I am a truly miserable 40 year old female! April of 2006, I had surgery to remove my fallopian tubes. I have really heavy periods, with terrible clotting which normally last at least seven days. I am severly anemic. February 7th , 2008, I had surgery to remove my right ovary due to mulitple cysts, had a Bartholins gland cyst in my inner vaginal lips removed by laser, and a D&C and Nova Sure procedures done. The next day after the outpatient surgery I ended was rushed back to the hospital due to high temperature, extreme pain, steadtily rising blood pressure. I was admitted and styed for 6 days. I was told it was due to a bacteria infection called Group B Hepatitis. Today is March 1, 2008, and I am still having what I feel to be abnormal pain, especiaaly on the left side and this awful reddish-pink thick discharge. The place where the glandular cust was excised is still open and painful. I have taken the course of Flagyl and am truly disgusted with my body. I did not know the right questions to ask my doctor but he really didn't offer much inforamtionon recovery time and consequences of all of these procedures. Someone please help me with knowledge on if this is normal. When will I be able to resume normal healthly activites: exercising, intercourse, playing with my students, dancing, etc.... :cry:

I would be terrified of dealing with all you've been put thru already. To the effect that your current doctor is not communicative to the level of keeping you informed and knowledgeable about your healing, I would find it to be in my best interest to get a 2nd opinion. You'll probably have to sign waivers to release your information -- your 2nd opinion dr would need your pre and post op report, any ultrasounds and medical history already captured by the treating surgical gyn.
Your health is your responsibility and it's only in your best interest to get a dr that is not up to your standards. Do what you would do if you had a lousy mechanic -- see a better one! In your case, one that is better suited to your needs as a patient. Check with your insurance site first to see what doctors are included in their network so you don't have unexpected financial hit on top of all this.
I wish you the very best in treatment and healing.
