Just got my pathology report from my hysterectomy done May 21 need help reading the medical term

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi,

I am new here. I had my hysterectomy done on May 21, Its been a week today. My post opt appointment is not for another week.

I received my pathology report threw my patient portal. There is a few words I don't understand.

My report goes something like this and I have left some parts out. I would just a little more information on the report below

 The endometrium scarred and necrotic measuring up  2mm thickness

I think necrotic means rotten tissue

The remainder on myometrium has a trabeculated architecture.

All benign. no fibroids or discolorations identified

Post ablation tubal pain syndrome with hematometra, pelvic pain, cesarean x 3

Laparocopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy.

adhesions in the lower uterine segment

bladder dissected off the lower uterine segment (sounds like problems in the future)

the bowel packed and a interrupted figure of eight suture was placed

Why was my sutured? 

estimated blood loss 200cc

onoriented ecotocercix ( have no clue)

adhesions on lower uterine segment ( adhesions caused by what?) The ablation maybe

Extra information:

After my last c section in 2016, I had a tubal.

My periods where painful, very heavy and made my life miserable.

The summer of 2017 I became very ill. I went to the urgent clinic for UTI symptoms and was told it was yeast or sti put on meds for all. Few days later I was worse. Went back on weekend and all test negative except urine culture. Told to quit taking meds and put on Bactrim. Fast forward I felt sicker and after 3 more Er visit's. I was treated for Pid even after all test negative. My urine culture came back for positive for E coli (no one called me or doctor from the hospital) I did not know until weeks after being treated for Pid.  So I guess I had a really bad Kidney infection and all the antibiotics killed it.

I still had miserable periods and doctor suggest Novasure ablation. No more periods!

So in October 2017 I had it done. I had no periods after, but the pain was worse each month until I could not stand it anymore. I went to many doctors appointment trying to figure out why I was in so much pain. Some of the doctors acted like I was just drug seeking and the pain was just manifested in my head and tested me for std's again. All negative. I felt humiliated and mad. I am a mother of four children. I work and take care of my family, clean my house and cook. A working house wife. Not a drugged out crack whore. I went to my gyn and was tested for uti, which was neg after 2 more trips. I finally get a appointment with the MD who did my ablation. I get there and we go to her office for a TALK.  I felt like I was being sent t the principals office. She then tells me to go on a diet

That I have food allergies causing my inflammation and pain.

I said no don't believe that's my problem. I refused to leave until I have ultrasound done.

They tried to sch 2 weeks out. I held my ground and said no I want one today. 2 hours later she see's the  hematomatra  on the screen. Then  was scheduled for surgery 3 weeks later. I did try to get a different doctor but the surgery wait was even longer. It was the longest 3 weeks of my life. Felt like daily labor pains. I went to the ER because of my pain but they would not do anything because pain does not kill you. I feel like filing suit against this doctor. I feel like I suffered pain mentally and physically. My life was put in danger because the surgery was prolong and I could of become sepsis. After surgery I coded because of tachycardia, fever, high blood pressure. Which pretty much describes sepsis symptoms. I just hope I do not have other medical problems from this.
