DISCLAIMER: in the current climate we are living in, its so hard at times to create good content. Todays video is sensitive. But as I have had so many requests to give an update on my journey post op and because I also know that this Illness affects more Women of colour ... I had to do it. I want to bring awareness. Women need to be checked more often to avoid getting to the point where they lose control of their bodies for them to get any sort of medical help help.

Some tips I suggest is drinking plenty of water, drinking a green smoothie everyday to get bowels moving, eat lots of protein (Fish, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, plain yogurt. Eat good carbs (Brown rice, sweet potato, quinoa ect). Please follow your doctor's post op directions. They are the experts and know what's best for you.

I had a hysterectomy three weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was either that or continue having a daily period and severe pain. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis. My last menstrual period started in July, and never went away. After d and c, endometrial biopsy, oral contraceptives... nothing worked! Fortunately, I’m 46 years old, finished having children after one son I had 13 years ago. The pathology report revealed severe adenomyosis. No other option for me. My heart goes out to all the women suffering and who have to make the decision to get a hysterectomy . Trust God that everything will be fine.

[@bd10232003]

This was my same exact experience. I always had rough and painful periods with heavy bleeding. Last year my periods started to last a full week. Then in August it just never went away. And I bled bled bled nonstop. Huge clotting and massive blood loss and I couldn’t predict when it would come. Adenomyosis as well as fibroids. So along with the pain and bleeding, I had to deal with anemia so severe I literally had to stop after walking a block to rest. I was bone tired. Hemoglobin down to single digits. Which I had to raise up with diet and iron transfusions just to be able to qualify for surgery. It was an ordeal and I’m glad it’s over. I’m 44 with 3 children 2 of which are grown so it was the best decision for me. My heart goes out to the women who were unable to have children before doing this.

My Sister had a massive Fybroides that had to be cut out and she felt that her Doctors strongly urged her to also take out her uterus and tubes as well...However, once she had that surgery she was never the same again, because she so desperately wanted to have children. She fell into a deep dark depression that she couldn't get out of. She unfortunately passed away a year ago, I believe from a broken heart.

Wow! that is sooo sad and heart breaking! People must understand the a woman's reproductive system is like a jewel to her. they don't always work properly or not at all but the fact that they are apart of a woman's entire being/femininity plays a huge role psychologically. Physically we may feel on top of the world after a hysterectomy but mentally it's too close to home. I suppose there's a bright and dark side to everything. I have two beautiful daughters but after I had my 2and child at 28 I was done done! Didn't want anymore children by choice I have fibroids but they have grown over the years so it's time to have this procedure. My mind goes back & forth with emotions but as I said, it takes a mentally strong person to have this procedure. I knew it was time when every month I couldn't even stand because of the flooding. People will normally miss work because of sickness or appointments but I've had a history of missing work because I was too anemic to move from the bed. when it get to the point where you are hemorrhaging to the point of severe weakness hysterectomy becomes the only option. These fibroids stole over 20yrs of my life so yes, they must go ASAP. Mentally I will get past the sadness but I will never get past the countless years feeling drained as if I just delivered a child. To postpone this surgery would mean I'm giving these blood-sucking demons power so they must go to get my life back...period May your beautiful sister Rest in Paradise...she doesn't have suffer anymore for there is truly a light especially for her in the heavens!

[@lovelove326]

Did you have the surgery? And if so, how was your recovery?

[@stephencarlsbad]

Thank you for sharing this! My wife is scheduled to have a hysterectomy and I asked her to imagine what life will be like after and she said that she imagined sadness. I told her that I could see why. A woman's mental-emotional motivation for being is largely tied to her ability to bear children. I think that it's a crushing blow to anyone to have a large portion of your purpose voluntarily removed aka to shut the door permanently and suddenly on it rather than always have the idea there looming in the background that you are a potential child-bearer. And it doesn't matter how great the upside is. You have to come to terms with the psychological effects of the change. I want you to know that you are "Whole" as a being. Having a uterus, functional or not, doesn't define your being. I believe that we all, as humans, struggle with the concept of "wholeness" regardless of the issue. I see this with drug addicts who use to escape their sense of 'lack of wholeness'. I see it men in the gym who abuse steroids in order to provide a sense of purpose to mask their feelings of inadequacy and false sense of lack of wholeness. The point is that I dont want you or anyone else to ever feel alone because of this false sense. I believe that we all come here to experience and meet this challenge and mirage of "lacking wholeness" as part of our soul journey so that we can face, overcome, learn from it and then teach others, just like you're doing with this video. We may be born with different deficits and gifts, but we are all whole. Nothing is missing. Thanks again for creating this video!

