LIFE UPDATE: HOW MY BODY CHANGED AFTER MY HYSTERECTOMY 

I am almost 40 and had full hysterectomy 9 years ago. It was an emotional moment for me because I had no children and would never have children in the future. The drive I had was my health was priority over everything. So yes it was done. Thumbs up Shell for your story to many who are or have had a recent hysterectomy.

I have reached the 6 mo milestone after having a complete hysterectomy with oophorectomy . I asked my Dr to get it ALL out. Age 70 is way too old to deal with bleeding. Dr also found a cancerous tumor lodged in the uterine wall. So I am glad to have all that plumbing out. Major recovery time was about 6 weeks, then I began to feel more normal. I still get random twinges. As for bladder issues.. the uterine muscles supports the bladder, so once that organ is gone, the bladder relaxes a bit. I am grateful my incontinence was temporary, however I keep a few panty liners in my bag at all times. Just know that every woman's recovery is different. Try to keep a good attitude , and if you feel down, allow yourself that time to mourn the loss. Those feelings are temporary. Love yourself. Cut yourself some slack. Ask for help when you need it. You are NOT your organs. You are your beautiful SPIRIT and you are worthy of love.

I just had a hysterectomy yesterday and this pain is no joke. I look forward to this healing process

Ladies if you're constipated after surgery PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not push!!!!!!!

I’m three days out from mine and have no pain today, the first two days I had nothing more than bad cramps and soreness like I’d done too many crunches. I know I’m one of the lucky ones. So grateful.

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and im feeling great 😊😊. I can totally relate to the excitement over the feeling of emptiness where my uterus used to be. Im literally so glad she's gone, i've hated my uterus since menarche because the pain and heavy bleeding was always so overwhelming, debilitating , and embarrassing. I felt like my anatomy was a punishment, I'm 29 now, and for the first time since menarche, i finally feel like i have a shot at a good quality of life. I've also been experiencing night sweats, i walk up and down 46 stairs to do laundry, so im partially thankful to my night sweats for a speedy return of mobility lol. They knicked my ureter during the procedure, which caused me to have to keep the foley catheter in for the 2 weeks, and honestly, the catheter was the greatest source of discomfort during my healing process. I was supposed to let a nurse remove it tomorrow, but i took it out on Friday, i couldn't take it anymore lol. But as soon as i removed the catheter i instantly felt a million times better. Now the only real discomfort i feel is the itchiness at my incision site, which means its healing. I have a follow up with the surgeon on Thursday. Just wanna thank you for posting this video and sharing your story😊. Videos like this open the door for conversations that way too many women/people with uteruses have been shamed out of having. Its time for us to stop suffering in silence. Thank you to everyone in this comment section for sharing your experiences as well, im enjoying reading them, and my heart goes out to all of you ❤️.

Hey Sis Yes I had my Surgery May 2, 2023 I’m 5 days post op And I’m moving around and feeling so much better every day I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy Cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and left ovary removed The left ovary was unplanned until entry due to a mass I just thank God it’s over and I’m alive and up moving around the house with minimal pain I’m still taking it easy Thank you so much for enlightening others Sisters about your journey I’m definitely looking forward to the non cycle experience from the pain and suffering that I experienced sometimes twice monthly I prayed about everything and I was at peace before and afterwards When I experienced 2 cycles in April I think that put the icing on the cake God knew what he was doing because the fear for the surgery went out the window I became very much ready Day 1 I was high as a kite so I slept, I do remember being very nauseous but never vomited I’m a natural woman as well so I went with the Tylenol and Motrin only Slept on my back but now I’m sleeping on my left side releasing so much gas The gas is the worst part for me I sleep really good and now I’m coming off the meds because I’m not experiencing much pain Just gas and it does hurt to poop but stool softener are your best friend 😂 I get tired walking around the house so I’m taking it easy Every day I’m feeling better and better so I’ll walk more the better I feel Peace love and light to you Ladies ❤ Thank you for guiding light Luv

No man can endure what a lady goes through having baby's, and other surgeries. My mom went through what you want through later on, after she had twelve of us, and I always thank her for bringing me in this world. Only a real can go through these changes. You'll are awesome.

