can a partial hysterectomy make major changes in your life?

I recommend getting the book "The Edge Effect" by Dr. Eric Braverman, MD. It's all about the neurotransmitters in your brain. My guess is that you are supremely deficient in GABA, which is typically not diagnosed properly and leads to post-partum depression which can last for years, debilitating. Take the test in the book and then follow the advice to get the appropriate help. My client said it saved her life, her marriage and her commitment and love of her child getting her GABA situation straightened out. Find a doctor that is qualified to help specifically with neurotransmitter imbalances too, even Dr. Braverman himself!!! Good luck!

I had a partial hysterectomy 4 years ago! My life hasn't been the same since! Amongst other horrible things I barley leave the house! I have horrible panic attacks! And I can no longer work! I had a great job for year's! Having a hysterectomy whether I have an ovarie or not has completely ruined my life! I'm a total different person!

Do a women's comprehensive II to check your thyroid and estrogen levels. Your ovaries and your thyroid balance each other. Once you messed with your ovaries you messed with your thyroid. I am on Naturethoyd 30mg day and DIM to naturally boost my estrogen production and I supplement with bio-identical estradiol cream but very little.

I am relieved that I have read these posts. I had a hysterctomy 2 years ago and I have NOT been the same. Every ounce of my happiness and bit of regular joy is gone. I feel empty. I feel like a robot waking up every day and honestly I keep waiting and waiting for for my normal self to come back. Thte feeling is that of auto pilot. I would kill to have my old self back - huge fibroids and all. I didn't know this would happen. I feel like a shell of my former self. I convinced myslef that this si a low grade depression that will eventually go waway - that this this is a phase and my old slef - my old brain and my regular feelings and personaility will come back but they haven't. It is terrifying me. I'm an alcoholic so I cannot drink which I would just so I could get a break for a few hours. I sleep as long as I can and dread waking up but I have to so I can ake care of the pets my husbadn and I have - and also to apply for johbs. I eventlly have to go back to work. I cannot snap out of this. Had no idea that my uterus was critical to my emotions and im MY case (I am not speaking for anyone else) - but for me - I need my uterus to feel ok. I am not ok - God help me.I am taking some antidepressants but they are not returning me to what I feel is my former self. Anyhow - sorry to run on like this - but thank you all for listening and for your posts so I feel a little less alienated. I amy thinking of trying some of the natural remedies that have been mentioned just to see if anything can kick start feeling human (or Judy-like) again. I am 51 and had the op at 49. Am unemployed to make things worse with no health insurance - my confidence at all time low and again - empty robot like feeling since the op. Ok - nuff. Thanks again...If there are any suggestions or if anyone thinks that it may take 3 years for feeling ok to come back please advise...

My problem is new symptoms since the surgery.. ovaries are in tact. Still pain in left side. Hurts when I have to urinate, trouble having bowel movements, feel full, pressure and bloated. Have chills and left side back ache. Since my surgery in July of 2014 have had no xray, no ct, no ultrasound. . Only labs that are all normal. My gynecologist can't help me she says and my family dr sent me to general surgeon to be cut open and explored.. i said no.. i scheduled an appointment with a urologist and a colon dr myself.. this is a new problem since my surgery.. I'm frustrated and just want a Dr to look at my history and find this..i still have my ovaries and had the DiVinci surgery.. frankly, I'm scared because I have had abnormal paps and I have not been reading good thing g s about this procedure. I swear something was nicked in surgery.. I'm happy to not have a period and ovulation pain and period pain is gone, but idk which is worse at this point.. before I had 2 good weeks a month, and now I have none.. see first specialist next week.

So why is insurrity and mood swings such a problem???? Should I have had a fool hesterectomy in stead a partial hesterectomy???

How are doing today?

I've been 4 years no better than when I had my surgery either

I had a partial hysterectomy 18 years ago ages 32. Looking back I changed from a very quiet and pleasant person into someone I really didn't recognise. I became angry, paranoid, restless, agitated, impatient and so much more it's hard to list them all. It's only now at the age of almost 51, having spent the last 2 years in full menopause and now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel that I've realised that I was a completely different and not a nice person. I felt I was being strong but I wasn't I had totally changed as a person. I have spent the last 2 years in full menopause and to say it's been traumatic is an understatement. I felt suicidal, fat, ugly and basically an emotional wreck. I self harmed and just wanted to die, I kept thinking of just not waking up any more. I don't know how I coped to be honest apart from my partner who was the most understanding and emotional rock that got me through. I didn't know what was wrong with me for the best part of 20 years culminating in the actual full menopause. No one ever told me this might happen or ever helped me. I've been to doctors, physchiatrists and such who all said I just had to get my life more organised. It's only now that the manic is less and less that I can see it all for what it was and is. I'm lucky, I made it out the other side but how many undocumented women haven't. Someone I know who is the same age as me took her own life. I'm not saying it was the menopause at all but if she felt anything like I did then you feel your going mad and no one believes you or helps you. No one would ever have convinced me that what was happening in my head wasn't real. Sometimes in my clear moments I could rationalise it and know eventually I was being unrealistic or such but that just gives way to the feeling your going mad. I spent so long trying to get someone to take me seriously even after I had been prescribed hrt 2 years ago and although this helped it didn't take the feelings and emotions away. Now my symptoms have reduced although not disappeared but that's mainly down to the fact that maybe my menopause is finally coming to an end. Please get help scream, shout, kick up a fuss, make them notice you and take you seriously because the truth is without my partner I wouldn't be here. A

I know it's been quite some time but did the treatment work?

That's horrible. I am praying for you.

It's not the partial hysterectomy.... You have marital problems.... Get a divorce and a life.

So what are you using now

my wife had a partial hyster when she was in her 20 and i was in 20 we been together for 38 years she mentally abused me for the 15 years i tell her that the sex is better than ever

IM 42 years old I had an partial hysterectomy in 2012 and over the years I have become addicted to sex that all I do is think about it and engage in it and I'm never satisfied I watch porn 80 percent of the time and I also masterbate what is wrong with me
