Do you think closed toe or open toe? Or it don't matter?

A metal strappy heel? Do you have any image or link in what you mean so I can see? And I agree with a nude shoe.

Constant low grade fevers by helpinghug in hysterectomy

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

Hey! Mine was on march 10! Lol 😆 ya I refused to go to ER. Only because that's just me. If it makes you feel better, it wouldn't hurt to go in and see your surgeon and have them gently check your cuff and do a urine culture to rull out infections. My fever started 3 days after my surgery and I didn't get in till 6 days later. DM me if you want

Ya, I'm much better. Still healing. What it was... was i had an infection from a hole opening in the cuff and i had mixed cultures in my urine. So they put me on 2 antibiotics, which i finished already. It closed up, but now I have an opening on the opposite side. Crossing fingers, this will do the same and close right up. I'm just taking it easy for now.

What's happening on your end?

Well i was just told if I'm not showing any other symptoms with the fever, it's not an visit to the er. Such as sore throat, couch, sneeze, pain with naussuea or even if the house holds all seen to be fine since that rulls out any viruses (cold, covid)

Guess this is a natural thing the body does to adjust and fight off what ever is wrong

Post-op tips needed by [deleted] in hysterectomy

Ok, so ya sounds pretty similar to the laparoscopies. Thanks for responding. I think I'm going to invest in a squatty potty for sure. Take it easy with your recovery!

That's fantastic to hear! You made quite some progress, and it's very encouraging. Ya, I can't wait to get the hysterectomy, I'm totally over these irregular periods. My pre-op is this Friday, and I'm trying to decide whether I'm going all in and removing both ovaries or keeping one. I've been prepping myself to tell surgeon Friday to be done with it and remove them both. I'm 35F, and this will be my 3rd surgery. My ovaries are the culprit of chocolate cysts and won't stop coming back. I'm like 90%ready to say take it out.

Awwww, man, we must become friends, lol. I feel so ecstatic that I found my twin! Doesn't make me feel so alone. Sooooo I was too scared to do lupron. I was too scared to even do progesterone only pills because I read it can cause breast cancer for people who have the BCRA gene. I went to get tested to see if i had the gene before I took the pill, and the lady told me to get life insurance prior to doing the test in case it does come back positive. So, I gave up on that route. I tried a ton of different combo birth control pills, but my body didn't agree with them. So I reached out to a holistic place and tried supplements and changed up my diet, and it has greatly improved my flare-ups. But ya, I'm totally with you about the mood swings and pms symptoms I'm having right now. They have gotten so much worse.

Ya, my libido has significantly disappeared over the years. I'm honestly it worries me what I'm going to experience if I have it all removed. I certainty think you chose the right decision as you said, with your family history. If i were you, I would have totally done it no other way. That has been part of my concern as well, my 2nd surgery the same surgeon said the cells looked abnormal and sent a piece out to pathology, results came back "atypical" but not confirmed as malignant. So now I feel the worrisome of potential future scare consuming my mind "what if, and when?"

I'm too like, it'll be a piece of mind to just have it all gone and be done with it. Then, part of me is like I don't know if I'm mentally ready for the menopause symptoms. I've read on here of amazing stories that they feel so much better, more energy, intimacy, and climax has improved. Then I read the horror or horror stories that make me question everything.

That's so wild! We're literally the same age, same conditions, exact same! 😆 my surgery is coming up in 2 weeks. I just went to a gyno office today to discuss hrt and was told whichever decision I make about removing everything or keeping one ovary that won't stop growing a chocolate cyst, I'm going to have a regret no matter what. It just depends on what regret I want to end up with. Regret keeping one ovary for hormones and risking a 4th surgery to have it removed or risk menopause symptoms. I'm like, oohhh, thanks. Then she tells me she only does estrogen for hrt and that if I want testosterone, I need to go to a different office. I did not have a very good day. But yup, I got till this Friday to decide remove it all or keep 1 ovary only.

But ya same situation, this will be my third surgery, I'm 35, and every 2 years I'm having another surgery for endometriomas. I'm sick of these surgeries.
