LIFE UPDATE: HOW MY BODY CHANGED AFTER MY HYSTERECTOMY

[@cynthiavure7342]

I am almost 40 and had full hysterectomy 9 years ago. It was an emotional moment for me because I had no children and would never have children in the future. The drive I had was my health was priority over everything. So yes it was done. Thumbs up Shell for your story to many who are or have had a recent hysterectomy.

[@Priyanka0888]

My story is same like yours and I had to do it so I did it on May 10th 2024 now waiting to be completely recovered asap..

[@maryheath3810]

I have reached the 6 mo milestone after having a complete hysterectomy with oophorectomy . I asked my Dr to get it ALL out. Age 70 is way too old to deal with bleeding. Dr also found a cancerous tumor lodged in the uterine wall. So I am glad to have all that plumbing out. Major recovery time was about 6 weeks, then I began to feel more normal. I still get random twinges. As for bladder issues.. the uterine muscles supports the bladder, so once that organ is gone, the bladder relaxes a bit. I am grateful my incontinence was temporary, however I keep a few panty liners in my bag at all times. Just know that every woman's recovery is different. Try to keep a good attitude , and if you feel down, allow yourself that time to mourn the loss. Those feelings are temporary. Love yourself. Cut yourself some slack. Ask for help when you need it. You are NOT your organs. You are your beautiful SPIRIT and you are worthy of love.

I had a full hysterectomy but still have my ovaries but no cervix. I am almost 6 months post surgery and noticed changes with my body. I am now dealing with edema/lymphedema and have researched that there is a connection with hysterectomy due to estrogen levels. Also, I’ve noticed a lot of joint pain and stiffness post surgery I didn’t have before. Not sure if menopause has kicked in but how would anyone know when they have no period.

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and im feeling great 😊😊. I can totally relate to the excitement over the feeling of emptiness where my uterus used to be. Im literally so glad she's gone, i've hated my uterus since menarche because the pain and heavy bleeding was always so overwhelming, debilitating , and embarrassing. I felt like my anatomy was a punishment, I'm 29 now, and for the first time since menarche, i finally feel like i have a shot at a good quality of life. I've also been experiencing night sweats, i walk up and down 46 stairs to do laundry, so im partially thankful to my night sweats for a speedy return of mobility lol. They knicked my ureter during the procedure, which caused me to have to keep the foley catheter in for the 2 weeks, and honestly, the catheter was the greatest source of discomfort during my healing process. I was supposed to let a nurse remove it tomorrow, but i took it out on Friday, i couldn't take it anymore lol. But as soon as i removed the catheter i instantly felt a million times better. Now the only real discomfort i feel is the itchiness at my incision site, which means its healing. I have a follow up with the surgeon on Thursday. Just wanna thank you for posting this video and sharing your story😊. Videos like this open the door for conversations that way too many women/people with uteruses have been shamed out of having. Its time for us to stop suffering in silence. Thank you to everyone in this comment section for sharing your experiences as well, im enjoying reading them, and my heart goes out to all of you ❤️.

I just got home from having a full hysterectomy and they had no choice but to cut me. They reused my c-section scar to open me up. My first day I was in excruciating pain. Turns out I had adenomyosis. I’ve had all kinds of tests and nobody ever saw it. It’s something that you usually don’t find until either the removal of the uterus or during the woman’s autopsy. I was struggling all these years not knowing why. I’ve been a bit emotional about so many things, but for the most part I think I will feel relieved that this is finally done and I don’t have to worry about constantly being in the hospital.

Called my doctor, she told me to come right there. And took me straight to get a scan. One month later, I was in surgery. Already had a Tubal ligation and they used the same site. Healed cleaner than the first scar and no pain at all. My stitches were taken off one week later. I was just afraid of pulling on anything inside. I hated the catheter. My only issue is having to go to the bathroom. I feel it strongly! Eating well and taking regular short walks helps a lot. And following instructions. That was smy issue. I like to do things myself lol. You'll be fine.

I'm 4 weeks post op. Had a hysterectomy and sling surgery. The worst pain is the gas from the laproscopic surgery. Take phazyme and colace so you don't strain. Walk. My pain never got above a 3. My other advice is , be honest with your gyno about leaking. I got a sling with this surgery because I would need one later down the line because I do notice some leaking. Might as well do them both at the same time. Belly wrap helps too.

[@queenjeanne5797]

Hello. I saw your video a few days before my surgery and it instilled fear of major pain. My NJ surgeon gave me Gabepentin to prevent nerve pain, Celebrex to prevent inflammation, & 925mg of Tylenol 1 hour before surgery. A 4th med was adminstered via IV. I used 6 medicated wipes to disinfect my skin. In recovery there was no pain, just tenderness near the single incision site. My surgeon has the latest robotic equipment with one tool instead of the outdated 4 tool machine. I ate soup & a banana & drank Vitamin water 5 hrs after surgery. Also took Ibuprofen & mild prescribed narcotic before going to sleep. Day 1 post surgery I have no pain, used the ice pack on the incison, and gingerale to expel the gas. I did pick up tums😂. I hope your subscribers learn from this the importance of researching doctors that use the latest technology and win awards. Always pray for guidance in selecting your medical team. I interviewed my surgeon. My surgeon chose gyn surgery because women are under served. His parents & spouse are physicians.

