What to expect with a hysterectomy | Ohio State Medical Center

[@jackieanddashadventures]

I have stage 4 grade 3 endometrial cancer and am receiving a radical hysterectomy on Monday. I am 37 and am devastated about the changes yet to come but I am grateful I will hopefully be cancer free after this. Thanks for the vid.

I'm one week out from robotic laparoscopic surgery with removal of tubes and ovaries. I'm 66 and am waiting on the results of the uterine tissue. I hemorrhaged so badly I required 5 units of whole blood. DO NOT DELAY. GET CHECKED OUT.

[@joannemazurek9075]

Today is my first week mark after a complete laproscopic hysterectomy. I had post menopausal bleeding for a few months that made me go see my doctor.

I am 48 and had a radical hysterectomy (they used the Devinci Robot) and removed everything (lymph nodes, ovaries, cervix...) in December 2023 (I had Grade 1, stage 1a Uterine Cancer) and still have not experienced any menopause symptoms. My doctor told me that the pituitary glad and pancreas actually control the hormones and I will go through menopause at the age I am naturally supposed to. It is so weird because I feel like I am going to get my period and nothing happens. The robotic hysterectomy was a blessing for me. I had to sit on a soft cushion for a few weeks and could not sit straight up because it was uncomfortable and felt like I was sitting on a really short broom handle... So I laid on a recliner or in bed as much as I could while recovering. I followed the rules and did not lift anything over 30 pounds and my husband would load and unload the dishwasher for me because that motion was too much for me. Other than that I was able to do a lot more then I thought I could. If your nervous, don't be... I had five holes poked above my belly button and they healed and I can barely see any of them now. I did not take any pain medication... Not even over the counter meds. God is good! Modern medicine has come a long way.

How are you feeling after your hormones won't help anymore? Did you get information about the higher risks with osteoporosis before surgery/after? Asking since I have a risk of going though it myself, expecting the results and outcome of my big biopsy any day now..

[@carriesmith1606]

After an unsuccessful ablation last year I am having a partial hysterectomy in March to stop bleeding. It won't cure my chronic iron deficiency anemia, but at least this they will be able to stop this bleeding. I have been requiring weekly iron infusions for over a year. Looking forward to getting this surgery and recovery behind me. I asked my surgeon about spinal anasthesia, but my Doctor said no. So general anasthesia is the way to go. Thank you for your time!

[@jacquelineperry9594]

I had a full one and I'm only having bad hot flashes at times.

[@Yo-yo-dt5ze]

Iam a yr and 8 months post op of total hysterectomy leaving ovaries after having endometriosis and adenomyosis my surgery was a success with no complications I also had a cystoscopy after hysterectomy to check and make sure my bladder was ok and not injured the recover was tough the first 3 days but afterwards it was a breeze I don’t regret my decision I had my hysterectomy at the age of 42 and would do it all over again no painful periods or pain during sex I still have discharge which is normal unless I have an infection

[@marcellamcduffie8218]

Thanks for sharing this info. Great video .

[@phoe-321]

I have high risk pregnancies. Had a stroke while I was pregnant with my twins I’m 37 mother of 3,have prolonged periods that lasts MONTHS,that are very heavy with blood clots coming out,just got the news I have not 1 fibroid but fibroids,I’m done having children.I feel a Total Hysterectomy is the best route for me.

[@Anniepat2340]

I had a full hysterectomy at 45…. Almost 10 years ago. I had a fibroid tumor bigger than my uterus. It was the best thing I had done not that I had a choice but no more periods and they cleaned out my endometriosis. Unfortunately they couldn’t save my ovaries but did not experience early menopause (went on a LOW dose pill called paradal (sp?) for a few years)…. Stopped after age 51? I found this info while googling “do I need to see a genie to still have a pelvic exam even after a full hysterectomy?? I have NO uterus, NO cervix, no tubes, no ovaries. So no need? I get my annual mamo separately. My doc original said no need to but now coming on age 55, I wonder.

