Hi ladies,

Hope you are all well?

It's been a wee while since I've posted.

Over the last few days I've been overwhelmed with the feeling of loss. I honestly seem to be grieving the loss of my womb. Now I don't know where this has came from. Whether it's down to everything that has went on since surgery. Ive had quite a few issues since my hysterectomy and a couple of further surgeries.

Did any of you that have had your surgery have similar feelings? I'm unsure whether this is just part of the menopause and I'm maybe hormonal.

    Hi Jill

    I am almost 4 months post TAH and BSO so all removed, I am feeling the same way, crying all the time and very down, I have been out on a higher dose of premerin HRT and still feel low, I am having a lot of pain on left side of belly button and know this is not right, I have had a scan and nothing showing out been advised could be adhesions I go back to see my gynie on the 23rd November and hopefully he will help me as I am feeling I can't go on like this I'm horrible to my husband! I know I am but I have no sexual feelings at the moment and can't stand him touching me, I spoke to the doctor and advised it's normal?? Xxx I feel it's normal or is it?? I hope we can get done answers? Why did you have further surgery after your hysterectomy? Do you have urgency for the toilet? I have had many accidents for a wee as can't get there quick enough would like to hear from others if experienced this and what was done to help xxxx

      Hi nicola,

      Thanks for replying. These feelings are horrible and I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm also on higher dose of elleste solo. Still struggling with hot flushes and not sleeping. I had problems with bowels and had obstruction that needed dealt with under anaesthetic. Had to have my bladder and urethra sorted as there was also an obstruction and can't empty properly. I'm still using catheters which I was hoping to have stopped using by now. Constant UTI with the issue of me becoming resistant to the majority of antibiotics given.

      All being said I am so glad I had surgery as it put an end to the constant bleeding. I'm very hopeful that my hrt sorts everything out as it's quite embarrassing being mid 30s and having the sweats and flushing etc xxx

      I don't have any sense of urgency for the bathroom I'm afraid. Quite the opposite x
