Going thru 7 months post op out uterus, tubes and cervix.. my biggest fear is prolapse the phase of prior hysterectomy was debilitating and suicidal at some point after hysterectomy its the fear of prolapse and going thru the same thing again… thanks for sharing this wisdom…😢😢😢

I had everything removed including 2 lymph nodes due to endometrial cancer which was low grade. The report from the gynaecologist said my cancer had not spread & no sign/negative in lymph nodes. They oncologist has reported there may be a possibility I may have Lynch Syndrome. So because of this, does that mean there is no help for me regarding HRT or any other help medically. ?? Even though I desperately need help with something!

I was told I had endometrial cancers. Had full hysterectomy. 4 months later I bled extremely heavy and hurried to ER. They didn't know anything about cancers. Catscan showed a lot of noduals.one 6 cm others small. I went to cancer center for radiation. . What prove did they have that it was cancer again. I read you can get polyps months after a hysterectomy. Then Dr. wanted me to get 3 more chemo. Then I find out my doctor kept sending me to get catscans of my chest for months and not of my area I had cancers in.Catscans there cost 10,000.00 each.WTH. I told her assistant. She was shocked too. I demanded one of my abdominal area.I got it. Another oncologist told me I have stomach cancer. 1.0. I said no I read the report. The tiny polyp is in the area surrounding my organs. Not the stomach. First she said in my stomach. When I told her I'm going to get a scope here in town she practically stuttered asking me if I was getting one. I said yes. She then said it's on top of the stomach lining. I said you said in. Now it's outside. I don't trust her or my other oncologist. I confronted my first oncologist about a dangerous immunotherapy drug she wanted me to take. She was quiet. Now she avoids me. Finance department lied to me. Found out a doctor lied about how many sessions I had on radiation to medicare. They lie about side effects of chemo on the eyes. I'm not stupid . I may be old. They call and call wanting me to get back on chemo. Ching ching. Then saying we'll pay everything. What BS. Medicare has been paying all my bills.Teir offering me 350.00 in gift cards for gas or eating and free lodging if I return. Uh no. Part of my lung collapsed. They don't care. She tells me to breathe deep and exercise. Wth. Every scar,cyst, lesion to them is cancer and they want to schedule chemo chemo. No!. For all people with weak immune system go to Walmart and get a yellow fruit called dragon fruit. It's oval shaped. Spike thorns on it. It looks like a kiwi fruit inside. Seeds are crunchy like rice krispies. And it has a light kiwi taste with honey flavor. A lot of water inside. It will boost your immune system by 200%> You'll have a lot of energy.

I had a cs 16 years ago an want a vbac im due 15 of February 15 . The thing is the hospital i give birth was closed a year after giving birth so i can't get my record of first birth to know if my scars inside an out or both horizontal.

So glad i got a 2nd opinion- my first gyno said I had no other option besides an anchor cut hysterectomy for my 8.7cm fibroid, and she said no medication would help me. I went to interventional radiologist and had UFE which was the most painful thing ive ever endured but it did stop the 60+ days of heavy bleeding where my hematocrit was 6. Then 2yrs later, my fibroid only shrunk 2cm, and was squishing my ovary causing wild pain and some heavier bleeding had ramped up. My new gyno prescribed transexemic acid and can do a robotic transvaginal so I dont have to be ripped open like a toddler's christmas present. Im so glad your videos are making sure everyone knows to explore lots of options.

Thank you for the video. My bleeding has become so much lighter after they removed fibroids.

I’m scheduled for Abdominal vertical hysterectomy can I request to go home the same day?

prefer to avoid hysterectomy altogether, it is a devastating operation for a woman's sex life, without a cervix sex is worthless and an orgasm without uterine contractions is absolutely unsatisfactory and weak...hysterectomy=mutilation of women

I had a radical hysterectomy 22 lymph nodes removed Adina carcinoma on my poorly differentiated stage one B one cervical uterine cancer recovery and everything is different you don’t actually recover completely from that surgery. I’m in pain every day going in for a CT scan tomorrow and hoping they can fix problems that came up since the surgery.

I am about to be scheduled for da vinci surgery and my ob said she will be taking everything, uterus, ovaries, tubes, cervix, because im 55 and have already gone into menopause. She is doing the surgery because of thickened endometrium and polyps, and they found morular metaplasia, and emdometrial hyperplasia without atypia...is it normal to remove the ovaries in this type of situation?

🤣 I thought my ovaries were just floating around! I didn't have many conversations before mine. We heard C, and before I knew it, I was having surgery. I wish i had them removed at the time.

Um,um,um.get to your point

I am scheduled for a operaion to remove a 9 x 15 x 14 cm complex ovarian cysts. Im 42 and have 7 children. The dr said shes going to reove my ovary with the cyst b3cause i dont need it anymore basically. She says there's a 1 percent chance even though i had tumor marker tests and there were no tumor markers. Id like to keep my ovaries for my hormones. It worries me she just wanted to snip it off. I. Trying to find a new dr. I had a tubal ligation 2 years ago.

