I didn't really get much attention after my full hysterectomy they wanted to be home after surgery I'm like what, what do you mean I'm not staying the night

Thank you it was very nice helpful

Thank You! You have given me hope!

thanks Dr. Dawn. I went to my first appt with a pelvic floor therapist today. I was very nervous. They were educating me about what's going on and asking a lot of questions, and I go back in a few days. They didn't do the internal exam today, and they try not to pressure a person, but it would've been better for me to get it over with! I have a printout on ways to start working on urinary incontinence. I want to avoid surgery. Thanks again for your explanations and encouragement. If I hadn't watched some of your videos already, and a couple of others', I would've chickened out.

Thank you so much for these videos ❤I am going on two weeks tomorrow since my abdominal hysterectomy.

And how long is recovery meant to be? 9 weeks post abdominal hystorectomy yes i kept my ovaries but i have hot sweats heavh tingly all over and fatigue is horrid so is my appetite

Why the Virginia have clear fluid and it smells sometimes even a year after uterus removal?

Great video full of hope with wholistic alternatives. ❤

I will be on 2 week post surgery and I must say, I had a pretty good experience! It was an interesting 2 weeks that I want to share to others that are getting ready to have one. First, I had one because after being in Menopause for about 3 years, I started to bleed out of nowhere! Well, it turned out to be a thickening of the uterine lining. Unfortunately for me, nothing seems to help stop it so after a year of this, I opted to have a complete hysterectomy! And Glory to God, they didn't find anything malignant after doing the lab work on the organs removed! Yeh! Now to my 2 week experience: Day 1 after surgery, I felt great, no pain! I was not hungry just sleepy so I slept a lot! Day 2, I got really bad anxiety and my BP was really high so I ended up going in to ensure nothing else was going in but was released within 3 hours. The ER doctor said it was after effects from anesthesia and should subside after a couple weeks...The anxiety persisted for about a week but it was mild and was managed by taking ibuprofen or tylenol. Day 3, I was still tired, groggy, and loss of appetite but my hubby made sure I at least ate a little soup and drank yokult! I also ate a Kiwi fruit and drank tea every day! Day 4, felt a little better and was able to eat at least 1 full meal! Slept a lot. Day 5, a little bit more energy and was able to eat very tiny meals. Day 6, slight anxiety but able to move around and go for walks every 45 minutes! Day 7, felt so good, I over did my activity and ended up with leg cramps. Increased my water intake and used a heating pad to relieve the leg cramps! Day 8-now, feeling better each day, more energy, moving around great, no pain whatsoever! Excited to see my doc for 2 week post-op so he can release me and I can drive again! Helpful hints that might help someone else: 1. Drink a probiotic every day 2. Drink a lot of water 3. Get up and walk every hour 4. Meditate 5. Drink a greens protein (I felt this really helped my digestion...) 6. Relax and watch your favorite sit-coms!

Is surgery really the answer? I had my bladder replaced using mess. Please tell me why my bladder is sitting ing my vagina opening? I can actually push it. So is surgery really the answer?

8 weeks post op still no emergy

I am 72 going through my 1st major surgery I have endometriosis, and after 2 d and Cs, my lining kept getting thick. I had monthly periods, up until I was sixty nine years old. The periods went down to maybe two a year. I'm wondering, should I still just keep getting D&Cs. I have never had night sweat. Will this change my quality of life. I am in no pain at all.

Would it be better to get a reformer?

Thank you so much for this video 💕

I had abdominal hysterectomy 2 months ago and I’m still in pain off work. I am still recovering.

I did my surgery on the 23rd of July 2024

Hello doctor thank u for the video. How long after I can start doing this excersice?

I had a Vnotes total hysterectomy 2 weeks ago, thank you for this informative advise. Also due to current constipation, can this cause prolapse of organs?

I had abdominal hysterectomy 3weeks ago and yesterday I was in too much pain.

I will try these, I'm having problems with hip bursitis, which can keep me awake during the night even pretty often.

I've had a hysterectomy about 14yrs ago and I'm now have problems with bladder prolapse can this exercise still help me

❤❤hi doctor

Very helpful. Thank you!

