Recovering from surgery: What you need to know after having your ovaries and fallopian tubes removed

[@Twinkie989]

Just had my ovaries removed this week to combat menstrual psychosis. I had my uterus and tubes removed previously. So far, I haven't had any hot flashes- and I was having them a lot before surgery. No vaginal dryness- and it was a painful problem before surgery. My bladder pain (from interstitial cystitis) is gone. I was having hallucinations until about 24 hours after surgery- and then they magically cleared up. I have never felt so calm and in control of myself in my life. I think I took like 4 pain pills the entire week- and haven't been put on any HRT at this point. I've done two hours on the recumbent bike and been able to take my kid out to the park (sitting on a bench). The worst for me is dizziness on standing- so I'm just trying to do as much as I can while sitting. Just wanted to put it out there that this doesn't have to be scary and can have positive results!

Thank you

Hi Twinkie, thank you for sharing your experience. I am in perimenopause and having a very hard time. I don't get hot flashes but I do get cold a lot. My worst symptoms are severe anxiety, depression and some panic attacks. I also have be having moderate to severe headaches...if I may ask, what exactly were your menopause symptoms prior to your surgery? Are you still not experiencing any major symptoms? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

@@rubythecraftgirl7097 I ended up in the hospital, extremely depressed, about a month after. I got very sick with a virus for two weeks, then my oldest son ended up in the hospital for psych and was released on the wrong meds, I was bottle feeding kittens every 3 hours around the clock, and my dog had a health crisis. Add to it narcissistic abuse from my ex, and the stress from my kids all kind of spiraling at the same time (all 5 have psych issues). It was a lot and i was just beaten down- and surgery was physically draining and then going into menopause was just a lot. I am actually feeling a lot better without my ovaries, though. I don't take hormones. My psychosis has stopped. My migraines and bladder pain from interstitial cystitis have mostly stopped. I had monthly migraines for at least a week a month, severe psychosis until my period would start each month for about a week- with a few longer spells, bladder pain, cold spells, no immune system- i caught every cold that came my way. My pms just got worse every month- so much pain, constipation, etc. Numbness in my hips when I had pms weight gain. I don't regret my surgery AT ALL, even though recovery got a bit tougher. I really think estrogen was trying to kill me.

Hy, I need a suggestion plz. My mother has undergone hysterectomy few years back and now she has got water in fallopian tube and cyst attached to a ovary. So now doc has advised to remove the fallopian tubes. So my question is? Should she remove both fallopian and ovaries at the same time. So she doesn't have to go through operation in future again for ovaries. Plz plz plz help?

[@jules8029]

How are you now?

[@TheAimlesslyWanderingSoul]

I will be having an LBSO surgery in three weeks on June 14th, 2023. Watching videos like this helps me to prepare for what’s going to happen. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great week. (Today is May 24th, 2023).

[@correlationqueen3565]

Any updates on your post surgery status? how did it go for you, I hope all went well. 🙏

[@TheAimlesslyWanderingSoul]

@@correlationqueen3565 yes, everything went well. The incisions healed nicely. Now my ENT wants blood tests (Thyroglobulin and TSH) to see where I’m at with my hormone levels. Thank you for asking about me.

I just had my right ovary and the right fallopian tube removed because I had a 9cm cyst on my ovary and they couldn't save the ovary.

[@lindseyo3329]

im getting my left ovary and tube and also the 9cm cyst on it taken out next week along with endometriosis. did your surgery go okay? i am so paranoid. I had cysts removed last year in a laproscopy way and that was fine.

[@gj823]

Same here.

[@HolisticDramaFree]

Omg this exact same thing happened to me a few days ago and they took it out. Mine was 9cm too

[@crystalkhan3876]

My daughter just had to get her ovary removed because of a cyst😩

[@correlationqueen3565]

How is your daughter doing now?

[@overrunwithboys216]

Can an 18 yr old woman who had her left ovary & Tube removed (at age 14- still has the right other ovary & tube), can she safety take Birth control pills, or would this increase her risk of blood clots ?

[@HolisticDramaFree]

I wouldn't recommend it

[@MonicaV-rw3tg]

Interesting, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.

[@terriweatherspoon6508]

Can you feel that the ovaries and the tubes have been removed

[@beckybarnes8875]

I had surgery 5 days ago and I can tell they are gone. It feels wierd and giggly inside bits.