As a woman I’m so proud of every woman because we go through so much that nobody will ever understand. Having babies and all the other stuff. You are so strong sis.

We as women we go through so much. A man will never understand what we have to endure. One thing I can truly say we are definitely tough. We bounce back bigger and better 💪

Omg, I'm almost 2 weeks post op and the rectum pain is out of this world! I can't sleep from it either! This recovery is no joke. Plus the mood swings and the blues that came with it that I wasn't warned about ahead of time! I am so over this recovery but I have so far to go still.

I’m 36 and I’ve never had any children I think that’s what’s so emotional for me because I have to have a partial hysterectomy 😢. I feel myself going into a deep depression. When I watch your videos I come out of so THANK YOU!!❤

I’m 53 and having a hysterectomy in 5 weeks. I want and need this surgery because my quality of life has been a struggle with fibroid pain, heavy bleeding and the anemia caused by the bleeding. I am 53 and menopause is nowhere in sight. I have been told by other women that hysterectomy was one of the best decisions they made.

I just had a partial hysterectomy a week ago today. I had to stay 1 night in the hospital. I have a history of blood clots so I'm on blood thinners right now. My pain now is alright just still feel pressure when standing too long l, bending, and trying to walk up our stairs. My incisions are itchy and don't hurt anymore. I seem to feel full faster now for some reason..idk. I wish a full recovery for us all.❤

Who gets phantom uterine cramps? Those are wild!

We need you to be real, no such this as tmi for women who need to this surgery, we WANT to know what to expect, not lied to by dr's "you'll feel some discomfort" bullshit. So thank you!!

I had a hysterectomy on May 23, 2023 and the worst part of it all was the painful bloating! So much trapped gas! Apparently they fill you up with gas for the laparoscopic surgery. I stopped the narcotics by the 2nd day and only took Tylenol. I walked from the first day a little bit more each day. And did take the stool softeners and everything helped. After 3-4 days I was back to feeling normal but tried to stay in bed since the doctor said to take it easy for 2 wks. I should have done this 5 years ago when it was first recommended. No more pain!!! This surgery was so much easier than the 2 C-sections I had with my kids.

I just got home from having a full hysterectomy and they had no choice but to cut me. They reused my c-section scar to open me up. My first day I was in excruciating pain. Turns out I had adenomyosis. I’ve had all kinds of tests and nobody ever saw it. It’s something that you usually don’t find until either the removal of the uterus or during the woman’s autopsy. I was struggling all these years not knowing why. I’ve been a bit emotional about so many things, but for the most part I think I will feel relieved that this is finally done and I don’t have to worry about constantly being in the hospital.

I’m having my hysterectomy in less than 12 hours. Your video was so informative and helpful. Thank you🙏🏾

Im about to have a full at 38 (39sun) 4 kids 6mc endometriosis pcos and cervical cancer 20 yrs ago now but my body is doneee! Im just scared to deathhhh to have this surgery. Im a mom of 5 (adopted 1) I don’t have much help with my kids other than financial help. Im just so scared to be down and not be able to be MOM like they need AND DESERVE! thank u so so much for sharing ur story. Sending love & Light to ALL on here🙌🏽💕🙏🏽💐

I had mines done in Feb I only have 1 ovary left. I feel pain still sometime on the lower belly. It’s been 4months ago does anyone else experience this?

I'm 4 weeks post op. Had a hysterectomy and sling surgery. The worst pain is the gas from the laproscopic surgery. Take phazyme and colace so you don't strain. Walk. My pain never got above a 3. My other advice is , be honest with your gyno about leaking. I got a sling with this surgery because I would need one later down the line because I do notice some leaking. Might as well do them both at the same time. Belly wrap helps too.

