26 Years Old And Booked In For Op In 4 Weeks Posted: 06-14-04 15:59pm
Hi, i've seen gyn today and he has told me
I need a hysterectomy. I am very young
but not so bad as me and my husband have
three wonderful children ages 6, 3 and 1.
I am looking ahead as I know I will have a
better quality of life but also scared as
hell.
Anyone else of a similar age to talk to.
Ps leaving my ovaries in.
After colposcopy and loop diathermy and
hysteroscopy and laparoscopy this is the
only answer after cin 3 cells and
horrendous bleeding and pain 2 weeks per
month.

Hysterectomy In 4 Weeks Me Too Posted: 06-20-04 13:14pm
Hi, saw your post and felt the need to
reply. I have been suffering from heavy
painful periods for 10 years and after all
the other interventions and suposed cures,
I made the decision in march to go for a
hysterectomy. I am 35 and have to
daughters of 11 and nearly 9 and was
sterilised when I was 28 so have no
worries about loss of fertility.
My op is on july 19th and to be honest I
am absolutely dreading it. I'm dreading
the pain, i'm dreading the scaring, i'm
worried my sex drive will dissapear and
that i'll put on weight, even though I am
leaving my ovaries, this worries me as I
get awful pms, but if I have them removed
I will go through menopause, which is not
a good thing in our family, no one gets on
with hrt and all suffer with terrible
symptoms, my mum thought she was going mad
at one point. I am looking forward to
not planning my life around my menstral
cycle though. Anyone who can give me any
positive feedback on this op is welcome to
email me or post a reply. I think its
just that i've put it out of my mind for
so long and yesterday realised that this
time next month i'll be in hospital on a
morphine drip!!
Sorry I bet you wanted someone to cheer
you up and now i've put you on a right old
downer. Sorry. No one here has a clue
how I feel and when they ask I give the
obligatory "oh fine thanks". I do have a
sense of humour honest!! Lol
