Ovary Removal Surgery Story - OOPHORECTOMY Experience .... A Little Bit TMI

[@melissapollard5234]

Thank you so much for posting this! I am having the same procedure done for the exact same reason in 2 weeks and it feels so good for someone living it to talk about their experience!! This helped me more than you could ever know.

[@Kristybonet]

Same. I have triple positive breast cancer and this is an important step in keeping the cancer away. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@Mrs51315]

I had a hysterectomy in 2016 with one ovary removed! Foud out I have a cyst on the ovary I have left and they're removing it on 8/21/20... thanks for sharing your story and comforting me!

[@kimberly102]

Thank you for sharing your story. I had er+ breast cancer, lumpectomy and radiation, no chemo. I chose not to take any prescription medication to prevent recurrence because of terrible side effects. My mother died of ovarian cancer and several relatives on her side had breast or cervical cancer. Genetic testing showed that I don't have either BRCA gene. I'm scheduled to have surgery to remove my uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes to decrease my cancer risk and also because I have cysts on my ovaries and unusually heavy bleeding during periods. I also had very elevated levels of CA-125 the last two times I got tested. Crazy as it seems, I'm less worried about getting cancer if I don't have the surgery versus what is going to happen when I am instantly put into surgical menopause. I'm already grieving the anticipated loss of libido and scared about sex being painful among the many other menopausal symptoms. I won't be able to do HRT because I've had breast cancer. I'm worried that the rough periods, cysts will have been nowhere near as bad as dealing with the abrupt loss of hormones and the onslaught of other menopause related symptoms. I'm about to turn 50 and my surgeon said I'll be in menopause in a few years anyways so it's not a big deal, but everything I'm reading and videos I'm watching indicate that most women who have had this surgery regret it because the menopause symptoms are really bad.

[@tinahuttner7280]

It’s 2020 and I’m in remission from ductile breast cancer and I’m really considering the ovaries removal as well.i don’t have the gene for breast cancer but to prevent any reoccurrence I’d rather do this then taking meds for the rest of my 40s(I’m 42 now). This was nice to see this testimony to know what it may be like for me.

[@BadAss15-60]

I’m having an LBSO (Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingo Oophorectomy) surgery on June 14,2023. I’m kinda excited (in a good way) of having this surgery. I have suffered enough down there. I’m 58 and never had children but to fill the void, I have a cat and I’m a collector of reborn dolls. Those surely help.

[@Capeverdeluv1]

Your ENTIRE ACCOUNT(the TMI too 🙃) was extremely helpful to me and will also be that for countless of other women❣️ Thank you and bless you for bn so willing to help others 🦋

[@kalford4909]

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m 34 and about to have a surgery to have my ovaries removed. I have already had a partial hysterectomy, but I keep getting these massive cysts on my ovaries so they are just going to remove them. I’m most worried about going into menopause and Al that comes with it. I’m a stay at home mom with 3 kids. I’m so worried about the depression and sadness that comes along with it. I have never dealt with depression before.

[@emily.theplant]

How did it go for you? I’m about to have mine done in two days for the exact same reasons. I have reoccurring large cysts on both ovaries

[@mariatrapp6196]

I'm trying to decide whether to go through this as well. Do you feel your energy has tanked or is it unaffected? I am extremely worried for this and also if I will not be as feminine, lose curves, grow wide neck, mustache etc. I'm freaked out it will change me, so much that I almost rather live with the risk. Scared!!!

God bless you lol thank you for the 411 I’m going in 1 week to have the same thing done for health reasons and it’s good to know what to expect thanks again:-)

[@xcalabur18]

Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

[@Hollismcc]

I have responded to you before about this!❤️ you wouldn’t know you were going under it takes you so fast

[@MiDesertLife]

I'm 31 diagnosed uterine cancer need a total hysterectomy... but I keep resisting...

[@ashlynn1652]

Iv wanted everything gone for a while now. I recently found out I have cysts on my ovaries. If I can I'd like to at least have my ovaries removed. I'm currently in bed with a heating pad on my abdomen. I woke this morning around 8am in excruciating pain & went to work anyways. I left an hour early bc the pressure got so bad. I had a theory I thought maybe I was constipated so I used a suppository nothing. I'm currently on my cycle & sometimes get pressure just like this but it doesn't usually last 12 hours. I'm done having kids. I'm 36 I have 2 boys so I'm good. I really want this part of my body if not all my reproductive organs GONE!!!!!!!! Iv heard your hormones are never right after a hysterectomy well mine are out of whack anyways. I have no sex drive I've been had hair growth in places I shouldn't so I couldn't give 2 shits about any of that. I cannot function with this pain & pressure. I have a full time job & 2 young kids. I get it I completely understand your hesitation to loose all your reproductive organs but I just can't deal with this pain. I have more important things to do than be in pain every single day of my life. I need this done ASAP. Tell me is this something most insurance covers. Any advice will be helpful thanks.

