Thanks so much Tan and everyone for your details of your hysterectomy as I too have undergone this procedure bc of fibroids. I had a full abdominal procedure but left my ovaries in tact, now 2 months later I've experienced some of the worst cramps. ..ugh. I hope they do get better and guess I should try eating more salads and exercise but without hormone therapy to ease my bowel movements and such. Good luck everyone!

My surgeon mentioned that if they leave the cervix, up to 15% of women after TAH can have some spotting during cycle.

It's been years since my surgery and I cramp every month the same as I did before my surgery. I still have one of my ovaries.

I had a total hysterectomy 24 years ago due to endometriosis and fibroids and pre cancer cells. Every month prior to my surgery I had horrible left sided pain but the sad part is I still have the monthly pain. Lower left side radiating into my back. I gave up years ago trying to figure it out every few years the pain would get to me and I would try and find a reason. One doc said a remnant of the ovary may have been left behind. I don't know. It's driving me crazy!

I️ had a total hysterectomy June 29, 2017 and have recently been experiencing terrible cramps - can’t find any info on why this is happening.

I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy with removal of my cervix and fallopian tubes (kept both ovaries...I’m 31 & no kids) almost 6 months ago due to severe Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. I initially felt amazing. My surgeon verified that I made the right choice. About 3 weeks ago...I had “menstrual like” cramps and pain where I assumed my left ovary to be. Saw My gynecologist and on ultrasound, she discovered a 3cm cyst on my right ovary. She was not able to determine if it is a hemorrhagic or an endometrioma. She said to come back in about 2 months for a repeat ultrasound to check and see if it’s still there, grown larger or gone away.

I also have cramps and spotted with my latest "period" this one is the worst pms, breast tenderness, and emotional wise. I had a total ab hyster 3 mos ago.No cervix so where is the spotting coming from and why am I still cramping? I'm am NP but have no experience in OB. I do know this is not a bladder infection and find no reason to see a urologist. It is somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one having this issues. I have both my ovaries, by the way.

I had a hysterectomy and inside healed perfect, kept both ovaries so i can’t figure out the abdominal cramps all the time - i do have a bladder issue but if by time i can get in to uro i suffer still - ladies all said id be so glad. No been a hellish miserable recovery past few months and soon as had energy after this got worse.
Idk wth to think

My mom had the operation hmm I must have been 52 years ago it saved her from so much pain ever month. I came here to see how I can help a lady I meet in Thailand with her monthly pain. She cant walk for days. Not sure how to help. Look up a movie called Fat Sick Nearly Dead and Fat Sick Nearly Dead 2 and What The Health. These films will how you why you should not eat meat. The US Gov lies to us all. I know this will sound stupid but try going to church and give your life to God as God to remove this pain. You can heal your self of any problem if you use your mind and eat vegetables and stop eating meat and ask help from God. But I have to say must people give up on God cuz he is most often slow to help cuz 99 percent of people only talk to God when they have a problem. But you can try and learn to meditate. It maybe the food you're eating also. We all eat badly. Junk food greasy food. Nasty ass baloney meat is so bad the US Gov has it under the same classification as platinum and I do mean the stuff used to destroy whole city's with 1 bomb. Thats how bad that nasty ass meat is for we humans. And yet the US Gov lets them sell it to us. They pay lots of taxes by selling that cray so there you go. I hope this helps you in some way. May the Gods bless us all some more then others .
