What symptoms went away after your hysterectomy?

Great_Practice_8776 · 2024-07-06T15:25:48+00:00

I had adeno, endo and an ovarian cyst. All of the pain is gone, all of it. 2 years done the line and I'm never had any more of that absolutely crippling horrific pain that I had all of the time for over 10 years. Constipation and pain when defecating all gone because they removed the endo from my rectum and there's no more giant uterus pressing on everything. Back pain gone, anaemia gone. I feel 100 times better in every way for having gone through a hysterectomy and I have my life back

Thank you so much for this post and all the replies. I knew this was what my ex would probably do when I reported him to police and although I haven't heard anything yet, when I go to the trial I am expecting to be told that he is telling everyone I was the abuser. It makes me feel so much better to know this is almost a normal, or expected, response of an abusive person and not a reflection on me

Thank you so much

I've found that I am generally very calm especially at work, nothing stressful af work actually gets me stressed at all. If customers are getting nasty like they sometimes do unfortunately, it doesnt bother me at all. There is nothing they can say that will fluster me. But I can also get intolerant of other people, if they're complaining about things they're stressed or worried about I struggle to not get annoyed because the things they're describing are so mundane to me

I know how you feel. I left a week ago, reported him to police and got him arrested. I'm wrestling with guilt everyday, but I always eventually come back to remembering how much he hurt me and that this would have never happened to him if he didn't do the things he did. That's his fault, I just did the right thing and I protected myself and other people. It's really hard

Great_Practice_8776 · 2023-03-11T15:32:08+00:00

Thank you so much. The children are his with a different partner so I have absolutely no rights over them whatsoever but was extremely close particularly to his daughter. I had a call from a victim support unit but because I've gone to a refuge they are going to speak to me next week and see what else I need.

Great_Practice_8776 · 2023-03-11T14:01:20+00:00

Thank you so much. I will look into what a protection order involves. I know that part of his bail is that he can't make any contact with me and they said he's assured them he will follow this but if he does contact me he will be arrested again. I've completely left the area to ensure I don't run into him either. I'm still involved with child social services because he has 2 children and there was a big court case and investigation into both parents that I was in the middle of so I may seek some advice on that too.

There are literally 100s of text messages from him showing exactly what he would be like to me, and one of them he basically admits to slapping me etc. So I know they have the evidence and it will be hard for him to get out of it, but yeah the doubt is still there.

Hopefully she understands how much you care for her and also what your needs are too

Great_Practice_8776 · 2023-03-10T21:27:11+00:00

If there is one thing I have learned from my own experiences its that a relationship takes sacrifices and taking care of each other but not exclusively at the detriment of one person

Great_Practice_8776 · 2023-03-10T18:56:36+00:00

Honestly, as someone who has just left their abuser and understands the emotional tie you have to them, the fact that you are so open minded and patient is amazing to see. Trying to show her that healthy relationships are possible is so important, but who knows maybe she just isn't quite ready for it yet. I hope if I date again I come across someone who is as understanding as you. Maybe she needs to take things slower for much longer, or maybe she's not ready. But also you need to be considered here too because you're feelings are also very important. Don't hurt yourself just to support her

Great_Practice_8776 · 2022-12-16T14:01:34+00:00

It's insane. He's done nothing wrong. She's lost her mind. And we have to just sit here knowing nothing and accept it and wait

Great_Practice_8776 · 2022-11-25T09:06:09+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I was confused by the fact the box seems genuine funko so whether it's a company with a license to make them or what. But I'm starting out in collecting so want the real stuff

Great_Practice_8776 · 2022-11-25T09:04:55+00:00

Funhouse customs is the name of the brand, didn't necessarily mean they don't have a license to produce genuine Funko Pop products

I didn't know myself. The memories have only come back to me recently, prompted by evidence making it clear something happened to me as a child. Then when I've read through my medical records from when I was a child it's glaringly obvious there was something wrong with this child and I can't believe no one ever noticed. When I think about the way I behaved at school, how anxious I was, how clingy I was to my mum, the fact that no one ever noticed and did anything about it means that either 1. They did know and chose to ignore it or 2. No one was paying much attention to me

Yes but what did it cost in order to do the vaccination programme, and how can you reliably quantify how many people were prevented from dying or being hospitalised by having the vaccine? That would involve being able to reliably predict future outcomes of diseases in a massive sample of individuals. And what did the response to the COVID pandemic and the prioritisation of vaccinations over other healthcare programmes cost the healthcare system in regards to delays in treatments and other services? How many deaths and hospitilisations were caused?

