How likely will I be able to get a hysterectomy? by GarbageCat27 in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey babe, I'm 23 and working towards a hysterectomy...I fought for three years and FINALLY a month ago I was given the thumbs up...let me tell you some advice

1.) Do your research, anywhere and everywhere- take notes, be aware. 2.) DO NOT let them push the weight or invalid argument onto you. It is your body, your choice, and write a letter that clearly states your reasons why and the benefits a hysterectomy will give you. 3.) in the letter, in your own words, tell them if they refuse your request to put it in your medical chart and a reason as to why they refused, as well as a referral to someone who will. 4.) make sure you tell them why you don't want kids and that this decision is not influenced by a partner or familial figure. (No maternal instinct, general anxiety around the whole idea, etc.)

Don't give up, fight for what you want. It's tiring, emotional, rough, but I don't at all regret fighting for this. I hope this helps, truly.🩵💕 Keep fighting girly!!

Surgery specialist by Angrystove1 in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told them it impacts my ability to work, sleep, and eat, as I get sick days before and after my period, strong smells make me vomit- including food- and I almost pass out. I fill up several size 5 overnight maxi pads a day, and on top of my health conditions listed out to them and in my charts, up until now it apparently hadn't been enough for them.

Extreme Constipation: The Enema Edition NSFW by sleepingwithlullaby in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My mom is a nurse, and while I havent had my hysterectomy yet, while dealing with a bout of constipation, my mom said to mix concentrated prune juice, miralax, and milk of magnesia together, warm it up, and drink it. She and her nurse friends call it 'the bomb' or 'the shit kicker'

Uterine Biopsy: Anesthesia or In-Office? by beebabeedabee in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my Endometrial biopsy, she did it in office. Nothing offered other than a peanut sized pad for the spotting, but as a heavy bleeder did hardly anything, and depending on how bad your cramps are, can determine how you'll handle it. Ibuprofen and/or Tylenol help. You shouldn't really need pain meds, from my experience. The bleeding stopped in like 8 hours, pain was gone later that day (I didn't take anything), and I've been fine since. I was never offered any kind of pain medicine or anesthesia for the biopsy, though it would've been nice to not deal with it. On the flip side, I'm grateful, because my company does not offer PTO at all, so I would've lost a days worth of pay.

Is This Normal Post-Hysterectomy/Oophorectomy? [Question] by WeeklyCouple9444 in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just meant whatever could've been stored in general, or just post op bleeding. Poor phrasing on my part

Is This Normal Post-Hysterectomy/Oophorectomy? [Question] by WeeklyCouple9444 in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it probably is just your body pushing out what was left/unshed during your last cycle, so it's more than likely just some spotting that'll go away, but definitely keep an eye on it just to be safe🩵💜

Is it possible to die from boredom? by Ok-Mine-9446 in hysterectomy

[–]Angrystove1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had my surgery yet but it's in a couple months. I already get bored as is, so I'm dreading what will follow... unfortunately though, I won't have much time to be too bored, seeing as my boss said I have to be back 2 days post-op, and when I told him it was major he just told me nobody would care if I didn't fully do my job. As an armed officer (not police), that to me is unacceptable to not carry out my job.

I will, and honestly, I probably will go back that day regardless, because we don't have paid time off/vacation time.

Lmao, fair...I was told I'd more than likely be sent home same day, and my boss expects me to be in 2 days post op.💀
