My mother is about to have a total hysterectomy of her double womb-due to several problems over the last year, since she found out she had two wombs.
she is having everything removed and her overies.
This is due to take place next month.
she is very scared about the operation as she does not know what to expect due to the abnormality. i cannot find someone that has been through the same operation, or find much information about this procedure. is it as straight foward as a normal hysterectomy??
please could you tell me or advise me of the procedure, complications etc as she needs to know as peace of mind of what to expect.

many many thanks
concerned daughter

yes, there is no reason for it to be more complicated if it is just the uterus that is doubled.

The doctor will know this from ultrasounds.

The only thing I would question is the removal of the ovaries - if she can keep them then she definately should as they help prevent (or at least reduce) the need for hrt, reduce the risks of conditions such as osteoporsis.
Unless she is a risk for ovarian cancer/severe endo get her to ask her doctor about keeping the ovaries.

I Have Double Womb And Going to the Same Oper

Hi, I am due to have the same operation at the end of this month and I am also very worried. The only difference is I am able to keep my ovaries. I have also gone onto the internet but cannot find any details of a Double Womb Hysterectomy. I hope the operation goes well.