8:03 "But, it's okay to get help, until you get better, until you get stronger." Thank you 'Simply Shell' for posting your hysterectomy videos and keeping everything at 100%. Questions that popped into my head, you had them all answered. Prayers.

Hello. I saw your video a few days before my surgery and it instilled fear of major pain. My NJ surgeon gave me Gabepentin to prevent nerve pain, Celebrex to prevent inflammation, & 925mg of Tylenol 1 hour before surgery. A 4th med was adminstered via IV. I used 6 medicated wipes to disinfect my skin. In recovery there was no pain, just tenderness near the single incision site. My surgeon has the latest robotic equipment with one tool instead of the outdated 4 tool machine. I ate soup & a banana & drank Vitamin water 5 hrs after surgery. Also took Ibuprofen & mild prescribed narcotic before going to sleep. Day 1 post surgery I have no pain, used the ice pack on the incison, and gingerale to expel the gas. I did pick up tums😂. I hope your subscribers learn from this the importance of researching doctors that use the latest technology and win awards. Always pray for guidance in selecting your medical team. I interviewed my surgeon. My surgeon chose gyn surgery because women are under served. His parents & spouse are physicians.

I'm very thankful that I came across this video, I am currently recovering from my own hysterectomy a week and two days now. I went in highly nervous however, my doctor and team really calmed my fears in totality. I don't remember the surgery w/ in itself, waking up I was like a bug in a rug and ready to go 🏡🏡🏡. I was not staying overnight at all😅😅😅, my man had our 🏡🏡🏡 all ready for me and I just wanted to be in my own comfort zone. I needed to urinate before being discharged and the first time that I felt like I needed to go it wasn't urine but, blood so I drank like four cups of water and ginger ale and I went🥳🥳🥳. Yesterday was my first day out since surgery and it felt nice, couldn't wait to get back 🏡🏡🏡. Gonna try and go on a trail today, we shall see how I do. Wish me luck and be blessed ladies🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽

I resonate with a lot of women in this chat. I’ve just turned 40 and have lost babies x I’m an emotional wreck knowing that I am about to embark on a full hysterectomy. No more trying for babies 😢 This is truly a decision of life and death rn. Lord give me strength.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m 3 weeks post surgery. Wish I had saw your video before surgery. No one told me the pain after surgery would be so horrible. 6 days after surgery I was in so much pain I just knew for sure I was going to die. I went to the ER and was diagnosed with a bladder hematoma…bladder trauma during surgery. It’s taking me a little longer to recover but each day urinating gets better. I appreciate your transparency with women like me going through or planning to go through this surgery. It’s also good to know I will get back to my self again soon. God bless

Thank you for this video. I am 4 weeks post op and dealing with constant urination, bouts of moodiness, more appetite, and still feeling tired and winded, sometimes dizzy when I get up from a seated position. I agree, get more than one opinion. My surgeon only focused on the physical symptoms, not mental or physiological. Whereas my family doctor was very mindful and supportive of all the changes my body was experiencing not just if I had pain or not. Great informative video. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! You eased my anxiety. I'm scheduled for my hysterectomy in 2wks and I've been a mental mess. Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I am now 6 months post hysterectomy due to a rare ovarian cancer. Thank God it was confined to the tumor but I had a total hysterectomy. All the side effects you talked about…I have. It’s just good to know I am not alone

I had a hysterectomy done 2/2, and I had the same removed as you. I still have both ovaries. Your videos prepped me so much before the surgery, and I felt like I knew what to expect. I had to get an abdominal one, but I will be rocking that scar! 💖 So proud of you for getting through this, it’s TOUGH!

