Post-Hysterectomy Experiences

[Guest guest]

Shayna,

I had a hysterectomy in 1998. It was a relief for me. I had been

having so much bleeding and pain. I haven't had much abdominal pain

since. They took out my uterus, but left in my ovaries. It does take

a while to recover. However, funny as it may seem, I recovered faster

from that major surgery than I do from some of my pacer surgeries. The

only real complication that happened. . .don't worry it is so weird

that it could never happen to anyone else. I still shake my head in

amazement when I think of it LOL. I had some pain after surgery. The

dr said I had scar tissue. So we did a procedure to remove it. They

did a biopsey as a matter of course. When I went for my follow up, my

dr came in with the strangest look on his face. He handed me the

pathology report and let me read it for myself. It wasn't scar

tissue. It was my fallopian tubes! LOL They had grown out through my

stitches. That day I finally convinced him that my picture really

SHOULD be posted under 's Law. I swear I am NOT making this

up. My imagination is just not that good!

Joanne,

Have you ever had any signs of PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome --

previously known as Cowden Syndrome? The kind of odd growth you

describe can happen with that. Don't want to alarm you though,

because this dosorder is very rare. Might be worth checking into

just in case.
