Title: Hysterectomy success stories
Post by: Nas on June 24, 2023, 02:55:07 PM

Well things are not going too well in the gynae department.

I’ve had god awful stabbing/ gnawing/ twisting pain in my
left side since Feb.

Had a CT for kidney function (??) and they are working fine. A bulky uterus was diagnosed.

GP should have referred me for an ultrasound on Thursday but she messed up the referral and I’ve got to start the whole rigmarole with a different GP on Monday! I’m requesting a full pelvic scan. Along side this pain, I’ve got nausea and abdominal pain  :-\

Something tells me fibroids ( I do have one apparently and on the same side as the pain) or ovarian cysts/ growths etc. a bulky uterus rings alarm bells for me.

If I’m riddled with disease or other stuff I want a hysterectomy.

Any success stories? How long did it take for you to get your surgery? What was the recovery time like?

Thanks.

No this is gynae related I think.
God alone knows what’s going on!

Just hell on earth. Death is preferable to all this im going through  :'(

Oh and I have a thyroid goitre which has potentially caused Horners in my left eye, so lid is drooping. Melasma on my face. Pain in my side ( probably ovarian bloody cancer!) and the general fuckery of menopause!!!

Morning.  Hyster-sisters web-site might be worth a lookC?  Feeling constantly ill is draining.  I remember it well  :-\  :'(.  Thought that I would never recover.

At least you probably won't require progesterone if you opt for major surgical intervention.

No pressure, Nas.  Not been on the forum much lately & PM notification to email is erratic at the mo, but I log on to check now & then.
