Hysterectomy has made my anxiety worse

I've been going though the same .thing. my body is not the same as it was before...I'm kinda regretting having it done...my mood is awful and the bleeding is still there after 6 month..it hurts when having sex my stomach is still big I hate it..my blood pressure is higher than before from worrying to much about all this

hi Julie 11 weeks is still early days I'm 5 months on and still have bad days physically and mentally I've tried a herbal remedy called chaste berry which helped a little with hormone imbalance but still there are days when it gets you down. It's a big shock to the system. keep mending and try not to be too hard on yourself.

thank u ..if there is will there's a way...we can do this

Hi Julie

I had my TAH 13 weeks ago and I'm still not 100%. My stomach is still swollen and painful if I do too much lifting. It feels like I'm carrying a bowling ball around with me a lot of the time especially late in the day.

I'm on blood pressure tablets, sertraline and HRT but still struggling with anxiety. Some days I have to make myself leave the house.

I had everything removed including my cervix so not suffering as I was the menopause symptoms.

You've got to be patient and remember your body has been through a massive trauma. We will come through the other side eventually its just going to take time. Don't be hard on yourself and try to rush recovery, you're doing amazing x The ladies on this forum are an amazing help, I don't know what I would have done without their advice and support xx

Here here Julie I totally agree it's given me such relief to know I'm not the only one going through this as that's how it makes you feel and the comments on this forum have been so uplifting and supportive thank you ladies.

Hi Julie. Thanks for starting this post. I am 9 weeks post op after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Everything taken except for one ovary. With the pain I've been dealing with before surgery and the 3 week periods, my anxiety levels were through the roof having panic attacks often.

I thought surgery would cure that. Yes, the period pain is gone but now having all other sorts of pain (neck, back, jaw pain - all from probably sleeping in same position, not being able to exercise, and working from home in a very non ergonomic posture). The pain has continued to make me anxious and I do feel a bit like I've become a hypochondriac health wise but based on what other women are writing, this is all probably somewhat... "normal" just having shock to our bodies and of course it affecting us emotionally as well.

This is so nice to know we are not alone because many others just don't understand. My husband is very patient and caring but sometimes he just thinks I'm going crazy. I'm glad to know I am not alone. Thank you again!
