Should I be worried?

I have phoned GATU twice to be told swab results not back, apart from ooze/bleeding which has reduced, I do not have any other signs/symptoms of infection.  Why is it such hard work to get information out of hospital? The receptionist at my Gp was more helpful! She said I should ring them back and make a nuisance of myself if that's what it takes! I have done this and eventually got someone to admit that this could last for a 'a week or so'. Apparently if there is an infection showing on swab results they will contact my Gp. Oh and it could take another 2-3days for results! Why do they think that they should keep this fairly simple information to themselves? I wouldn't have to have made so many phone calls making ' a nuisance' of myself if I had been given proper information of what to expect after the operation whilst I was recovering at home. I'm sorry to rant, but it might help someone else to know to keep asking questions, eventually it might penetrate the nhs that they could save time and money if the gave information to patients especially those like me who had never experienced an operation before and don't know what is 'normal' afterwards. The hospital is obviously fed up of me.

Fully agree and as the saying goes "They who shout loudest ". The service is so overburdened that is the only way to stay on the radar. Not good but true.

I was 44 when diagnosed and felt the same as you did want a surgically induced menopause. Is there no way they can remove fibroid without uterus? Perhaps ask another Gp in your practice for an opinion?

Hi I intend  to  get a second  opinion  it my body after all thanks I will keep  you posted 

Yes agree ask if they can remove fibroid without uterus, but don't think they will think it a good idea to leave it in as can't they cause other health problems if left?

If you have one ovary left, removing the fibroid should not put you into early menaupause.

How long have you had the fibroid? If its been a while and its not causing any issues, chances are it will not cause you problems. Furthermore, fibroids tend to shrink the closer you come to menaupause. Are you having the cyst removed by keyhole?

That being said, if Dr. could remove both my cyst and uterus by keyhole, I would get rid of my fibroid too.

Thanks Margaret, it does seem to be getting less now, just another thing they don't tell you might happen.

Hope 2015 will be happy and healthy for us all.

Hi Margaret, can you remember how long the oozing lasted for?

I am seeing practice nurse tomorrow, changing dressing morning and evening myself at the moment and tomorrow will be 7 days, it has reduced but currently still oozing. Due back at work on Monday.
