Experiences with

Ovary removal

Hi all, I am 41 and have had severe endometriosis since I was a teenager. 4 years ago I had a hysterectomy and endometriosis excision but kept one ovary. Everything was great for ages, still is really, I'm in 90% less pain but now I have a large endometrioma cyst on my remaining ovary which I'm having

So February this year I had a major operation to remove everything ovaries, womb the lot. Plus bowel surgery. I had a stoma until August and I have recently had an operation to reverse it back. Just the other day I noticed I had similar symptoms to when I had endometriosis. I’m very scared that it’s

I’m due to get full hysterectomy and ovary removal so will go into surgical menopause. In the meantime I will take Synarel to hopefully combat the pain. I’m very nervous about any possible side effects or long term effects of the drug so would love to hear anyone’s experiences. Thank you x

Since 2017 I only had fairly mild twinges but in the last 6 months my pain levels have returned to almost as bad as they were before my ovary removal. After the hysterectomy I specifically asked my gynae doctor if he had cut out all the endo and he said yes, I'm not sure I believe him.

Hi I am due for total abdominal hysterectomy and ovary removal at the end of this month and will force me into surgical menopause. Just wondered if anyone else on here with liver problems had undergone this operation and whether it had caused any issues with their health? Thanks

I had a telephone consultation a couple of weeks ago (not face to face because of lockdown) The Consultant explained that I would need a full hysterectomy with ovary removal as I suffer from severe migraines and can’t take hormone therapy. (I do think the migraines are related to endo!!)

I’ve had an MRI recently which shows my Rectovaginal endo has reoccurred after hysterectomy and bilateral ovary removal. My gynaecologist think the risks of further surgery may outweigh the benefits. She has treated me for years in a BSGE specialist centre and I trust her implicitly.

Hi, Just trying to get my head round my options. I’m due to have an op to remove the endo on my bowel & will probably have a hysterectomy (due to adenomysis) and one ovary removed. I said that I’d prefer to keep my right ovary (which is healthy apparently) as I thought if I do that I might be able

Hello lovely ladies, I hope you are all managing to keep well and are staying safe. I had major debulking last year (June 2019) aged 49. I had started having intermittent hot flushes before I was diagnosed (stage 3c high grade) but after my op. the Menopause really really kicked in. I'm really struggling

Evening everyone Just wondering if anyone might be able to tell me which method might be the most likely that the surgeon will use to perform my hysterectomy. I am waiting for an appointment at St Mary’s Manchester and they have told me it is likely to be December before I get an appointment but I’

Hiya, I'm 27 years old, just been diagnosed with early stage uterine cancer and as it's estrogen positive, I will be unable to commence hormone replacement therapy after my hysterectomy (inc. uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and removal of both ovaries). Any advice and help on how to mentally prepare

I was diagnosed with ovarian/peritoneal cancer 14 months ago. Surprising as I had bilateral oophorectomy (and tubes) removed 10 years ago due to benign cysts. It was considered to be inoperable and I had the full round of chemo and all the miseries that go with that. I was very fortunate after this to
