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??

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)
