Years Later Posted: 12-28-05 17:15pm
Hello ladies..
I am new to this site as of today. I had
my hysterectomy in 1995. A blocked ureter
caused an infection leading to a second
sugery where the surgeon nicked my
bowel... A dozen sugeries later,
colostomy, kidney, and bladder....I find
myself still struggling . My colostomy
was reversed and my insides have not like
the new arrangment since. . I have
shelved my feelings (and we all know how
that works) for many years being told I
should be well by now. For some reason my
body has not heard this message becasue
ten years later I still have a
vaginal/colon fistula that refuses to
heal. I do know there are many questions
a woman should ask after her surgery.
Thank you ladies for any support and god
bless.

Hi. I am so sorry for all your suffering
as I am too familiar with it all myself.
I had a complete hyst in 1997 after
ovarian cysts that showed up on ultrasound
and since I was 44 the doctor scared me
with the big c word. Well after waiting
30 days and being a mental mess I had the
surgery and the cysts were gone but he
felt since I was 44 I wouldn't need those
useless parts so he took them all! Plus
cut my bladder. I had a second surgery to
unglue my bladder from my insides ,i had
severe pain that wouldn't leave. Well the
second surgery didn't help either and over
the last 9 years I have had too many
things done to list but a lot of the
procedures were around my constant pain in
my bladder area and the feeling like I had
a severe bladder infection. I had dmso
with all kinds of stuff put in my bladder
and it actually made it worse. I tried
accupuncture, physical therapy with
electrical stim in the vagina, after
several years had super muscle but still
the same old pain. I have developed
various medical problems, thyroid growths,
liver lesions, swallowing problems now my
bones are going in my neck which has
caused numb hands and feet. I know all
these conditions are from the surgery and
having all the natural hormones taken from
me, I will tell some good news however, I
have been on estrogen replacement since
day one, always the patch, I had to
decrease the amount 2 years ago when they
found a spot on my liver but during the 2
years I have noticed significantly reduced
pain to where I almost feel normal (can't
remember what that is though) these
doctors are so quick to so surgery on all
of us women who are scared to death about
what could happen to us if we don't, but
after it is all done they treat us like
hysterical women! The wonderful doctor
who did my surgery told me after I wasn't
getting any better, that I had a problem
losing my uterus! I could have punched
him! I know there are too many women out
there who went through this surgery and
have ended up worse. I was only married 6
months when I had this happen and I have
not had sex since because of the pain it
causes, plus the loss of libido, . I keep
thinking one of these days they will have
a surgery to transplant our organs back in
place to where we could be our selves
again! Hang in there and know you aren't
alone, I have encountered many women
through the years of searching for answers
that have the same problems and even
worse. Wishing you better health

Thank you so much for sharing .You seem to
have an excellent attitude. Reading your
reply promted me to persue (again) hormone
replacement. I have been on various
prescriptions with the last being
discontinued by a doctor who left me
scared to take it. This is a good place
to learn and share..I wish the best to all
those who read this.
