On My Way to Partial Hyst. Need Info Posted: 10-29-04 16:13pm
I am having a partial hyst. She is only
taking out my uterus. Im doing this
because of heavy periods, painful sex
sometimes,some fibriods and hot flashes
with sweats. I do not have to have this
procedure but I am deciding to do this to
get it over with. But I have 2 questions.
First of all I am very sexual and have
very deep orgasms I can feel the
contractions of them very strongly and so
can my husband. From what I understand
if your uterus is out you can not have
these type of orgasms. Is this correct?
This is very important to me.
My second question: I weigh about 108 and
have always been small, I have 2 kids, i'm
31. I came out unscathed after having my
kids, you cant tell I have had any. My
question is..Is it typical to gain weight
and how much? I wont be taking hormones.
What surgerys I have had in the past I
have bounced back pretty quickly.

I had a supracervical hysterectomy back in
august. Are you keeping your cervix?
Having your cervix removed can result in
slight vaginal shortening. You should
discuss keeping it with your doctor.
You will lose the uterine contractions you
experience during orgasm, but will still
have the strong vaginal contractions.
I've noticed that my orgasms have not
changed (they will be different for the
first few months post-op, don't be
alarmed, a lot of nerves and blood vessels
need to knit back together).
I'm 38 and weigh 135 pounds. I've weighed
about this much for the past 15 years. I
lost a little right after surgery but am
back at 135 and have resumed my exercise
regemine and have noticed no difference
with my metabolism. I belive the big
difference is for women who have their
ovaries taken out. Losing your ovaries
pre-menopause can wreak havoc on your
metabolism.

Take care.

Partial Hysterectomy Posted: 10-29-04 22:45pm
Hi I had a partial hysterectomy I guess
thats what they call it when you keep your
ovaries. I had everything else removed.
It's 8 weeks later now and when I had sex
for the first time after it was better
than before I had it. But I suffer from
endometreosis so anything would be better
than pain. I lost weight since having it
done also. About 10 pounds. Ive had a
variety of side effects afterward but it
was worth it . I'm 24 so I bounced back
pretty fast and feel much better. I hope
all goes well with yours.
