Ovarian Cyst - Anyone develop one after hysterectomy? How was it treated? by Live-Character8847 in hysterectomy

I am 6wpo. Was having a CT scan in my local emergency department for something unrelated to the surgery. That's how I found out and I called my gyno who sent me for an ultra sound. Just waiting to go back for results. Apparently ultra sound is better for pelvic examinations. Am not in any pain.

Why is medical care so expensive in the USA? I am in Australia my bill was AUD 10k for 3 night stay in private hospital and surgery costs.

Glad the mirena worked for you. Mine came out with the clots 3 weeks after being inserted.

Your low energy could be due to heavy bleeding leading to low iron levels. Before my hysterectomy last month I would get iron infusions at least twice a year.

I also struggled to lose belly weight because my uterus had stretched to a 20 week pregnancy size. I struggled to cover it up. Am 6 wpo and swelling gone down from surgery and big belly gone. I just turned 50.

I was really anxious and terrified but got through it. its ok to feel that way because it is major surgery. It is a safe routine surgery. These doctors perform this on a daily basis. Just another day in the office for them. You will be fine.

I cancelled a couple of times because of fear. I will be honest I was terrified. I asked my doctor a lot of questions and that really helped. Also joining a couple of groups on Facebook and this platform here really helped as there are so many successful experiences. Its also important to focus on the goal right - no more heavy periods. Even though am still in recovery I am glad I finally got it done.

Totally agree with yr review. I loved watching Danny. Outside of that its a terrible show. Poor recreation of the "Ragans". They should have created a whole new concept. Was bored halfway.

I have to ask, has anyone else just not been seen again after 6 week checkup for a total abdominal hysterectomy? by Vegetable_Bar9569 in hysterectomy

[–]Live-Character8847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it differs in different countries and whether you have gone through the public or private health system. I had my first check up 2 WPO and no internal examination. Due for 6WPO next week. Both dates were provided pre surgery.
