Hi, From Sherri ! Posted: 03-09-07 12:33pm
I had a complete historectomy in 05, I'm
47 now. I was in so much pain that I
couldn't function without pain meds. The
docs thought I might have had
endometriosis, and knew that I had fibroid
tumors, small ones.They told me that I
shouldn't be experiencing pain at the
level I complained of! HA, they should
have been in my body!
When they did my historectomy they
actually found that my bladder was
completely attached to my uterus from scar
tissue from my 2 c-sections. Luckily I had
decided to have a bladder sling to help
the loss of urine when I worked out,
coughed or laughed to hard. So I had two
doctors in there at the same time. Lucky
me. (I thought as long as they're going
to be down there)
The historectomy was the best thing I ever
did. No more pain, none! Yes, I gained
weight but I think that's due to my not
working out and totally eating everything!
I recommend the procedure if you're in
pain. Get the best doctor on your side,
one that will answer your questions!
The hardest part for me was hormone
replacement therapy. I hadn't gone
through menapause and it took a while to
find the right prescription. But we did
and things are great now.