I’m 5dpo from a robotic assisted lap and going crazy. My one incision burns with every movement. I did take narcotics but I’m off of them now and still hurt. Not sure if I’m just getting used to things shifting or if I actually hurt. 🙃 But I will say this, if you’re getting ready for such a procedure, invest in a good binder. It helps so much!!

Can we start this Day 11 post abdominal hysterectomy?

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Hi I am post hysterectomy 3 weeks had an emergency partial just removal of uterus and tube's. And about 1.5 weeks ago started waking up to legs and lower abdomen spasms. Not sure if that's correct word but basically it's like body stretching out getting stiff with the slightest movement from sleep rest position.i have no control over this. Not painful but uncomfortable. Now at 3 weeks I have that but also my entire abdomen from rib cage down. Is this normal? Why is this happening.

Thank you so much Dr Dawn. Few concerns are that is it okay to do squats and lunches if one has uterine prolapse.

I am 25 years old. I am unmarried. I feel pressure in my vagina and also have something in my Vagina can you please suggest me some exercise to get rid of this because i can't afford surgery or kind of stuff like that...Please help me out I really need help.

They don't use a mesh anymore right??

Thanks for this info, as my doc didn't say anything about scar tissue prevention I'm recovering from laparoscopic/open myomectamy and cyst removal. Will be 3 weeks this Thursday 🙂

How many reps to do and how often

Thank you

Walking approximately 1 to 2 hours is enough for me now, my surgery was I April 2024,so I'm taking my time at slow pace without running or heavy lifting . I basically only left 5 pounds as of August this year 2024. I will be watching and listening to you regularly. Keep us posted and thank you for calming us down with much explanation for for healing at a rate time.😊❤❤❤❤❤, USA

Hi, can a hysterectomy cause a prolapse? I had everything removed last week.

Very helpful information. Thank you! 🙏

i am wife of Robert. I have had prolapse for about 10 yrs. I have used a pessary and done kagels faithfully. They are talking about surgery now but I don't want that. You explained breathing and things to avoid very well. You are pleasant to listen to. Thank you.

I have undergone my surgery also 2weeks ago, Thank God for the success operation. My incision is ok, I just feel like bloated and uneasy to move-out air (flatulence) ..but my bowel movement is ok.. is this normal doc?

Today it makes 9 day of my hysterectomy with laparoscopic I still have my ovaries but had my fallopian tubes, uterus and cervix removed and I have lots of gas pain I’m doing much better than before but still very ache I am walking and moving around but when I have to use the bathroom it’s painful, I do use the urinate a lot… I do feel a lot of pressure in my vaginal area and my pelvis… I try to use more tea less med because I don’t want to get addicted air become dependent so I use camomile tea with bay leaves this has help with gas and sleep too. I have sleeping issue where I suffer from insomnia. Lot of heat flashes, heart palpitations are so worrisome…. So glad to have found these video… thank you very much for all the tips and help…. Most Challenging was using the bathroom and getting up from my bed mas well as bending down… I begging showering the 2 day and I do my own breakfast and I prep my kids in The morning for school… mom helps but I like to move around and help…. I do feel lots a pressure on my pelvic floor… this is a tough surgery so let’s take our time on heal so we can heal well.

I had hysterectomy 4 months ago. I still feel pain from time to time. It's the pains that brought me here to seek for answers. Things like these should be discussed before the op so people can make decisions whether they want to continue or not.

Thank you for your videos! I’m 3 weeks post total laparoscopic hysterectomy with BSO and I found your videos because I am in constant fear that I’m doing too much or not enough and your videos have helped reassure me and guide me along with my doctor’s advice.

Loved to learn more about Pilates as I’m dealing with POP. I’m currently in physio, but I am going to choose to Pilates exercise once my pelvic floor is stronger. Thank you!

Thankyou for info,; I 37yrs subtotal hysterectomy done ovaries in for two week recovery...my question is will have my period normal or can monepouse comes early.?and night sweeting body mid night,,?

A year after hysterectomy I was told I have beginning stages of prolapse. But I swear after my hysterectomy I don’t have too pee as often! I can drink more and can hold it longer😮! Weird. Thankful!
