The surgery is pretty simple and basically minimal discomfort post op. They did the op through key whole surgery assisted by vaginal extraction. They left my overlies so I don't require HRT. This time the cyst was too large so a hysterectomy was the only choice. I had fibroids ans cysts removed a number of times. But my health has been declining for quite some time. I wish that I was healthier ,I would of had more kids too. I understand the frustration of not being able to have more children. Dear Joanne, I am 38, and had my hysterectomy in September last year. I can honestly say the improvement in my general health afterwards was a surprise to me and I had so much more energy. You will be fine, pain relief is given afterwards and you will be surprised at how quickly you recover, you will be home before you know it. When you get there you will find there are other women going through the same operation and you will be able to chat if y ou want and that makes it less scary. The anaesthetist and surgeon will know all about your bleeding problems and will give you excellent care. I cleaned the house top to bottom before I went in and stocked up the freezer and fridge. It was frustrating not being able to do the things I wanted but I found that it just takes longer to get back to normal if you dont rest as you should. I can only say that within 6 weeks of the op I felt better than I had for years. I am much older than you but I had a full hysterectomy when I was about 40 yrs of age. Its natural for you to feel the way you do. Hello Joanne, I'm sorry you have had such a truly awful time and are having to go through this at such a young age. Has anyone else suffered these feelings and how long did it really take you to recover from your op? I know I will be out of action for a while and I love taking care of my family, cooking, cleaning and making sure everything is just so. I worry about my husband and my boys as im so used to doing everything for them and dont take too well to being cared for. I bleed terribly after surgery and need transfusions and so this worries me alot. Im sick of people telling me I should be grateful for the 3 I have, of course im grateful I love them more than anything in the world but if I had the choice I would have had more, I cant bear the thought of never having a new born baby again and feel so annoyed that its through no choice of my own this operation needs doing I know that. Im angry because I would have loved more children. I cant sleep properly and very tearful and angry my tummy is churning and I feel just so anxious about the whole thing. All my boys were born emergency c section so I have a very small insight into what the op entails.im terrified. I have been on the waiting list for 2 years for hysterectomy and now its here I feel rotten about the whole thing. I had terrible periods often required blood transfusions and medication to stop the bleeding. I ruptured mu uterus having my last child and suffer constant infections since. I have had 8 operations in the last 2 years due to cysts, abcess' blocked tubes the list is endless. I have 3 boys aged 6, 4 and 2 all born premature the youngest at 28 weeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hi all, I just turned 30 last week and am having a full hysterectomy on 14 May.
