My mom has been having troubles with her
stomach and we thought she was pregnant
since she had to have an ultrasound and a
whole bunch of other tests done well she
got the ultrasound and a papshmer and a
cloposcopy(scope thing) and two
biopsies(sp?) and all her tests came back
abnormal..And she asked if what she has is
genetic because I have a mild case of
whatever it is just they dont know what I
have. She has a tumor on her ovarie and
something is wrong with her cervix and is
gonna have to have a histerectamie(sp?)
and I dunno the doc said that hers is
cancerous(sp?) and thats from doin the
cloposcopy and that makes me worried since
I had one and they found a mild case of
it(didnt say what the mild case was). Im
worried about the whole surgery thing
though...Will she be alright? Well I
gotta go class is over thanks for
listening ladies...Love yall

Oh im so sorry to hear about this  i'm not really
knowledgable on this topic but I could
look around and try to find some
information for u. I do know however that
my teacher had an ovarian cyst or somethin
and they had to remove her ovary and she
did great afterwards. I dont know if its
the same thing but i'll try and find
something and I wish u all the best.
Sorry again to hear this

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.
Risks
risks for any anesthesia are:
reactions to medications
problems breathing
risks for any surgery are:
bleeding
infection
other risks that can occur during
hysterectomy include:
injury to the bladder or ureters
injury to bowel

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.
Megan