I had a radical hysterectomy in January 2019. I’ve felt sadden at first but knew I had to go through with it. I had everything removed. I was diagnosed with endometriosis stage 4. So I’m in surgical menopause. Til this day I still have pain/pressure in my pelvic area if I walk too long or sit too. I haven’t gotten night sweats however if I get too hot I feel like I’m going to pass out and will need to get cool quickly. My life has definitely changed and still getting used to it. I also had the abdominal incision due to laparoscopic arms couldn’t get into my abdomen due to all the endometriosis. I also had my appendix and over a foot and half of bowels removed. And lastly I always have to pee more too, especially at night. Great video. Thanks for sharing. ❤

I literally just had my hysterectomy on 8/9/23 and it’s 8/12/23 annnnnnd I just want to cry… but I push my self to walk and drink lots of water…. I can’t even explain in words what I’m feeling but it’s a blessing to know someone else is sharing their story…. Thank you ❤️

I have adenomyosis and I get ovarian cysts. I’m waiting for the doctor to give me a surgery date for my laparoscopic hysterectomy but they’re leaving the ovaries. I’m 36 with 2 children, I’m blessed and ready to start healing 🙏🏻

We are not understood we go through so much too.

I had Total (Everything removed )hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. I had pain for 2 years because of my left ovaries. I would faint, throw up and lay in my bed because of it. It took over my life and my 3 kid’s. My situation is similar to yours especially the feeling dizzy after surgery. Thank you for sharing your story. Freedom for us Nomore periods..Periodt 😊

Im 5 days post op and your videos have been so helpful. I have to say I've been experiencing the same urinary urgency. I actually watched a video of the laparoscopic hysterectomy and there was a part where they seperate the bladder from the uterus. I wonder if the uterus supported the bladder to some extent? 🤔 ... the pregnancy pressure describes it perfectly and night wakings ugh. Its really nice to know your not alone and your experience is exactly how ive been feeling from before during and after. Thanks for sharing ❤

Taking in tips take in a lot of water and miralax...have someone help take a shower 🚿

Just had mine 4 days ago, I had a radical hysterectomy EVERYTHING out at 39. Medical issues for why I can’t have hormones. (Endometriosis in the spinal cord). Post op doing good, pain sucks but I had 3 spinal surgeries. I can tolerate a lot. I’m glad your journey was good and I hope mines gets better. 🙏 girl

Thank you for your professional video on your hysterectomy leaving out nothing too big or too small. You nailed it and your courage is amazing and uplifting. I had the same surgery you had exactly and experienced the same cons😅... Over all I feel great but a bit fatigue and getting my stomach down some is my concern... I know it takes time so ill be patient about my exercise and being out of work for another month, I will definitely get some rest... Prayer is number one for me and a positive attitude is next... everything will fall into place just be patient and believe... Change is ok in life and I pray for all of the women in the world who has to go through this and any other body changes because we have to have strength and courage to get through... GOD bless you and your family for the amazing job you do as a WOMAN OF STRENGTH!💞

I had a partial hysterectomy last month on the 22nd. Everyone keeps saying I will love it. We will see. As far as those bladder issues. I’m the same way. Always going and it feels uncomfortable. But I am looking forward to what’s to come from all of this. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Thank you for this! I had a total hysterectomy last week. Everything you have said is down to the T!! If anyone is getting one anytime soon or in the future follow it all!

I did my uterus hysterectomy in April and it was so pain and am still having little pain and cramps

I had a hysterectomy 5 days ago. I showered the next day by myself .I find it very easy. I cooked bfast on day 2 and cooked full dinner on day 4. The gas was the worst part. I also drove day 5

My lady is do for one so I’m here trying to learn about it to help her

I have that idea of getting a hysterectomy for days but it's not that easy in France and I randomly found your channel yesterday by searching botox for natural. I navigated throughout your uploaded videos and surprisingly found your hysterectomy related videos... I don't know if it's a sign but I wanted to let you know that. Thank you for you for sharing your experience 🙏🏽 I wish you a happy pain-free journey gal! ☀️

Thank you for being so honest and straightforward. I just had a hysterectomy 2days ago and your video helps with info and gives me hope cause I’m in so much pain rn and am feeling emotional….