[@Amy-ri5gt]

Thank you for posting this and leaving this public. Having a cyst and ovary removed. I'm already in menopause. You've really eased my mind. Best of luck to you and your journey. ❤

[@turtley8883]

I have the brac2 genetic mutation and ER + cancer. I had a double mastectomy last week. I will get the ovaries and tubes removed too, and I have to take the tablet for 5 years. How are you doing now? Are you still taking the tablet? Thank you for sharing 💗 I'm 41 and wondering about the long term effects.

[@hanaayoussef3120]

I'm getting prepared for ovaries removal I'm just 35 years I'm so scared from going through menopause 😭☹ and bad mood

[@tinahuttner7280]

Hanaa youssef sorry to hear. I had breast cancer and in remission. Really considering this procedure so I don’t have recurrence, don’t want to do any meds. Sucks I’m going to have to go into this “phase” a lot sooner but you gotta do what’s necessary for your health. Did you end up w breast cancer too or did you get a cyst?

[@bobs1356]

Shirley here, they have creams u use instead of hormonal therapy. No hormones.

[@scgraves98]

I am supposed to start Lupron soon in preparation for ovary removal and I’m so scared I don’t want to feel not in my mind

Take progesterone supplements from amazon

[@Hollismcc]

No way. Synthetic hormones are dangerous especially for a cancer survivor

[@shanzashai7997]

Hollis Connor natural progesterone cream extract from wild yams that are not synthetic. progestin in contraceptive pill are very synthetic and very dangerous.

[@loloagain4586]

Awesome video, I can relate to so much. I had to have my entire reproductive system removed, with the exception of one ovary. I experienced the saddest you talked about, but in time it did pass. I lost my cervix, since then I can not have internal orgasms, but I can still have my external orgasms. (For me were better😉) This is just something I wanted to share. I am very interested in knowing more about your diet. If you could send me a link that would be great♥️🤗

[@Hollismcc]

Lolo Again what a great share! I didn’t even know we had an internal orgasm lol I’ll have to get down to trying that out 😉💕. Thank you for your support friend it’s great to know I’m not alone!!!

Did you say you take hanibis or canabis ?

I may have to lose one ovary. Will I still have monthly cycles with one ovary? I’m worried. I’m only 33.

@Dolla Holla i understand and that's completely normal. My mom had a hysterectomy too because of cervical cancer:/ she has no ovaries now and that's why I'm watching these videos. Because I'm worried

[@KLDotyTV]

Also will all of these symptoms apply to someone losing ONLY one ovary?

[@RR-hb7nj]

Hi Kate, in my experience so far, mostly no. I had one ovary removed a month ago, along with a little bit of the other ovary removed as well. Although I'm not a doctor, you should not need HRT as long as you still keep a portion of one ovary. My first period post-surgery is extremely light, so hopefully that gets a little heavier, but not much negatives to mention. Best wishes to you!

[@cindyhorst3555]

Do you now regret delaying the ovary removal? Do you think it Co tributes at all to it spreading

[@Hollismcc]

Cindy Horst no Cindy I don’t regret the timing of the surgery. What I truly beleive contributed to all my spreading is the chemo that kicked it off two years ago in the first place. I went into chemo with two tumours I came out with ten. I’ve been fighting uphill ever since. Also, blaming one particular thing or decision could torture you. I do my very best ❤️

[@cindyhorst3555]

@@Hollismcc I agree I just try to learn as much as I can so that I make better more informed choices if I face cancer again. I was clueless on how to help my mom when she was diagnosed and we both made bad choices and lost valuable quality time together.

Cindy Horst I hear you loud and clear. We need to go slower in order to make better decisions ❤️ sending love

[@06brighteyes]

Thank you for sharing! Regarding you TMI statement is lubrications the only problem you have with sex? Is your desire still there? How long after the surgery could you have sex? I know these are a lot of personal question. I understand if you can't answers them?
