Hysterectomy - Scared to Death Posted: 12-17-03 14:34pm
Hello,
i am scheduled to have a hysterectomy on
the 29th of this month. My doc said that
he would do a bikini cut incision. I was
told that you can do a vaginal
hysterectomy also. Can anyone tell me
what is the best way to go or has anyone
had a vaginal hysterectomy before? What's
the difference between the two? Thanks,
I hope to hear from anyone with some
advice.

Dont Be Scared Posted: 12-22-03 17:29pm
Hi
just read your post, I had a total
abdominal hysterectomy last november, I am
35 years old and I was frightened to death
by the thought of it, so I know how you
are feeling, I was cut as I couldnt have a
vaginal hyster as I had my ovaries taken
along with everything else, and I was told
that because I was having everything taken
away I had to have abdominal surgery,
vaginal surgery was not an option so maybe
this is why you have to be cut on the
bikini line too?
I am fully recovered now 12 months later
and have been on hrt evoral50 patches
since day 3 of my surgery and I feel so
much better.
But a little advice I must give
you.........After your operation do not
run before you can walk, take things
steady and your recovery will not take too
long
i wish you all the best and if I can help
you with any info then please dont
hesitate to contact me
take care

I am scheduled for march 2004. I am
having a vaginal hyst. Since they are not
taking my ovaries. However, I have major
repair to be done since I have had
prolapse for the past 20 years. I am 49.
I have come to terms and feel good about
my decision, but my husband does not want
me to do it.
Did you have a support team or person?

6 Weeks After Hysterectomy - I Feel Great Posted: 02-10-04 17:06pm
Hello,
well I had my hyst on the 29th of
december. Everything went well and so
far I have not had any problems. I get
hot flashes and some night sweats but it's
nothing that I can't handle. Also, I am
not on any hormone medication at all. My
doctor thought that I would come running
to him for some meds but I feel that I can
do it without being placed on the hormone
pill. So far so good.
I'm still kind of tender in that area but
other than that I feel great. No
complications or problems. If anyone
have a question, please don't hesitate to
write me.