Eight weeks now after my hysterectomy. Mine was total abdominal hysterectomy and my incision healed very well. The first day after the surgery was full of pain and I thought I was dying. The first two weeks were hell in the washroom. Now am dealing with hot flashes and night sweats. But am happy am well again

Did your stomach change

God bless 🙌 🙏 all ladies pain 🙏 hurts, every woman is wonderful 🙏 we go through almost alots, thankyou sisters for your videos it has help me

I had a hysterectomy exactly 1 week ago, and what helped me tremendously with the pain, was that my Anesthesiologist asked me if I wanted her injecting the inside of my belly with pain killers, special pain killers used for this kind of surgery. I am so glad I said Yes! Reading comments from so many women struggling with extra pain makes me realized how blessed I am for that Anesthesiologist lady. That has helped me to feel pretty much almost back to normal the very first days post-op, which has helped my mood for sure, I haven't felt depressed for the pain and discomfort, and it has reduced tremendously my need to take strong pain killers, which also has helped me going potty #2. So if you are going to have this surgery, talk to your Anesthesiologist about injecting your tummy with the pain numbing meds because recovery will be so much more nicer, bearable and you won't experience post-surgery depression which usually happens with slow and painful recovery. I was walking by myself on day 1.

Thank you again. I'm having surgery next month. I had wanted kids but sadly it's not to be. Your video has helped me massively. Thank you!

I'm feeling much better after five months my body is feeling relief and I thank God for bringing me through this moment God 🙏 is good amen

I still have twinges like close to one of my incisions, it hurts a little sometimes from the inside it feels like. But I WAS so happy to never have a period again. I'm 49 and knew I wouldn't have more kids anyways but that did kind of upset me a little. Yep, in the bed I kept waking up sweating and my clothes damp and it's been a little over a year. I didn't have anybody but my dad and I made him go home cuz he is 84 and hurts all the time. They said I couldn't do certain things and I had no one here to help me, my dad and 2 sons did help me pick up stuff I wasn't suppose to but it wasn't what I expected but I should have cuz I have no friends. So I got home and had no one to help me, I was in major pain, and it wasn't like when my mom had this done, she sounded and acted like she was gonna die. People brought good cooked food over for us and she stayed in the bed and people helped her if she needed anything but it didn't go that way for me. I had to do everything myself. Just like always.

Omg I know this video is old but this was the BEST video yet! Thank you so much!!❤

Thank you so much for this. I'm on day 7 and I can identify with everything you just said. I'm now dealing with getting my bowels to function as normal as I passed my stools for the first time on day 5. I started on Miralax yesterday and today I went much easier with less pain. But the pain is real though with God it get easier. I wondered about my vagina being functional 😅. So that's good news.

I have to have this surgery soon and I really appreciate you sharing your experience ❤

Thank you for all the Information. I read in the internet and people keep saying that our Body Shape changes. 'the spine compresses causing the rib cage to gradually fall toward the hip bones and the hip bones to widen. This causes a shortened, thickened midsection, protruding belly, and loss of the curve in the lower back, giving the appearance of a flat derriere'' - Is this True ? Can you please share your experience on this ? Thank you very much :-)

I will have my hysterectomy December 01 I’m not ready I’m very scared I been crying everyday

I'm finally ready to have my hysterectomy 😢 no kids but my body is so weak

I'm waiting for my surgeon office to call with my surgery date.... I'm in so much pain I can not wait for it to be taken out. Now I'm a bit nervous cause it's my uterus. .... how yall feel now yall feel less of a woman ???

I went through the exact thing pain, bleeding and all, I was also very anemic ! Loss soo much blood and had many blood transfusions I had my hysterectomy 8 days ago ! I’m almost 40 and I have 6 kids so I was happy to let it go lmao but I’m 8 days post op I’m waiting to feel better 😌☺️

Is it better to have it done laproscopicly?