[@SSBELL-2018]

Thank you This was so helpful I’m having a hysterectomy next week

Women who’ve had hysterectomies may enter menopause almost 4 years earlier. The blood supply to the ovaries may be compromised during surgery by ligation, spasm, or thrombosis. Early menopause is known to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk such as heart attacks and strokes, as well as osteoporosis. Premature menopause can also increase the risk of dementia.Hysterectomy weakens the supports for the upper and mid-vagina, and can cause stress urinary incontinence. Removal or cutting of the ligaments supporting the cervix and vagina may predispose women to the development of vaginal vault prolapse. Furthermore, the effectiveness of prolapse repair can be compromised by the removal of the cervix and ligaments, which are used to anchor an effective repair.Studies regarding the effect of hysterectomy on a woman’s sex life can be confusing. Essentially, it depends on whether her symptoms that led her to consider hysterectomy were affecting her sex life in the first place. Women whose sex life was ruined by menstrual symptoms might find hysterectomy “liberating”, improving the sex life that they didn’t previously have. On the other hand, women whose sex life was not affected by their menstrual symptoms need to be aware that studies have demonstrated decreased libido and altered orgasm sensation, especially after total hysterectomy. Nerve damage during surgery may be a cause.For some women, uterine contraction is essential for orgasm. This could be lost after hysterectomy, leading to failure to orgasm or changes in the nature of them. Surgery may also change the anatomy of the top of the vagina, resulting in an altered sensation for women and their partners. Constipation following hysterectomy has been reported, and this may be a result of nerve injury.A recent Mayo Clinic study has shown that hysterectomy, even without removal of the ovaries, is associated with a 33% increased risk of coronary heart disease. The risk is increased by 250% if the hysterectomy is performed on women younger than 35 years of age

Bro copy and pasted their whole essay into the comments 😭

[@CRISISColetta]

I'm supposed to have a hystectomy on Monday and I feel like I'm not really getting the truth. They keep saying that I should have Tylenol and Adil at home for after my hystectomy. I don't get the feeling from them that they think its such a big deal.

[@Shay3356]

I cancelled my full hysterectomy and shrunk a 11cm fibroid myself. Our bodies are built to heal on its own.

[@sineadtyrrell6163]

How did you do that?

[@Carlos-od7jr]

How did you shrink your fibroids I'm trying to have my wife avoid a hysterectomy because I know she's going to get extremely crazy after the surgery🙏

[@nancycastro3925]

Is it normal to be spotting blood five years after a hysterectomy? I have started having spotting blood for a couple of days and am a little scared to even go get checked out. My sister passed away from cervical cancer four years ago.

[@realBokidwell]

Nancy Castro get off you tube and see a Dr! Wth?

[@MarianaLopez-pg1mp]

Nancy Castro did you have a partial of full hysterctomy?, I had a partial 15 months ago and I have been having light spotting aswell

[@Anniepat2340]

Hope u r doing ok Nancy… I see this is 5 years old. Never be afraid to get checked out. If u only had a partial… u need to still go annually! SO sorry about your sister 😢🙏🏻 even more reason to go often.

[@mossie1954]

Thank You :)

[@SHEILAETHEQUIETSTORM]

Good video...

[@deonshurn9118]

my husband say it feel like its nothing there no walls

[@connie2697]

Deon Shurn Will we gain weight

[@rebeccajones9757]

Good to know

[@survivor9898]

The surgeon doesn't tell women this before having your uterus removed. Men no longer bottom out on the cervix when it's all gone. It decreases the pleasure for the man and often women are no longer able to have a internal orgasm once the uterus and cervix is gone. Also, many women are thrown directly into hard core menopause. Not a gradual menopause naturally. Fibroid tumors often decrease in size after natural menopause. If you can save your uterus and cervix, it is best to do so. We need all our body parts for a reason...

[@LindaMalá-s7i]

horrible operation, the doctors should start treating and not just amputate, I'm 2 years post hysterectomy and the orgasm is still absolutely unsatisfying...

[@tfuthought]

I go in for mine on the 12 next month. So ready to be able to enjoy sex again. Haven't enjoyed it in 5 years because its so painful. Ready to not have to buy pad tampons or cups anymore. Just ready to fully enjoy my life with out being controlled by my flow. No more weeks of bleeding and hormones going out of balance anymore. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TiffanyLewis-n6n]

never have a hysterectomyt the side effects are terrible

[@aracelis0658]

Harming patients for no valid reason 😢 I bet she still has all her organs

[@SoJangHo37]

Dude Where? Did I Missed🤔

[@user-tz8qi]

im 16 and i just dont want kids

[@griffinharvey3910]

Don't do anything rash!!! I too didn't want kids. Changed my mind mid thirties, and had 2 kids. My only regret is that I waited so long. They're in their late 30s now, and are the greatest blessing in my life.
