Hi, I will have a vaginal hysterectomy on Monday. I know it is les complicated then abdominal one, but I’m still worried very much. I would like to hear about some experiences, and how the recovery after this surgery looks like. Thanks

Hello, I had a vaginal hysterectomy a year ago. I had a severe bleeding and menstrual cramps. It was only a partial surgery, and just my uterus above the level of the cervix was taken out. I was in the hospital for two days, and the whole recovery lasted for four weeks. It wasn’t so difficult, because my husband helped me with dressing and walking. The recovery is much more difficult for those who have a total hysterectomy. It can last up to six weeks. After the operation, I had soreness around the operation site, and I was taking some painkillers. A doctor was encouraging me to go for small walks, and not to lay in bad the whole time.

I had a vaginal hysterectomy, and it was the easiest thing I have ever gonr through. I had no pain whatsoever, in fact it was hard for me to stay down, I felt good and wanted to get back to normal activity, which of course you can't for a few weeks.
Don't be afraid , you will do just fine. Just do what the doctor tells you after your surgery, that's the most impotant thing to remember. |

 I, too am finding it difficult not to just get on as usual after a total hysterctomy. I have to be reminded I had any kind of surgery at all, excellent. |

|
|
hallo rwennie,
if you happen to read this or anybody who had partial hysterectomy with their cervix still intact, like mine, i wonder if this can cause mini-periods?
2 days ago iwas scared to death when after 3 weeks from LAVH, my vaginal discharge was bright red!  It was only 1 day though, i think twas only like 2-3 teaspoons. But still it worried me bec it was not like the light red or brown-ish discharge i have since the OP.
Now i have again the light red/ brown-ish discharge & little less amount.
I am planning to visit my ob next week to have an explanation of the Report Letter from the HospitaL ( in German ). I feeL i need to know every DetaiL of the operation so to know what to expect.
I also would ask my Ob if Cervix can cause min period? Any experience from out there ??
thanks for some answers.. |