I had the full hysterotomy in 2020, it's been 4 years. The pain wasn't that bad though, during the procedure the gynae saw that fibroids were on the left ovary, and they had to remove it too. For two weeks I was peeing on myself as they have hurt the vein connected to the bladder. They had to put a "stand" so that I can recover without hinders. I went back to the theatre to remove the "stand" after 4 weeks, but they removed it through the "v". They didn't cut open. My sex drive has diminished, menopause took its toll. My weight is playing tricks on me, and I have made peace with everything.

Hi Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us❤️ GOD BLESS YOU!

I love you so much just had a full hysterectomy I've been crying on and off but I am making it through I'm on day 4 but I can't wait to feel better.

Needed this! I have a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy Thursday!

Hi, I’m on day 5 post surgery, same laparoscopic hysterectomy as you, your videos are so helpful , I have experienced all the same steps to recovery as you and it’s really nice to hear someone going through the same… so glad to hear you are feeling better and I will keep following you in the future. Just to others watching, I had 2 c-sections, one emergency one, and a hall bladder removal surgery, this hysterectomy is by far the hardest recovery I have gone through… take your time and don’t push yourself to recover faster the. Your body wants! Lots of love to you for taking the time to share your experience!❤

Do you feel that your waist size has changed? Or hips widen due to things shifting down?

Ive been dealing with this for 2 to 3 yrs. Many drs keep telling me do the hysterectomy. Many drs at different time. When God wants you to take care of yourself . He make it.

Hello I may be a little late but my sister was thinking about getting an endometrial ablation but I just showed her your video would you recommend a hysterectomy instead ? 😅

I just had the surgery. Still in recovery in the hospital. Just trying to focus on recovery now. I hope i dont get into an emotional roller coaster going forward.

There are many women here who had hysterectomies. Can anyone please share how it affected you sexually? Does it hurt? Is your orgasm different? Did your vagina shorten?

❣ sending you blessings for you and your family. thank you for sharing. loved the testimony!

I am scheduled for a total hysterectomy in March ‘23 and Viewing your video has helped me visually see The Recovery experience as opposed to other videos that I’ve viewed (and I’m totally aware that each woman’s recovery is individually unique) but now I’m able to really get a good sense of what’s to come and I don’t believe I’ll be viewing anymore videos featuring “Hysterectomies” so Thank You. I’m glad you’re feeling wonderful and good luck with your relocation. I was born and raised in New York City and I moved to Greensboro NC and I really really loved living there and I’m actually looking forward to relocating back to Greensboro within the next 2 yrs so we have those things in common but again Thank You once again for sharing your video and I too am going to do a video a week before my surgery. I just have to research EVERYTHING bcuz this will be my 1st RU-vid video. I’ve done “Reels” on my FB and IG but by far there is no comparison when you’re creating a RU-vid channel and more work is definitely involved and I believe I’ll be okay… May GOD Continue to Bless You & Your Beautiful Family💕

I’m glad I came across your video ❤I’m 4 days post op. I’ve had minimal pain. The first day of surgery I was doing bad. I was so nauseous because of the pain medicine they had in my pain pump. Once they removed that and that Foley I was able to rest. I’m like you I don’t like narcotics either and pretty much stay away from them. It’s definitely the narcotics and not being as mobile that cause the constipation. I feel so much better since I’ve had a bowel movement and now I’m just taking it easy. Thanks for the video and happy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Thankyou for sharing your Experience. I have been Contemplating making this choice but i think its for the Best. I literally cant live with these fibroids and heavy periods. It has Ruined my life and Does not allow me to Live and it makes me so Weak and im getting in Depression because of it 😢

My doctor lied to me and ended up removing a healthy uterus. More than two years later, I'm still suffering from it and the residuals of not having my s3xual organs. I have to have bladder procedures every 6 months. It was the absolute worst belief that I've ever let a doctor tell me and I trusted him. After he'd been my doctor for over 30 years, I never thought that he would harm me and change my medical records to try to cover his wrongdoing.