I found out I had a huge fibroid when I originally thought it was just sciatic pain. I just turned 39 today…no kids. I didn’t have heavy periods but the fibroid was sitting on my sciatic nerve causing me to have extreme back and leg pain. Im not sad that I don’t have kids… I have 8 godbabies and I work with kids. When the doctor said that I could possibly grow another fibroid if they just take the fibroid. I had an amazing surgeon he asked me every time I had a visit “Are you sure you want to do this”. He even gave me a month to make a decision.

I first want to thank you so very much from my heart for addressing this matter which has always been kept hush hush by my generation. I was 28 when I was told I had to have a full hysterectomy because of cancer. I had given birth to 4 children and only one went really well - my first born baby. She was was my smallest at 7 pounds. The nightmares about these pregnancies, births, moral and financial support to get a single mother of 4 children a clean start. A year after my youngest baby was born, I was pushed through for my hysterectomy. Again, no moral support and I had to resort to placing my 4babies in temporary foster care. I was only 27! I had no idea what was about to happen to me! To this day, I'm more TRAUMATIZED because NOBODY CARED.

You're beautiful and so is your daughter ❤️ I really appreciate you sharing your story. I am seven weeks past a hysterectomy, lost my uterus, fallopian tubes and a 11 cm fibroid. I don't feel normal and I am struggling with waves of sadness. I wasn't expecting this to be such a struggle, maybe I was just so naive. Sitting is really rough, especially on hard surfaces. It helps to know I am not alone and to hear other women's experiences. God bless you.

I had a mommy makeover in 2019 and this is when I learned I had a fibroid. The doc told me after coming out of surgery, when he was tucking me, there was a bulge. 4 months later post surgery I decided to go to confirm what he thought was a fibroid and it was indeed. My fibroid was the size of a grapefruit and I also had a few smaller ones as well. I did not have any symptoms which is why I didn’t know I had a fibroids until I had surgery. Long story short I had my surgery a year after my mommy makeover “Total with removal of my tubes” I am so glad I chose the laparoscopy cause I was afraid if I had to be cut open it would effect my muscles that were just repaired. I am only a few weeks post opt and feel fantastic! Thanks for sharing your story!!

I'm 32, have PCOS and endo and I am going to have a total hysterectomy and ovary removal in the coming months. I'm scared but I'm tired of the pain. No children - I wouldn't make a good mom and I've been told that my chances of conception are low anyways. There's a part of me that wishes I could have a daughter just to keep a piece of MY mom's lineage going in the world but I know you can be a mom in other ways if you want to later on so that's why I'm going to do it. I don't have plans to settle with anyone either. Dating history has been a nightmare. The thought of pregnancy and birth always frightened me anyways tbh and I'm not very patient with children. I'm just not maternal AT ALL. I want to do this procedure more for the pain relief and cutting out the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer too. I'm scared of surgery in general, but I think this is the best choice for me.

I have normal menstruation. No heavy periods. Started having fibroids for 11 yrs. Its just the last year that I felt different. Abdominal pain, heavy bleeding and my latest ultrasound and MRI. I have infection on my right fallopian tube, my left fallopian tube had a cyst and burst. So there was heavy bleeding. Then last year, got diagnosed with endometriosis. The pain got worst and fibroids got bigger and it just making me very uncomfortable in everything. I can’t do my usual stuff(sports, dancing,hiking etc). Life has not been fun and not easy lately. So my doctor decided for total hysterectomy in the next 2 months. I am 48, no kids. This video makes me understand better and felt less anxious. Thank you for sharing your story.

I want to cry off and on when I see a pregnant person or someone I know just had a baby. I am 46. 2 weeks post op. I had pelvic/bladder pain for last 2 years. Unknown reasons. Nothing obviously wrong with any of my female insides. It was so tough to decide because of this but I finally decided I had to give this surgery a chance to see if it can fix me. I couldn’t keep living in pain. I am hoping it will work. I hear everyone’s after hysterectomy stories and they sound so positive. I am hoping this will be me. To feel good again. To be myself.

