Hysterectomy,,?


,,or partial?What can you tell me about this.They want to do this because I have uterine fibroid tumors that are large.Im too chicken to go under the knife & Iv read that more people die from complications of surgery than from fibroids themselves.Also does your stomach fall into the empty space causing acid reflex?I know that sounds silly,,please tell me off your experience.How long does it take to heal?How long is the hospital stay?Thx sooo much.

3-5 days in hospital
6 months healing (external AND internal work)
they readjust various organ placement, most notably re-anchoring the bladder to other structures, since it is achored to the uterus
had mine 4 years ago and am fine
keep your ovaries if you can for more natural hormones and menopause (i couldn't)
you can also choose to keep your cervix if you'd like (i did)

Well, it was good for me because my former boss had one and she was out for two months or longer. It was very peaceful at my job.

I had a one about 14 years ago - the best thing I ever did. I kept my ovaries.

No, your stomach doesn't fall causing acid reflux. :)

The hospital stay was about 2-3 days, depending on which type of surgery you'd be having. (Note: This is based on my own experience 14 years ago.)

I took 8 weeks off of work, but went back at 7 weeks. My husband stayed home with me for the first day I got back, but he went back to work the next day.

i stayed only one night!! they tell you to take it easy for at least 6 weeks after surgery to heal properly. i went back to work at 4 weeks and was a lil sore the first day. i still have my ovaries (partial hysterectomy). you will be fine. if your ovaries aren't affected then leave them alone.

They generally do it by laproscopy now. I stayed for less than 24 hours after surgery and pain was very minimal. I was fine with just taking OTC medicines. Your stomach won't fall and it won't cause acid reflux. Healing after laproscopic surgery like that is only a couple of weeks but you will feel fine in just a couple of days. I had the laproscopic surgery vaginally assisted and it wasn't bad at all. I had a total hysterectomy.
