Considerations when Facing a Hysterectomy Before Menopause - Preventing Early Ovarian Failure
**I made a mistake when quoting facts about heart disease in women. It is the #1 killer of women, 1 in 2 women will have it, but only 1 in 5 will die of it. I inaccurately said that 1 in 2 women will die from it.
In this video, I describe some considerations that women should make when determining if a hysterectomy, especially prior to menopause, is right for them. I explain that I had a hysterectomy at the age of 37 as part of a pelvic organ prolapse repair. My ovaries were left intact, so I was told that it would not affect my hormones. Within 18 months of my hysterectomy, however, I was in ovarian failure, and facing the need for full hormone replacement. Women should consider whether ...

      @personalprolapsestory 18 дней назад

      First, I’m so sorry you’re facing this.. especially at 23. 😮 First, don’t even let them think about suggesting a hysterectomy. Second, I’d steer clear of mesh slings. This is what MANY doctors want to do, but they’re a bandaid fix, your bladder will fall again, and THOSE can cause issues with sex. I’m hoping you live close enough to a metro area that you can find a urogynecologist or vaginal surgeon to do native tissue repairs, where they instead repair the structure of your vaginal wall. Check out my “how to choose a surgeon” video for more info, and feel free to email with specific questions. Personalprolapsestory@gmail.com

      YES!! That’s what I had done (among other things), and is by far the best way to treat this. Assuming your surgeon does a good job, this should be exactly what you need for long term repair.. although I cannot speak to what will happen once you start having babies, especially vaginally. I would definitely ask your doctor that, if that is in the cards for you. Sounds like you have found a good surgeon who does things the right way!

      Mine is actually TVT (trans vaginal tape). Much smaller. Much thinner. Designed to kind of “meld” with your own tissue over time. This is the preferred/safest method of treating urinary incontinence… but, it does require a suprapubic catheter during recovery in most cases. So, the recovery is a bit more difficulty, but the long term safety and results are preferable.

    Hello, Friend. I’m your new fan at 61 just now addressing a cystocele, rectocele, and bladder incontinence surgically after everything else failed. My last baby just turned 22. I’m a physical fitness buff with a solid core (my urogynecologist noticed my improvements first) and discovered the hard way that certain exercises cause way too much leakage. I had my procedure at 7:30 am yesterday, June 4. I was discharged at noon from the actual hospital, complete with a private room, unlike every other same-day procedure I’ve ever had. My Foley catheter is the biggest problem. It’s uncomfortable all the time. My butt feels as though I was anally raped. Ironically, the vagina which contains all the sutures is not an issue as long as the pain meds are on board. Sitting is impossible with the catheter in, but it will be removed Friday, 6/7. I have no doubt that being physically fit is serving me well through all this.

      Hi. Yes, it’s likely hypertonic muscles and scar tissue in your pelvic floor pinching nerves. I’d advise you to find a qualified and specially trained pelvic floor PT in your area and start seeing them. Once they train you, you can do exercises at home. In the meantime, you can try to palpate (apply pressure) to the are down there from the outside. I prefer doing it in the bath. Many of these muscles can be released from pressing around the pelvic floor area from the outside.

Once I was put on the appropriate dose of hormone therapy, most of these symptoms have subsided.

Luckily, I did not have voiding issues after my Supra pubic catheter was removed, and I was honestly able to get it out relatively quickly. Did you have an SPC, or just the Foley catheter? The suprapubic catheter is one way to avoid having voiding issues in many cases, but I’m not sure if you had that or not. I don’t know what to suggest other than to KEEP ADVOCATING. Don’t settle for suffering, and get as many opinions as you need to!

      The recovery got harder (if you keep watching), but in the end (3 years later), I’d do it again. Be sure to watch my “how to choose a surgeon” video!

    I had two days with Catheter, they removed it and I wasn't weeing enough...so they put "another" in my already swollen euretha, very very painful. Had it removed 5 days later, will find out Tuesday if I am in retention with my urine.!!!😢

    I had the same surgery. I had none of these issues, thank goodness.

      You may have had similar repairs, but likely done in a different way. Perhaps with lots of mesh, rather than native tissue repair. Most of my complications were related to my suprapubic catheter, which isnt necessary without a TVT sling. All surgeries are done differently. Mine were done in the most effective way for long term and natural results.

    I was always told testing for hormone imbalance is near impossible because there is a constant fluctuation…

      Yes. That’s basically what I’ve even told… and found through experience.

      Then that wasn’t a suprapubic. I got my foley out the next day also. SPCs stay in for 10 days.

    I cannot imagine being sent home with only Motrin I would never agree to have this surgery unless pain medication was prescribed that seems inhumane I’m talking about one of the comments