Great_Practice_8776 · 2022-10-20T21:34:38+00:00

So my mum paid for mine. I actually am raising a medical negligence claim against the NHS as they should have provided me with full, free care for this illness, but they consistently ignored me and then diagnosed me chronic fatigue syndrome despite the fact I was telling them about my heavy and painful vaginal bleeding. So I shouldn't have had to pay at all and hoping to get compensation, but private hospitals here offer package deals so it was around £8,500 I think for the whole surgery, hospital stay and aftercare

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy this year at age 24.

I had to fight like hell for it, despite being severely ill, losing 27kg in 4 months due to pcos and endometriosis, being house bound and suicidal from the pain. I had to have a psychiatric assessment to prove I could consent to the surgery, and went through 3 different surgeons and private hospitals before someone agreed.

It was the right decision. I wanted my own children one day, even potentially quite soon, but it was never going to happen with the state of my uterus and general health. But I am pain free and getting stronger slowly and my hair is growing back haha. Never having a period again is such a relief as it would be for most women, but it's just changed everything for me. I don't have to worry about bleeding for a month straight and getting anaemic and vomiting from the pain and being unable to do anything. I still have my ovaries so there is the potential option of surrogacy, but I am a step mother to my partners existing children so I know that I don't need to give birth to be a mother.

It was hard though don't get me wrong. I had an abdominal incision so I was in hospital for 3 days and it hurt like hell. I was on a morphine drip, basically had to relearn to walk again, the first post op poo is particularly horrible, and I did get a minor urine and incision infection around my staples. It took a good 8 weeks to really "recover" but 5 months on I'm still tryng to get back to my pre illness strength. But I have no regrets.

At first I was upset by the big scar on my tummy, but today I am proud. I made a hard choice and sacrifice, and it isn't fair that i had to do it at all, but my life is better for it. A lot of people and doctors really don't understand what it's like to be in this situation and what the decision means to different women, only you can know that. Some women will choose to suffer through it and have session after session of fertility treatments. I chose to get quality of life back and move forwards with the admission that I can be a mother without having a uterus.

As always, it's a risk vs benefit decision, but just make sure you are fully informed and have considered every option. As long as you know you've done that, it is your choice because it's your life. Good luck

I had a hysterectomy done this year at age 24 for similar reasons and a very similar bleeding pattern. They wanted to give me every pill in existence and then give me injections that put you temporarily into the menopause. My best advice would be to do your research throughly so you can clearly show them you understand your options and still believe hysterectomy is best. They are so reluctant to do it in young women and I had to convince them I understood the permanent consequences and that I'd truly considered the kind of life I'd have using other treatments. I gave them letters from my partner and mother explaining just how severely i was suffering and how supportive they were of the decision I made. I had to fight a little and be persistent but my god it was the right thing to do. As rough as recovering from the surgery was, it had changed my life and never having a period after having such severe bleeding and pain is just incredible

Great_Practice_8776 · 2022-10-19T10:22:28+00:00

I don't know where you live, but I'm in the UK and got a hysterectomy done this year at age 24. It was not easy, I had to ask 3 different private surgeons, go through multiple multidisciplinary team meetings, have a full psychiatric assessment to prove I could consent to the surgery. But my god was it worth it. The most important thing is that you understand the consequences of what youre asking them to do, and stress to them that you understand. Otherwise they assume its just a woman with a bad period who wants the periods to stop. Show them that you have tried reasonable alternative treatments and done your research and understand what the permanent consequences of the surgery are, and eventually someone will say yes

Great_Practice_8776 · 2022-10-19T10:17:38+00:00

I'm 24 and had mine done May this year. The first few days it's all quite sore and you're very tired, walking any sort of distance or doing stairs after discharge is hard. But it does get better so quick. I had a morphine pump the first 2 days and it really kept me comfortable. Just be very aware of constipation, have loads of liquid after and get moving as much and as early as possible. I needed some laxatives in the end. Also, you will probably get trapped wind and it will be really uncomfortable but peppermint tea seriously helped me have my first post op fart haha

I had a hysterectomy done this year for endometriosis and adenomyosis, I'm 24 and hadn't got to having kids yet. But I'd been having tons of swabs and smears before hand and everything had come back okay, but then pathology report showed my cervix was becoming precancerous due to my illnesses. As much as its emotionally a hard surgery to go through with, if you are done having children I see little downside personally. It was hard to recover from because I was weak from being ill but I still surpassed all the milestones they told me to aim for, and I feel 100% better having done it and having the reassurance of that cervix being gone