You didn't mention that the pipelle endometrial biopsy is a blind test. The inside of the uterus cannot be seen during this test. The biopsy is done blindly and could easily miss a cancerous area of the uterus that the pipelle doesn't make contact with. Other gynecologists state that endometrial cancer is not evenly spread throughout the endometrial lining, but can be found in isolated growths within the uterus. The pipelle biopsy only samples a very small portion of the uterus. Some doctors state the biopsy only samples approx 4% of the endometrial lining. This probably leads to many false negative results. Gynecologists MUST come up with adequate pain control for this test. Approx 1 in every 3 women having this test describe this biopsy as torture, barbaric and traumatizing. Be honest about this painful procedure. You have to do better for women if you want us to receive gynecologic care. Please DON'T discourage women from voicing their painful experiences in the comment session. Women have the right to express their experiences with this test. Britain created a national Program to help address painful hysteroscopy procedures in their country BECAUSE women voiced their barbaric experiences and finally something is being done about it. Telling women to have a discussion with their doctor about analgesia before an endometrial biopsy is an insult to women. They simply won't provide analgesia, or they lie to women and tell them to take a couple of advil before the test. These meds DO NOT affect the pain from this test. Many gynecologists don't believe us when we say something is painful. "Just put up with the pain, it's only for a brief time" is misogynistic and borders on cruelty and patriarchal. Doctors have to do better... This isn't the 1800's.

Another example of doctors stating endometrial biopsies are painful....then expecting women to just tolerate them, since little can be done for pain control. " its less than 5 sec". Start treating women's pain with adequate analgesia....this isnt the 1800's. Shame on all gynecologists who either downplay womens pain or dont provide adequate analgesia.

I've just had a myomectomy. I'm not in peri-menopause yet but getting there (41). I'd like to be getting it in the future if I need it but am concerned HRT will be fuelling my fibroids? I still have two small fibroids left. Are there any HRT options that do not "feed" fibroids?

Thank you for sharing such truths about the embolization, I went for one and my fibroids symptoms subsided for a few years and came back more visous.

Thank you for this thorough explanation.

The conversation should be focused on the risks of not replacing estrogen, which is rapid bone loss, in spite of lifestyle, hardening of the arteries and dementia. Estradiol is what keeps a woman healthy. It lubricates the body's skin, joints, cartilage, cardio vascular system, vocal cords and vagina. It modulates bone turnover markers. The brain needs and loves estradiol for cognition and mood. Hot flashes are just the tip of the iceberg. We have had high levels of estrogen in our body since puberty. When our ovaries fail it doesn't mean the rest of us should. Women level up their thyroid hormone when low and they should do the same when estrogen goes low. The WHI was a poorly designed study from the outset with the average age of 63 and disease processes already having formed. The findings were not peer reviewed before the researchers made their claims to the media and the very important details were not explained. The study showed that estrogen was protective to the breasts in those not taking the synthetic progesterone called MPA (medroxy progesterone acetate). Those that did, had a slightly higher incidence of breast cancer but it was not statistically significant. It's important to note that the study used estrogen from horses urine (CCE/conjugated equine estrogen aka: Premarin) which is not bio-identical to a human, and it was in oral form which can increase risk of blot clots due to liver metabolism. Today we use transdermal bio-identical estradiol and oral micronized progesterone. We need not be afraid of putting back what our body was making for decades. Nothing is without risk but let's not get absurd. Look at all the risks of any pharmaceutical but people swallow the pills anyway. HRT for most women is safe and extremely effective. At this stage of life, women need to get serious about our health. You must exercise (resistance training/lifting) and eat food that is not processed. I suggest for anyone who wants more information to read Estrogen Matters by Dr. Avrum Bluming. He explains everything and provides references to the scientific studies.

I got an IUD when I was 16 and it was and still is the most painful experience of my life. At one point during the procedure the social worker asked me if we were doing this or not. Later I was diagnosed with vaginismus. Rip

Dr i have 3.5 cm follicular cyst in left ovary i want become a mother is it possible dr kindly suggest me what i should do please

I didnt get a choice or get any options with my surgery. I had low grade uterine cancer so is that why they took everything including cervix ? I didnt get answers to a lot of my questions. The consultant oncologist was abrupt, didnt seem to care about how I would feel, and all the specialists just seem to brush off most of my concerns, and couldnt answer about sexual function afterwards. A horrible experience. I enjoyed the sensations with my cervix, now that is all gone. Hopefully Ill still have other sexual function, and that I get help with some HRT...because I need it, not just for sexual function. 6 weeks post op.

Could bilateral ovarian hemorrhagic cysts and increased ca 125 reading of around 130 be the cause of delayed pregnancy and why? and how can they impact it if it accurs

My doctor kept me overnight and I was so thankful! I had a pain pump for about 18 hours and it was imperative for getting my pain under control. I had a laparoscopic robotic total hysterectomy leaving only my ovaries as they were healthy.

