned they could give me some injections

Nervous surgeon etc
In June 1951 I was doing School Certificate exams, meanwhile my mother age 51 had a
hysterectomy
operation. Afternoon, day of the op hospital rang school to say that her heart was failing and I should get to hospital as soon as possible.

Appointment with Gynae- who clearly wasn’t interested
Honestly I felt like the guy wasn’t all that interested, he barely even asked me my symptoms, he didn’t even ask how bad or where my pain was , he told me I had adenomyosis from an internal exam and then basically said there is no cure other than a
hysterectomy
or hormonal contraceptives which I refused
