Possible sterilisation/Hysterectomy
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi, i a 34 and have a history of Ovarian cysts. I had a Oephectomy 3 years ago as i had a mass cyst that was attached to my bowels. However i have now been told that i have a bi-lateral salpinge. Fallopian tube is blocked and damaged, i will never naturally have children. I also have another cyst on my only ovary left. I have been booked in for being sterilised in January of next year, my issue is do i just have a hysterectomy and be done with all the problems i hve with cysts. Help??

Hi, Tanya,
Sorry to learn you're going through this. I think that's a question you should ask your doctor. I am inclined to take your view. I'm not sure that the operation that you're scheduled for would mean that other cysts or growths wouldn't then occur in your uterus. Repeated surgeries can also cause the growth of adhesions and scar tissue in the abdomen. It is my impression that you're sick of all this and just want it to be done. Am I correct?
Best of luck to you, and let me know what you decide and how you get on!

I understand. Doctors seem to forget that, when they become really conservative about some procedures. Kind of like taking off a finger, bit by bit when it all needs to go.
Having your uterus removed does have some side effects, and without that ovary you will be going into menopause, if you're not already. But you won't have to worry about getting growths in your uterus, either!

I know, I have had my right Ovary removed already because of cysts etc so loosing the other won't make much difference.

Yes, and then with no ovaries, or tubes why would you need a uterus? Then you'll have only one additional surgery to recover from.
Please let me know what you decide and how you do.