I had a total Hysterectomy and stayed in Hospital for 7 days then home with rest and not lifting then couple more visits to surgeon to see how I was and then home but I found some problems mainly not able to have sex anymore with husband and dry inside so have to insert a cream twice a week but I had to have this as cancer cells and a tumor so yes get educated on any of these procedures and specially after the effects. It took me three months to get over this operation and i am in my late 60's.

I would like to emphasize that the average age is 51 or 52, which means that there are women who are older than that when the enter menopause. It annoys me that I am 55 years old and have to argue with people that, even though I have had a hysterectomy, I have not yet gone through menopause.(My mother, who also had a hysterectomy, had tests that established she still had hormone levels capable of supporting pregnancy at 60 years old, which means she had not yet had menopause. And also means that it is highly likely I will be older as well.) People talk about menopause by only referring to the lack of a menstrual period, but it should be defined by the release of an ovum. As long as that happens, no matter what a woman's age is, then she has not gone through menopause.

Hello my first born was considered a big baby and had an emergency c section ,he was born with 4.5 kgs . am pregnant with my second child and my doctor told me i cant have a vbac cause if my first baby was big the second one would be ,is this really how it is cause i dont want to have another c section

Doctor i have a simple ovarian cyst for 4cm and because of f this have very long periods like for 13 days...what could i do plz

I had a total hysterectomy sept 2024 - and cervix removed via abdominal vertical incision due to large fibroids ! Best thing I have ever done it was a pretty hard recovery but now back in the gym swimming and running no more periods are swelling and on HRT happy to say never felt better 🎉

I'm glad you debunked the prolapse stuff. So many GPs preach everything will prolapse! This is even if you've had no babies.

Im 53 im having both colposcopy and endometrial biopsy the 27th . I have decided that if there is any precancer or cancer im having the uterus and cervix removed. This is the second time with a colposcopy i had one before and cell change caused the dr to freeze and scrape the cervix 30 years ago. Cancer on my dads side took all but two of nine siblings. Im wondering if this choice is reasonable

So the bigger health problem is "wandering bladder" rather than "wandering womb".

Going home the same day is brutal, it’s a major surgery, I recommend anyone going through it to request at least stay the night.

Hi dr. I got to know that i have multiloculated simple ovarian cyst of nearby 8 to 9cm and i have pain in left lower abdominal, and my gynac suggested to do laparoscopy. Do I really need to do surgery

I've had 2 c-sections. Pre-eclampsia with both. 2nd one surgery was very difficult - took a lot of time to get baby out due to level of scar tissue. The surgeon actually apologized to me, it was a hard case for her. I was so happy she got my baby out safe and took care of me. I was advised to consider no more pregnancies. I would have loved to have had a 3rd, but in my case the risks are too high. No more babies for me, I am grateful for my 2 angels.💖

Thank you! So informative and high quality video

I'm having hemorrhagic overian cyst on my right hand side

And I really want you to help me

I have hemorrhagic overian cyst on my right hand side, and retained product

Hi Doc, i had my right side ovary removed in October 2024, now my left side ovary has a multifullar cyst measuring 35/36 mm. Im getting pain now and then. What can be done to save my ovary

Question: Endometrium inside the uterus, having my uterus removed, SHOULD I HAVE MY OVARIES REMOVED for excessive bleeding + 5-10% chance of cancer in the uterus? Please advise My oncologist said removal of the ovaries is up to me to decide, not sure what to do :(

I’m 30 years old, in my second trimester (18 weeks) and just found out a few days ago a cyst has been found but I don’t have an symptoms and I’m not in any pain. I’m more worried than I should be I know but, this IS MY FIRST BABY!!! So I’m definitely scared a bit…..help, should I be worried for any reason??

I'm contemplating surgery for a bladder prolapse/cystocele and my doctor said a hysterectomy will help with the overall outcome. Can you explain why the hysterectomy would be necessary help to fix a cystocele? I have no pain or issues with my uterus/ovaries. Age 66.

Hi Dr, l have a cyst 1.8cm and gone through operation and my both ovaries removed but l,m still feeling pain & always bleeding whenever it's time for sex, ls it something to do with the cyst thing or what??

Thank you so much, this is the best video on the topic. Your patients are very lucky. For large fibroids that’s situated higher up, tennis ball size (biggest one), when opting for the laparoscopic route- how could they be taken out or are they going to needing something like Asesser (is this advanced technology available in the UK)?

Thanks for sharing, is there a limit of the sizes of fibroids for the laparoscopic route, also would you recommend Triptorelin 11.25mg(not 3mg) 1-3 months prior to the operation for patients with family history of early osteoporosis? If it’s going to be operating abdominally, would Triptorelin still has a place please?

Thank you so much for sharing. A lot of women experience difficulties in urinating a while after this hysterectomy. Which entry point for hysterectomy causes least complications for the bladder please? Thanks

I had a large ovarian cyst removed at 20 weeks pregnant and it had damaged my left ovary and fallopian tube so they were removed too. I am now 42 and during a ct scan for my CLL they detected another cyst on my left side. 18x15x11. I have had dull pain at this side and put it down to anxiety and tense muscles. Now this has to be removed and if they cannot save the ovary I will go into early menopause.
