Hi ladies - just got back from my last ever consultation with my lovely GP who is leaving the practice today. We spent ages catching up with news of her family and mine before getting down to my reason for visiting (I was the last patient so not holding anyone else up).
I mentioned that the IBS is much worse since my hysterectomy and she agreed that there is lots of evidence to show that hysterectomy affects the bowel in many different ways. She then said that hypnotherapy is often effective as a treatment so I'm going to make an appointment with a therapist she recommended. Not sure of the cost but I really want to crack this!!
Has anyone else had hypnotherapy for bowel conditions? I'm hoping we might be able to address the anxiety as well. I must admit I read the info on the website and when I got to "each consultation lasts around an hour" I felt my stomach tense up. An hour!! In one place with one person!! Breathe....
