Hysterectomy at 45
Rowan:
If at all possible keep your ovaries, especially if having a hysterectomy before natural menopause.
Tinks67:
Ovaries are going too ......
Babylon Burning:
Tinks, I forgot to mention post op trapped wind which can be very painful. I tried the peppermint tea option but it made me nauseous. Try to walk as much as you can, as this will help to get things going.
Tinks67:
Hey babylon - I remember the trapped wind from 3 laps, not so great lol! Will give the peppermint tea a try, thanks :)

I sucked heaps of polo mints as peppermint tea made me nauseous. Any peppermint would probably do though, depending on your preference.
I was probably rather naive when I got mine done, I was just so relieved to finally be rid of pain and bleeding. I'm talking some 22 years ago now. Wish this site had been around back then.
As BB says walk around as much as possible afterwards but no housework! :) Good excuse to have someone else do it for you for a while.
