Re: Question to angie, re: hysterectomy and depression

[Guest guest]

Angie,

I'll be asking you a question off the topic of

pancreatitis, but I saw you mentioned you've had a

hysterectomy.

I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for you or what

led you to have this surgery.

I'm in a predicament for some time now about

considering to have one. I've been trying to hold on

from having it. I'm worried about the effects of not

having our hormones.

you mentioned you got depressed after that.

was that due to the hormonal changes due to lack of

hormones? or caused by the fact of knowing there was

no more uterus ?

sometimes we are forced to have the surgery whether we

want it or not depending on the circumstance.

drs yrs ago used to perform the surgery frequently,

but now the dr.s only do it if absolutely necessary.

I know my health would be better if I were to have it,

but I " m still leary.

I have certain questions that I would feel awkward

to ask the dr about.

would this be something I can speak to you about? or

is it better left unsaid?

sincerely,

S.

,

No problem at all! I am an open book ask away! I had to have my hysterectomy

due to prolapsed uterus and bladder. It was literally falling out of my body.

I had a 4th degree prolapse. It was almost out of my body! Not a pretty

sight. If you need to ask more personal questions feel free to email me

privately!

Take care,
