I am planning to have hysterectomy next year, due to fibroids, means i will get menopause right away after surgery.
Is anyone want to share the story or your experience after hysterectomy?
I am scared about this thing but I don't have any option to get rid this fibroids.
I am 46 years old and has 2 teenagers.
Thanks

My date for my hysterectomy is the 6 th January and I'm still in the fence about cancelling it as it doesn't bother me all that much, all I get is pressure and heavy periods but they are not prolonged. My consultant said I needed a hysterectomy which I was absolutely gobsmacked about, my fibroid is 9-10 cm so big. I'm having an abdominal with everything removed I'm approaching 49 by the way.

My fibroids are quite big also, 10 cm and 5 cm and protruding to the right side of my tummy, it's so embarrassing and annoying.
I want to get rid of it.
I don't have the schedule for hysterectomy yet, but big chance will be next year.
I heard that if it be done by laparoscopic the healing process will be faster that abdominal. My doctor said so.

I wasn't given a choice for it to be done any other way, I'm not sure why.
Mine is on the left side and pushing my womb over to the right. I think I will ask why I can't have it done laparoscopic .
Keep in touch let me know how things go

You know i am still worried whether the hysterectomy will give me a lot of benefits or instead will give me more headache.
And you know I've never undergo surgery in my life so this hysterectomy make me freaking out, seriously.
Let me know and keep in touch.

Haha... That's right we are similar creatures ... I am glad you are funny person 😀
I am from Toronto, Canada... What about you, where are you from?
By the way, have you heard about Apple Cider Vinegar and Blackstrap Molasses?
Some people think that it can shrink the fibroids. A few months ago, I drank them but still didn't shrink the fibroids. So I stopped drinking that. But i am curious because i have searched right now, people with fibroids said that it can shrink.

I didn't realise you where from a different country. I love Canada.
I'm from England u.k.
I feel it's good to be able to chat to someone when your as worried as we are, I feel we have connected somehow. Hope you feel the same.
I have heard of blackstrap molasses and cider vinegar but I just don't fancy trying it, plus to be honest with a fibroid as big as mine in not sure it would work anyway haha.
Do you have Facebook ? If so we can keep in touch that way if you would like to.
Scribble back soon, and take care my lovely xx

I love England too, have you followed the story of your princess (Kate Middleton)? I love her. I wish I can meet her one day.
I had Facebook before but somehow it just don't exist anymore as I don't know I clicked something then to be froze.... 😀silly me
Do you have BBM (Blackberry Messenger)?
It's been 3 days I started again with apple cider vinegar but I feel my tummy don't feel good. It think it's reaction of acv but not sure. My appt with gyn still 5 weeks away, only to see the result of my ultrasound.
Take care,
Lily

Sorry I don't follow Royalty really, suppose living in England you just get used to it, although I do like prince William and Kate out of all the royals, but saying that Harry is funny he's kinda like the bad boy in the family haha.
I don't have blackberry messenger sorry. Shane about Facebook, but never mind.
I think our fibroids are to big for anything to work and we do need them removed but I am thinking of the laparoscopic approach now and I'm going to speak to my gynaecologist because for whatever reason she said I needed an abdominal hysterectomy and to take out everything I'm not sure why and I do believe this is what has freaked me out the most. Why is that I wonder ?
Scribble back soon
Ta ta for now

My gyn said to remove everything out too including the ovaries, so then I will be menopause after surgery.
She said she will do it with laparoscopic and the uterus will come out the whole thing from vagina... eewww
I cant imagine how things can come out, but she sure me about that.
Maybe in England they don't do like that, I don't know.
I read the true story people use laparoscopic Morcelator . Don't do laparoscopic with morcelator because the morcelator is dangerous, Just make sure your gyn don't use morcelator.

Your very young to be offered an hysterectomy so times must be hard for you, I really feel it for you. Think long and hard and weigh up all other options before making a decision.
Take care