I am scheduled for a complete and total hysterectomy with oopherectomy in 3 weeks and I am so nervous after watching a lot of videos. They are so informative and helpful, but I am nervous about what to expect after. I hear horror stories about vaginal pain/dryness/difficulty urinating/menopause immediately after surgery. My Dr doesn't want to start me on any hormones until after my 6 weeks post op, does anyone have any advice or recommendations for supplements/HRT or just Estrogen replacement? I'd rather go natural and organic, but I will love and appreciate any and all information! Love to all you ladies

Regarding the urgent urination, and because you mentioned IBS/GI issues in another video, you should see a urologist for Interstitial Cystitis

I’m glad I found this video. I’ve been putting surgery off for a while now and finally decided to go ahead and have it done as well. Thanks for this video because these are the things the doctors don’t tell you. Prayers to everyone going through the same thing.

I have literally been urinating in the middle of the night for years and also night sweats lol.

Did anyone have constipation issues around weeks 7-10 post op?

Girl before my periods were awful due to endometriosis. After my 3 pregnancies /my last pregnancy my periods came back with a vengance. I am happy to hear you are pain free. I have my hysterectomy coming up next month. I am going through all the mixed emotions but ready to be free of pain.

I am 32yrs old an have a total hysterectomy. In 2015 I had my triplets but I also had my right ovary removed because it was twisted. 2021 I had to get a partial hysterectomy due to Endometriosis. Feb 12, 2024 I had to get my left and only ovary removed because it was twisting as well. They wanted to save it but I said no just take it.. I tried the hormonal patch but it gave me a real severe headache so I was told to remove it. I've had emotional moments but I'm ok

Thank you for this video. I had 3 girls naturally as well as they left my ovaries and the pain / recovery you explained was right on point. Thank you for throwing all the TMI details. Super important!!

Thank you so much for sharing! I went to the same procedure you did, I also had three children, and still went through the depression. It is a major surgery and it definitely takes time for your body and mind to adjust. It is a big deal! I can relate to everything you said as I experienced this myself.On the upside, I think you appreciate the benefits of no more pain and heavy bleeding, and I try to look for all the positive changes and embrace life again.I hear you, and bless you for sharing this.👩🏼👋🏼👍🏼✌🏼💐🌹🇨🇦

I’ve had 3 c sections .. can anyone tell me how the recovery of a robotic hysterectomy compares to the c section recovery ?

I've been dealing with excruciating pain and heavy excessive bleeding since 9 y/o. Every doctor I vame into contact with only recommended birth control and tylenol/ibuprofen. I'm now 34 and have been diagnosed with adenomyosis, endometriosis, PID, and enlarged uterus. Im scheduled for a robotic hysterectomy in July / 2024.

Got my partial hysterectomy a week ago. The first day pain was horrible. Worse than my c sections but overall recovery has been great. I dont regret it so far.

Definitely wanna Keep Your Ovaries...! Had mine in 2006 -suffered for 2 yrs; best thing I ever did!

I just found out that using a tiny dose of the abortion pill Mifepristone could treat adenomyosis without the need for surgery. A small study in China found that after about four weeks of use, 92% of participants had effective pain relief, and 89% had no pain. I wish I knew it before I had it all removed 😢

After how long you can get pregnant after this surgery

I felt the same way thank God I had 3 babies already It was so painful With pain medication It felt better But after like 4 days this horrific pain would come and go at any time at night it would last like 1 min or 2 it was bad it would make me cry thank God it went away after like 3 months The pain it was in my rectum they told me cause it was all the gas I had in my tummy

Hi I watch your video when you give me some hope so because I have some fibroids and I'm supposed to do a surgery and I need some prayers .

Thxs for the info..having my surgery later this morning 9/27/23

Thanks for sharing this.. I’m leaning in this direction. My doc recommended embolization because of my life style but I have 20 fibroids. I’m like mam?????? That’s a lot. I’m not having more kids. Mine are grown..

As a woman yes proud of us sis we do that especially having a baby and even hysterectomy

You would think men would value and Appreciate us more and there would be less domestic violence issues.