I had hysterectomy 7 weeks ago. I had a vertical cut. Very little pain after surgery. I started walking the next day. Everything was going fine until 2 weeks after surgery. I went for my check up and found out I had an abscess ( I had pain and a lump in my lower abdomen about 2 days before I saw the doctor). The next few days were terrible. I got readmitted in the hospital and stayed there for 3 days. I was given a lot of antibiotics in the hospital. I was also released with antibiotics for 7 days. Once the abscess was drained (about 2nd day in the hospital), all the pain was gone. Due to the infection, a section of my incision reopened for drainage purposes. Seven weeks later, I must say I'm feeling much better. I'm getting ready to go back to work next week. I'm almost back to my former self. I avoid heavy lifting, but I'm able to do almost everything like before. I haven't had sex as yet😅😅😅, however, I've been having the urge. I've also gotten wet after watching a few porn videos. I would say, really think about the surgery. I think the benefits are worth it in the long run. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. Stay blessed.

I saw your video prior to have a UFE in October 2021. Today I was advised that the UFE was not effective as the fibroids are feeding off of ovarian arteries. The radiologist recommended for me to look into hysterectomy because there might less risks of falling into menopause by having a hysterectomy than another UFE. I had multiple surgeries and I am concerned but at the same time I am tired of my life revolving around fibroids, anemia, feeling tired… I just want to be healthy and like you I have 1 child.

I don't have any kids on my own but I have 11 nephews and nieces from my brothers. Those kids call me "Mom#2". I have been in and out in the hospital most of my life, but doin that procedure was one of the best decisions i've ever made. Even before I found out I had Endometriosis, fibroids and Cysts, I always know the best way to protect myself and anyone else is to not get into any relationship(made that decision when I was a preteen). Life can be so unfair but it's up to us to make the best of it. I wouldn't change any decisions that I made throughout my life. Keep pressing on. You have more to gain than loose in lifetime.

[@sintroisbeautifulday6389]

That is good.. I’m about to have it, I read that after a hysterectomy some girls are holding urine on the bladder therefore UTI or problems on the large intestine.. please let me know how you feel.. Vilma says she is good after a year you did it 2016 …

[@shumailasameer7284]

@@sintroisbeautifulday6389 i had my hystrectome 4 weeks ago my bladder reaction to hystrectomy was horrible i couldn't pee my bladder hold a lot of pee they put cathetar for 10 days and then remove my bag. If yoy don't have urine issues befor surgery you will be fine not everyone have this problem some bodies react badly to pelvic surgries so don't worry i think its better rather than heavy periods go ahead don't be afraid.

Thank you for this video. I had the surgery August 5th of this year and have gained about 15 lbs. I have been so sad about the weight gain and started working out but this gives me some relief that I’m not alone🥰❤️

I want to thank you for this video. I was diagnosed with Fibroids after I almost fainted at work. I had been feeling weak but just made excuses and when that happened my co-worker said you need to go get checked. I went and had some blood work and I had SEVERE anemia. I was having heavy periods, longer cycles,and had ruined several bed sheets. I described my symptoms and my Dr. said you need to go to a GYN. I did and the utlra sound came back 2 small fibroids. that was Jan 2020. May 2020 I had an ablation which helped slightly but not really. but now my periods are so unpredictable it's scary. Sometimes heavy, sometimes not at all. start and stops whenever. it's crazy! My concern is what about my job I cant call off. Women we care so much about others and not ourselves. I am not living life. I'm always concerned about when I'm going to start bleeding or for how long. My whole life is centered around my period.. Enough is enough. I'm 45 no kids and never wanted any so I'm not sad but it is a major procedure and scary to think about being cut and recovery and pain but what is the alternative??? Suffering, ruined clothes, no vacations, being paranoid and anxious.. no no no. Ladies if your life is on hold because of your bleeding pause. weigh the pros and cons and get the surgery from an experienced doctor. I had a gyn appointment for tomorrow but my random period started so I had to rescheduled my check up. But once this passes I'm going to schedule my Hysto. I want to keep my ovaries for hormones but they can have my uterus and cervix. I'm with you all in spirit

[@ShaynieB]

I was literally on the last day of my period when i had my hysterectomy… i was like “this is the perfect way to say goodbye to a life of misery that periods, fibroids, etc gave me for 31 years. I’m 3 days post-op… and only been nauseous and had vomiting ( i do this after every sutgery) and got some gas pains, but overall i’m happy with the decision. 40 and no kids.

[@djamison5342]

I had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago now and your videos of your journey have helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing!

[@zakkiyyarock4334]

THANK YOU for sharing your story. I had three miscarriages before my myomectomy. Before the surgery, I was told I had 5 fibroids. The doctor actually moved 12 fibroids (and 2 cysts). I truly appreciate you sharing your journey. Even though I did not have a hysterectomy, I can still relate, and you helped me not feel alone.

