I had my hysterectomy a week and a half ago due to fibroids and adenomyosis. For the last few months leading up to my surgery I never stopped bleeding and the pain was unbearable. I feel so much better now.
I got my hysterectomy cause I didn’t want kids. Turns out I had cysts forming and fibroids or something. So I’m glad I got it out when I did cause I am NOT about to deal with this for no reason.
I have a very small dose of estrogen as a patch to keep my bones healthy. But I am 1 week post op and LOVING LIFE!! Such an easy surgery to have and to recover from. I was in 0 pain after 24hrs. 0. Just sore here and there.
I am a person that seriously believes that if you are done having kids, don’t want kids, or are in a lot of pain… just get the surgery. It’s so pointless to keep them in just for them to cause you pain 🤷🏼♂️ 💖
I had mines recently. I had fibroids and adenomyosis. I was unable to relieve the symptoms. Before I had my hysterectomy, my bleeding was so bad, the pain..just could not continue living that quality of life anymore. It's almost three weeks since I had mines, so im still healing and resting
I completely understand where you are coming from. Hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
How are you feeling since your surgery?
@@lavishcurls87 im feel great, lol..it was a good decision for me. I wasnt mentally prepared for the pain at the time, but all is well. Thanks for asking😊
@@LailaLaTishaBradford I have the same Adenomyosis and fibroids, but told mine are small. I finally decided to do the hysto but now my Dr is now saying the hysterectomy may not resolve all of the symptoms because I’m keeping my ovaries. Now I’m torn whether to do it or not. I’m tired of the pain, the bleeding, and pressure and feel my quality of life sucks but afraid to do this surgery and still feel the same. 😩
@Mzbrneyz1 I will tell you it was the best thing for me. My quality of life is so much better. I wake up smiling knowing all that pain, discomfort, and the dreadful bleeding is no more. I was painful for about three weeks after my hysterectomy; I mean i was not prepared for it, but I'm so happy I did it. I kept my ovaries and so for I have been good. Best of luck. Your quality of life will improve.
Thank you so much for sharing Ita
No TMI at all This kind of personal experience information is invaluable
🥰
Thank you for sharing your hysterectomy journey. I just had my hysterectomy November 2nd 2022 and just came home Saturday. On bed rest pain medication, fibroids took over my uterus and hernia repair. Your videos helped me to know I wasn't alone.
Thank you so much for sharing all of your experiences. The details you share are not TMI... they are very valuable to us.
I will be getting one in the near future because I have several huge fibroids. A 56 year old woman should not look pregnant.😦 Plus my mother died from ovarian cancer. It's just time. I do fear the recovery pain as I cannot take any meds except Motrin & Tylenol. Plus I'm very fearful of post op depression.
I’m sorry for the loss of your mother. ❤️
I didn’t really feel any pain so Motrin or Tylenol may be fine. As long as you have a good support system depression may be avoidable. ❤️❤️
Hope all goes well with your surgery ❤️❤️❤️
How are you now? My turn is coming.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am almost three weeks post-op from my hysterectomy and appreciate your information.
You’re welcome ☺️
I have stage 4 endometriosis and BRCA1. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I just had mine today and I am home. I had everything removed 😢. I had PCOS for 24 years and I had irregular period until I went for fertility in 1999 treatments and then stopped it, so I was irregular again until I was on bc until 2009 when I got regular after moving in with my then bf and his two teen daughters. But they were still heavy and painful. They got diagnosed with iCS with pelvic floor dysfunction. Then in 2017, I had the Mirena iud to help but it was more painful and had it removed 3 months later. Then in 2018, I had uterine ablation done, which helped for about e year but then the pain and the pcos got worse and I was tired of it. Went to my obgyn who wanted a biopsy done before we did the laproscopic one taking everything out and now waiting to see what happens 😮.
I have also this health issue but pains stopped after medical check up. I was planning surgery but than I gave up. I feel fine now.
That so awesome! No unnecessary surgeries!!! My pain lasted for about 14+ years & I couldn’t take it anymore. ❤️
Thank you sooo much for sharing. I’m scheduled for my surgery soon. You’ve been very helpful. Stay healthy!
You’re welcome & you as well. ❤️
Abnormal bleeding and at 57 I just can’t deal with it anymore. Plus cancer runs in my family. Scheduling mines soon after my consult
Thank you so much for sharing. it’s been suggested for me to have one since I’ve been diagnosed with a congested pelvic. I’m so scared. People think I should deal with it since I’m only 32. And won’t be able to have anymore children, But their not feeling this pain!!!
Do what is best for you!!
I've been diagnosed 27yrs ago with endometriosis . I've had 2 repair surgery and 3 laps. 2011 I was placed on birth control pills and depot shots to stop my cycle all to together. 2020 I was planning the surgery but COVID came and no. 2021 I couldn't because I had COVID and it took 10 months to recover. Jan 22, I'm done I went to a different gyn, ultrasound showed fibroids and endometriosis that was all over the place. The week before surgery I bleed like a river. I wish I would've done this 10 years ago
Wow my surgery was scheduled for May 2020 but couldn’t do it because of covid. Finally got it done 3 weeks ago!!
