 Posted: 12/21/06 - 00:00 Post subject: Post Hysterectomy Symptoms |
 |
|
I am going to have hysterectomy next week. I am 57 years old. I am not scared just little worried what will happen after. I took a long time before I decided to do this. I would like to hear from someone who recently had what post surgery symptoms I can expect. Thank you.

I had hysterectomy a month ago. I feel great now. I can resume all activities with the exception of intercourse and lifting. I have lost some weight after surgery. Symptoms in post surgery period I had are soreness and some discharge. I still have light pink discharge off and on.

I had a total hysterectomy and removal of my ovaries (due to poss ovarian cancer, turns out it was endometriosis) four weeks today!
I feel absolutely fine now, the odd stitch feeling now and again when i try to lift things that are to heavy, but no other problems. Experience slight nerve sensativity near the scar. Staples removed did not hurt 10 days after surgery.
It took a while for my bowel to settle so ate little and light, resulting in loosing a stone in weight. Was quite swollen.
Immediately after surgery, once catheter was removed, experienced wind and very loose stools, seemed everyone on the ward experienced the same after similar op.
Was aware of possible surgery menopause (am young), but apart from hot nights, didnt experience anything else. Now on estrogen only HRT, again no problems.
Just take it easy and let everyone else do things for you until you are ready. Walking is good no matter how uncomfortable. Just be sensible, it is major surgery after all. Good luck and remember you will feel so much better as the weeks go on after the op.

| I had a total abdominal hysterectomy because cancer was found in a tumor in one of my ovaries. I woke up sore from the surgery. The drugs made me constipated for weeks. I wasn't able to eat much/ Two months later, I am fine and on hormone replacement. |

| My surgery was Dec. 12, 2007. I am 26 years old. I had everything removed except ovaries. My post op was great. My nurse said she wished more hyst. patients were like me. No problems at all, until I started getting cysts on my ovarie. Now monthly, I am getting them. I will find out if one ovarie will be removed. I feel so much better than before the hysteroctomy even with the cysts |