I had a hysterectomy on May 23, 2023 and the worst part of it all was the painful bloating! So much trapped gas! Apparently they fill you up with gas for the laparoscopic surgery. I stopped the narcotics by the 2nd day and only took Tylenol. I walked from the first day a little bit more each day. And did take the stool softeners and everything helped. After 3-4 days I was back to feeling normal but tried to stay in bed since the doctor said to take it easy for 2 wks. I should have done this 5 years ago when it was first recommended. No more pain!!! This surgery was so much easier than the 2 C-sections I had with my kids.

[@amandagardner944]

Registered Nurse here who has worked in the OR. Yes, they do fill your abdomen with CO2 gas for laparoscopic surgery so that they can see your structures and work easier. They try to remove as much as they can at the end, but your body has to eliminate the rest. It’s different from anesthesia gas, which you inhale.

[@healmyroots]

Aw friend. I am 41 - had my surgery 3 days ago. I felt the same grief over the child I never knew. I decided I could choose the type of legacy I leave, and it didn't depend on a physical child. I wish you love and strength.

[@stephaniecastro1835]

I have adenomyosis and I get ovarian cysts. I’m waiting for the doctor to give me a surgery date for my laparoscopic hysterectomy but they’re leaving the ovaries. I’m 36 with 2 children, I’m blessed and ready to start healing 🙏🏻

[@SimplyShell417]

Good luck to you ❤️

[@priya.n3752]

Same problem with me severe Adenomysis but no cysts. Done laparoscopic hysterectomy on February 17th. By god's grace everything is fine. Don't worry be bold. Good that they are leaving the ovaries, for me also ovaries are retained. Life will be without pain after surgery. Take care.

[@anaabby5097]

I have adenomyosis and am to tired of heavy bleeding and pain I want to take out every thing

[@vaniahudson]

I had a hysterectomy exactly 1 week ago, and what helped me tremendously with the pain, was that my Anesthesiologist asked me if I wanted her injecting the inside of my belly with pain killers, special pain killers used for this kind of surgery. I am so glad I said Yes! Reading comments from so many women struggling with extra pain makes me realized how blessed I am for that Anesthesiologist lady. That has helped me to feel pretty much almost back to normal the very first days post-op, which has helped my mood for sure, I haven't felt depressed for the pain and discomfort, and it has reduced tremendously my need to take strong pain killers, which also has helped me going potty #2. So if you are going to have this surgery, talk to your Anesthesiologist about injecting your tummy with the pain numbing meds because recovery will be so much more nicer, bearable and you won't experience post-surgery depression which usually happens with slow and painful recovery. I was walking by myself on day 1.

[@lz6364]

Thanks!! Any more tips? Like potty tips, or prep advice?

[@vaniahudson]

just keep a soft diet the first 3 days and pop a laxative because doctors say that we all have to go #2 within three days post-op, otherwise we have to go to the ER so they will "open up our pipes" for us to poop. I was so afraid of having stiches popping with the pushing motion, that taking a laxative surely helped me a lot. I know that our reproductive system is not connected to the digestive one, specially our intestines, but I am telling you: when it comes to surgery "down there", "next door to the exit door", it feels darn close and you are afraid of going potty and pushing hard after surgery. I also talked to my body and explained the procedure beforehand to it, I told my body that we needed this in order to feel better, and I was incredibly grateful for how amazing, brave, strong and wise my body is, and for recovering so quick after invasive procedures. I am a Psychologist, and I know that our bodies experience extreme shock or even trauma with every single surgery we go through, to the point of losing a ton of hair, strong inflammation, depression, very painful recovery and full of fear about everything and nothing during recovery time, oh and also paranoia because our body turns on our "Survival mode", and it surely presents signs of PTSD. So talk to your body, say a prayer, thank your body for its bravery, understanding and strength. And you will be fine and your recovery will be much nicer :)@@lz6364

I don’t know what they gave me for pain through IV at the hospital the first 24 hours but once home only Advil an Tylenol. I think the worst part was waiting to be able to do whatever I want . Twelve weeks of restrictions! But I’m doing great now ! May everyone else have the same experience!

Thank you for keeping it so real! I have adenomyosis and hysterectomy is the only cure. I recently started on progesterone and that has helped so much, I was suffering way too badly before it. I have had something like 16 surgeries- 9 for kidney stones & cysts and I have some PTSD from a few of the bad experiences. Also, I was a teen when my mom had hers and her recovery was very long a difficult as she had a bad post-op infection and I had to take care of my little sister and our house for months, so I worry about putting that on my kids. Thank god for our church dropping off dinner meals every evening! I already have so much rectal pain, probably from all of the medications after all of those surgeries, so that makes me nervous too!
