A hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus, resulting in the inability to become pregnant (sterility). It may be done through the abdomen or the vagina.

Hysterectomy is a very common operation. The uterus may be completely or partially removed, and the tubes and ovaries may also be removed at the time of hysterectomy. A partial (or supracervical) hysterectomy is removal of just the upper portion of the uterus, leaving the cervix intact.

Most patients recover completely from hysterectomy. Removal of the ovaries along with the uterus in premenopausal women causes immediate menopause, and estrogen replacement therapy may be recommended

the average hospital stay depends on the type of hysterectomy performed, but is usually from 2 to 3 days. Complete recovery may require 2 weeks to 2 months. Recovery from a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy is faster than from an abdominal hysterectomy, and may include less pain

intravenous and oral medications are used after the surgery to relieve postoperative pain. A catheter may remain in place for 1 to 2 days to help the bladder pass urine. Moving about as soon as possible helps to avoid blood clots in the legs and other problems.

Walking to the bathroom as soon as possible is recommended. Normal diet is encouraged as soon as possible after bowel function returns. Avoid lifting heavy objects for a few weeks following surgery. Sexual intercourse should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks after a hysterectomy.

Oh sweetie its ok!! My mom is in surgery as we speak she has had a total of 19 surgeries and only 1 that had complications! She will do great and so will you! The first day she will be in alot of pain and pretty sick to her stomach so she probably won't want company til about the 2nd or 3rd day! I hope all gets better!

*one of her surgeries was to get a hysterectomy because she had cancer, and she is fine now, it hasn't spread!!

Everything will be okay, I promise. I had a total hysterectomy back in october 2003 (i was 19) due to colon cancer. My incision is through my abdomen and it is vertical. But your mom may have it done vaginally or through the abdomen. If it is through the abdomen she will probably have a bikini line incision and it will never show, even in a bathing suit. Mine was vertical because it was an emergency surgery.

I have done extremely well with the hysterectomy. Your mom will have to be on hormone replacement therapy, but that is not bad at all. I am on premarin 1.25mg, and I have had no trouble at all.

You are more than welcome to contact me if you have any questions, or if your mom has any questions. I will answer them the best I can. Again, don't worry, she will be fine.

Everything will be ok, but please make sure to keep us updated on her progress

The doctors say it could be when she got her tubes tied after she had my brother.... I just hope mine doesnt turn into cancer especially since im pregnant....Ill keep yall updated and thanks
