I am new to this site, just as many of you
ladies out there, I also had a Partial
Hysterectomy in 2003. I was Left with only
one ovary, at the beginning I had hot
flashes, mood swings and absolutely had no
desire for sex. My husband tells me I
should become a Nun!!! When I spoke to my
OBGYN, she told me that the only thing
that might help is getting on the pill.
That would also help me with my policystic
ovary.
However the hot flashes are gone, the rest
stayed with me. I am 29 I was blessed
with 2 beautiful kids before having
surgery. Before starting to read some of
the e-mails posted here, i really though I
was CRAZY!! Thinking I might be
pregnant!! My breast is a bit larger, my
stomach is the size of a 4-5 month
pregnant woman. I know that part of me
desperately want another baby, I miss the
feeling of it, even though I had a
horrible pregnancy with my son. But now
after reading some of the messages of
similar situations as mine , I think I
should get checked. Thank you All, for
sharing your stories with everyone, I am
glade to know that there are others out
there willing to help and support me.
I will let you all know what happens.

Welcome Pesci,
I hope you keep in contact with us here to
let us know your outcome. I too am having
the same symtoms as far as my stomach
being distended as if I'm four to five
months pregnant.
I don't have any ovaries left being I had
a full hysterectomy back in 05.
I get crampy from time to time as if I'm
going to get my period. Back in Dec. I had
to go to the ER for abd. pain and they
found I have right kidney hydronephrosis,
and that I possibly was passing a very
small stone PLUS the radiologist saw a 2cm
cyst on my right ovary.
I don't have any ovaries inside.
I"m wondering if my stomach is getting so
distended by the cyst he saw inside? I'm
wondering if maybe it's grown? or did it
go away? I'm left with these questions and
I haven't been able to get any medical
follow up since that day in the ER
because i have no insurance due to loss of
job back in sept.
I have a new job that I just started on
monday and I"ll have medical insurance in
3 months from now.
do you think your distension is caused by
your cystic ovary?
are you getting any other symtoms of a
cyst? when I had ovaries, I had chronic
cysts on them too. I lost one ovary due to
it becoming ruined along with the tube, so
when Ihad my hysterectomy, they removed
the only one I had left because it was
causing so much problems with a
hemorphagic cyst that just wouldn't go
away.
what type of cysts do you have?
sorry for all the questions I"m throwing
at you.
I"m curious to see what's going on with
you and the end results.
I hope you come back and post to us when
you're thru with your check up.
I wish you the best outcome.
sincerely,
Linda

A distended stomach is quite common after
a hysterectomy and would not be the first
symptom of an ectopic pregnancy. However,
there is no risk of becoming pregnant when
you've had a partial hysterectomy.
I hope you go see your doctor and get
yourself a check up.
