    I’m getting my uterus out tomorrow. Scared to death. I’m keeping my ovaries. Fallopian tubes and uterus are going, plus the grapefruit size fibroid that’s been pissing me off. I had a hard time accepting I needed a hysterectomy but I kept asking questions and learned more and realized it was the route to take. I came across a terrible website though and they claimed that your gate and bone structure changes from a hysterectomy. I asked my doctor and she shook her head and said absolutely not. Our uterus does not hold up our skeleton Lolol. But this is what you find when you search online! There are medical studies though that have some scary stats like increase in heart disease or bladder issues. I am going to be taking estrogen to combat the heart disease. Not sure if the bladder issue will be an issue but I found some aftercare videos for exercises to promote healing and pelvic floor that can be done once I’m cleared for exercise. I’m hoping for the best.

    I'm scheduled for complete hysterectomy in October. You both mentioned you try to get patients home same day if possible. My surgeon mentioned i qualified for robotic but would be an overnight stay. I was experiencing post menopausal bleeding and had endometrial biopsy and ultrasound. Both cameback negative but still recommended hysterectomy due to family history of colon cancer. Thanks for sharing your expertise as i am extremely nervous about the surgery 😢

      Yes I would say same day discharge is often the normal now with the minimally invasive surgery, wouldn’t hurt to ask! An alternative option could be to repeat endometrial biopsies on a yearly (or so) basis if bleeding continues. Also to get genetic testing if you have a family history of cancers. There are always options!

      I had my surgery yesterday. Make sure you are not having it at a teaching hospital. I begged my surgeon and everyone in my pre-op room to plz have no students.. senior staff only. i did not want students doing exams on me while i was unconscious.. I just logged into my patient portal and it says that my surgeon.. who i did NOT see befor surgery.. he sent his lackey.. he said that i consented to vaginal and rectal exams AND I DID NOT. i cant stop crying and im so angry. do not trust them.

      @@lushpaw1 Yes it is always your choice. I think you should try and clarify with them on what happened. I can see a couple scenarios ... maybe their note is a template and they forgot to remove that text, and they did respect your wishes. Also, in order to do a minimally invasive hysterectomy, we need to be able to access the vagina. Maybe thats all that was meant by vaginal exams, not that they did exams only for teaching purposes. Which i agree is wrong to do for an unconscious and vulnerable patient

    i just had a hysterectomy in august. i had uterine prolapse , enlarged uterus and a very large cyst on my right ovary that had to be drained to remove. it was the size of a small watermelon by the time my surgery was performed . everything was removed leaving my left ovary to prevent going into surgical menopause.

    I’m looking at getting a hysterectomy due to Adenomyosis, I also have Endometriosis. We’ve also discussed removal of the ovaries due to PMDD because I’m 45 and PMDD sucks and being able to have steady hormones through HRT sounds way better. I’m also in perimenopause.

    I have a prolapsed uterus. Im getting my uterus out, tube's, keeping my ovaries and cervix. This will be done laproscopicly with 3 small incisions in my abdomen. My surgeon is trying to talk me into taking my ovaries out. I researched saw they protect you from strokes, heart attacks. Is that true? Im 63

    • @newschoolobgyn
      @newschoolobgyn  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yea you are right, the hormones from the ovaries protect many functions of the body. However this is a time where that production goes to zero. It can be different for everyone but generally after 55-60 yo we may recommend removal as the hormone level often is minimal and to reduce chances of ovarian cancer. Maybe a hormone lab test could help sort this out?

Symptoms still manageable with a little discomfort. Should i take lzrtial hysterectomy or follow my docs advice to take gnRH? Thank you.

    • @newschoolobgyn
      @newschoolobgyn  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As always, I cannot give personal medical advice. However treatment of fibroids is often based on symptoms. I am assuming you mean GnRH agonist which is Lupron. I personally rarely use this medication because of the side effects. But I do think you should have good options still whether surgery or not 😊

    I have endometriosis, and after 2 d and Cs, my lining kept getting thick. I had monthly periods, up until I was sixty nine years old.
    The periods went down to maybe two a year. I'm wondering, should I still just keep getting D&Cs. I have never had night sweat. Will this change my quality of life.

      It’s definitely a choice. That is a long time to have bleeding. I’m hoping the hysterectomy would be minimally invasive, which should make recovery better. I don’t think there is a wrong choice there

    Dumb question, but what happens to the ovaries if the uterus is no longer holding them in place? Do they just bounce around in your pelvis, or is there something else holding them in the same place?

    • @newschoolobgyn
      @newschoolobgyn  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Not a dumb question! The ovaries have their main connections to the uterus via the utero-ovarian ligamant and your pelvic sidewall via the IP ligament/ ovarian vasculature