Hi Bethesda,
I share a similar story of fibroids as yours. I was diagnosed with fibroids during an ultrasound when I was 27 yrs. I had one open myomectomy after that immediately. I was then put on birth control for one and half years , but new fibroids kept coming back. Then COVID happened in 2020 and we did not plan for a year .lot conceive. In mid 2021, Doctor advised for IVF and we have 5 embryos freezes since he didn’t want to give time to fibroids to grow. I had a second myomectomy since 3 fibroids were in the cavity. I got pregnant with freezed embryos in 2022 June but had a miscarriage at 7 weeks . I decided to try HIFU , acupuncture, eastern medicine , nothing worked . Fibroids grew back really bad, 10 fibroids now. One measuring 15 cm. Hence my doctor advised for total open hysterectomy but to retain ovaries. M at the hospital now. Recovering well. 5 yrs of fibroid pain and struggle has come to an end.
Sorry for the long post. Tc❤
I’m having a hysterectomy in January. I’m hoping for the best. My uterus is enlarged and I have adenomyosis.
Thanks sis for sharing your experience. I'm 46 and will have my surgery next Thursday
Hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
@@Evita_Raylena Surgery was Thursday and I have no pain at all. I've been up and walking. Honestly feels like nothing happened. If it wasn't for the incisions and paper work I wouldn't believe I had surgery.
Same here next week
@@1wileysgirl pray my recovery is like yours. Was it robotic
@@jusme9400 I pray it is too my dear. No it was laparoscopic
Having abdominal hysterectomy in 2 days. Thanks for the information!
Hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
@@Evita_Raylena Thank you so much!
New subscriber here we have some similar stories thanks for your content
I will be having my hysterectomy in March because of Fibroids. Im in my late 40's. Im scared. I have 3 children 12 to 31. Im tired of dealing with this. Aire go the hysterectomy. Thanks for your story. Im subscribed. ❤
Hi, I just had a hysterectomy last Friday. I am recovering pretty well and actually don't have any pain. You will be alright, just trust in the Lord.
Thank you for sharing. 👍🏾
Really appreciate your Hysterectomy videos...can you give an update how life has been?
I will record a 2 years after hysterectomy video
My story is similar to yours. 😢 I’m happy for you.
I have one scheduled for in May. Found out I have Lynch Syndrome and all of my moms side of the family is gone due to lynch cancers. I am 37 and being proactive, but can't lie...Im scared for the surgery and aftermath. So I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing. Do you take any hormones replacement therapy?
Hi! Hope all goes well for you. No, I am not on hormone replacements. I still have 1 ovary ❤️
I have lynch Syndrome too. Will have my surgery in a couple of months.
I had my hysterectomy (took everything except the ovaries) last week. Never had children. My fibroid mass grew outside of the uterus and doubled the size of my uterus!!! Had mine for pretty much the same reasons you had yours. What did your abscess feel like? Is it the same thing as a seroma? I have this fluid around the incision site which feels odd. Left a message for the doctor but also trying to research on my own. THANK YOU!🙏🏿
keep winning family
First off, thanks for sharing. I will be getting a total abdominal hysterectomy next week and I'm nervous! Secondly we use to work together in the Yo! What are the odds of me coming across your video. Hope all is well!
Good luck with your surgery. ❤️🩹
Small world! What job?

@@Evita_Raylena long time ago... maybe 05/06 ish
@@NotYaAverageGirl84 OMG yes!!! I remember you. How have you been?
@Evita_Raylena doing great, minus my nerves about this procedure. Glad to see you!
What about life after? Are there issues? Women issues? Intercourse? Hormones? Sheesh...it is a consideration for me and I am looking for information?
Everything had been fine for me, no major issues besides growing an abscess & it rupturing a couple of weeks after surgery. Intercourse is still the same. I still have one ovary so I still produce my own hormones. Life is so much better after getting a hysterectomy; the pain that I was suffering from due to my endometriosis was unbearable. Hope that helps ❤️
1:08 not TMI. Women have pain everywhere, normalize talking about it
Thank you for sharing your story. I had my tubes tied and found out I have fibroids. My dr said they are so large it might require a hysterectomy which is how I came across your channel.
I had mine Oct.20.22 and i still have my ovaries. It was the best thing for me. The bleeding & pain but everyone said life would be better and i would get my life back and i have. I am 9weeks recovery but now i want to workout and my stomach is still swollen i feel. Any advise on working out or to bring the swelling down?
Ask your doctor about working out. Slow, listen to your body. ❤️
Hello. How would you go about talking to your doctor for a hysterectomy? I just turned 25 almost 2 weeks ago. I'm wanting one because of heavy nonstop bleeding. I literally just got done bleeding 20 days straight and I'm on Birth control. I was told by my mother that uncontrollable uterine bleeding runs in the family and the only way to fix it is a hysterectomy or experimental medicine. I'm scared to talk to my dad because he's very old school. And laughed in my face when I said I wanted one before. But this pain and the bleeding is horrible and I also have PCOS and fibroids too. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
It’s your body & you have a choice. Tell your doctor what you just told me. My doctor actually recommended that I have mine.
@@Evita_Raylena Thank you.
Great video! I'm considering a hysterectomy. May I ask did you experience any menopausal symptoms though you still have one ovary left?
I do have very mild hot flashes every blue moon & that’s about it.
@@Evita_Raylena Okay that seems manageable. Thank you for responding. I look forward to more videos. Take care! ❤
My pleasure ❤️
Please talk abour the sex life after total hysterectomy
Im planning one too - for Adenomyosis / Endo - worried about adhesions and scar tissue pain following. Did you ahve any of this ? It is normal part of healing but I know it can be painful in the months and yrs after.
I feel a little pain nothing like my endometriosis pain though.
Don't get a hysterectomy and don't leave Jehovah