⚘⚘⚘ thank you for sharing your journey aswell ❤

[@yingyong3992]

Hi hope you're having a good recovery. If you don't mind me asking? Who was the surgeon who did your myomectomy? Thanks

[@Elipsic]

Olá Vilma! I had hysterectomy 2 months ago, but my surgery was because of cervical cancer. I also have kids but still get emotional about the subject, I can imagine how hard it is for people that don't have kids. I wasn't planning to have more kids but after the surgery I am constantly dreaming about being pregnant. Thank you for the video! It would be really nice see a video about how start to exercise after the the surgery.

[@vilmasclosett]

Ola querida - thank you for sharing your story briefly. I understand what you are going through. It will take time, but one day you will feel so much better emotionally. Thank you for the video suggestion 😘

[@sha6319]

How are you doing now? I am about to this experience because of cancer.

[@newnana9070]

I started having problems from the time I started my periods. Heavy periods, throwing up, pain for 3-4 days , and fainting from elementary through my 40’s. I have 2 daughters, 12 years apart. I had my surgery at 47. They found I had endometriosis also. A lot of uterine tissues outside the uterus attached everywhere. I have my ovaries. You wonder why didn’t you do it earlier. No pain.

[@gladysnyangweso8230]

I have an upcoming appointment on Wednesday to discuss hysterectomy surgery, I had ablation in 2009 & I was pain free for a few yrs after that. When the pain started back it immediately was on 1000! I’ve been putting off surgery for a long time due to work & timing not being right. Prayfully my new dr approves me for surgery next month. I’ve had 3 kids & I’m over heavy bleeding & big clots, thank you for sharing your story.

Hey....I'm so sorry the pain has returned. I hope that your Dr understands you and agrees to this procedure. I wish you all the best my lovely 😌

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’m being recommended by 2 of my obgyn to get a hysterectomy done. And everywhere there’s only recommendations to not do it but I’ve suffered from painful periods my entire life. And now I want my life back

[@lexi-the-hildafolk6300]

Thank you so much for sharing. My hysterectomy is Monday and it's Saturday now. I was nervous about regretting it but you're right i can get my life back. You have helped me so much. My mom passed away a couple years ago and she was my bff and so i haven't had any one who's had a hysterectomy to talk to our even just to tell her how scared i am. So again thank you with all my heart ♥️♥️♥️

Hello Danielle - my I’m so sorry about your moms passing. Mine passed away when I was 12 and I know how hard it is not have that WOMAN figure in our life’s to support us in these very difficult divisions and circumstances. You’ll be fine after you start feeling better. Stay strong ❤️

@@lovelove326 i had a total hysterectomy and it was laproscopic but i had a bad reaction to the gas they use during laproscopic surgery.

I am 42. I have 2 kids; 16 and 13. I have been dealing w fibroids since 2017, but just last week I received some lab results and it shows multiple fibroids and my uterus is the size of a 3 month old pregnancy. The gynecologist recommended me to have a hysterectomy. I have constantly been uncomfortable and I've decided to go with the procedure. I'm mentally going through emotions, but I could see that at the end it would be life changing for the best at the end...thank you for your video

[@Jess12564]

I'm at the start of this journey for endo. My periods have always been excruciatingly painful but as I get older (27) it's getting a LOT worse as well as many other symptoms. I just had a call with my doctor yesterday after doing bloodwork and an ultrasound and she said everything came back clear, so take more aleve. I flat out told her I did my research, I knew they could come back clear, it doesn't mean anything until I do a lapriscopic ultrasound and I'm in no way interested in putting a blanket over the root cause. Be an advocate for yourself. Do your own research. Nobody is going to fight harder for your life then yourself.

[@trinitymartinez6083]

this video has helped me so much. ive been searching for information about feelings, and what to expect. i cried because youre the only one who has SPOKE to me. im in the waiting for a hysterectomy, and terrified to death. i feel so much better now that ive seen this. thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Trinity. I’m so pleased you have found my video helpful. What you are telling is normal and from experience, I went through the same!! But you’ll be fine and your life will be so much better ❤️

[@MsQ275]

I'm sorry you had such a rough experience! I'm two weeks post and I'm so grateful that it was such an easy, pain free procedure for me. the hardest part is remembering that I just had surgery and need to take it easy! I'm sharing this so other women know that the experience can vary, greatly. I had an ankle surgery last year that was incredibly rough and I'm still recovering all this time later.... before hand, everyone said that would be easy and it definitely was not. It's strange how the body reacts so differently to the same procedure ❤
