Epidural Hysterectomy
Posted: 09-15-04 08:36am

Hi everyone!

I am going to have to have a epidural(spinal block) hysterectomy. I am really worried, can someone who has had one give me some reassurance as to how it feels being awake. I would also like to know if you feel any better after it?

I would really appreciate it

thanks

Just curious as to why you are not being put out. Otherwise there is no reason for you to be awake. Do you feel better afterwards that is a good question. I would also like to know why you are having one done in the first place. Far to many times this procedure is being done and not needed . Keep me posted.

The reason I am not having a general is that my mother died through allergy to it. The reason I am having it is due to some small cysts being found that seem to be harmless, I dont know of any treament for them, do you?

Thanks

Hi, im 39, I have 4 kids..I have been having problems with alot of bladder infections and frequent fullness of the bladder, very uncomfortable and annoying!! I found out that my uterus/vagina is laying basically on my bladder, thats why im having uncomfortable fullness 24/7...My og/gyn is fabulous, hes been a Dr. For over 25 years, and has delivered all 4 of my kids..I trust his opinion more than other dr's I had or have..Hes doing a epidural partial on me, he does those with epidural..I had a epidural with 1 of my pregnancies, and it was great..I didnt feel a thing, which was good, she was 9lbs 6 oz...I didnt feel anything, he had to cut me and I felt nothing, didnt know she was out...Lol..So I doubt u will feel anything with epidural, if you could feel it, they wouldnt do them like that...I had an emergency c-section 4 years ago, and I didnt like the mask or the not knowing if my baby was gonna be ok when I woke up..Soo, im glad I will be awake for partial...Jamie
