Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Ok, this one is for the medical types we have on list....a girlie thing. Finally snagged Doc for my 5 year checkup. All is well, yadda, yadda, yadda. My pouch is blah, blah, blah....Nothing has changed since last year.... We chatted a little about my appendectomy that wasn't. He says he say several adhesions (didn't mess with them though) and that he checked out my uterus and ovaries. I told him about my upcoming hysterectomy. He said to tell my GYN that something is anterior to something. Huh? says I... He say, your bladder and uterus are attached. So I says...but the gyn says my uterus should be all shriveled up cause of the depo lupron shot (or whatever it is) that I've had for the past 6 months. You know...the one that caused me to have no periods....that shot! She told me that this hysterectomy will be easy because my ovaries and uterus will be small because of no periods. He says...nope! My uterus is normal, one ovary shriveled, one not. Hmmmm..... He said it could be a difficult surgery. She's doing...LASH? I think it's called. Go thru the belly button, unhook the ovaries, then whooooosh...out drops all the workins vaginally. Duh, silly me...I never even thought about incisions (gulp) in the vagina!! OWWIE!! So I guess my question is...does anyone know about this bladder/uterus thing? I'm doing bunches of protein...trying to build up...but now I'm somewhat concerned about blood loss. Especially after the problems I ran into after my arms and legs. Is a hysterectomy a vascular surgery?? To worry...or not to worry??

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hi Sue, I had my hystie 14 years ago, and at that time they didn't do it lap (which is what I think you were trying to say). Anyway the reason for my hystie was very severe endometriosis. In the lap procedure they did a few months before the hystie, the doc told me at that time that they could not even visualize my ovaries or tubes due to so much endometriosis. And here is what you wanted to know, my uterus was cemented to my bladder. That explained why I had bladder spasms every time I urinated! and the spasms continued after surgery for a couple months til I was completely healed. Anyway, there were no problems with surgery. Again tho it was done open. But even if they do yours lap, there shouldn't be any " incisions " vaginally, they just kinda pull it out that way, (don't they??? LOL) Phyllis Question....for the girls Ok, this one is for the medical types we have on list....a girlie thing. Finally snagged Doc for my 5 year checkup. All is well, yadda, yadda, yadda.
