MidwestUSA Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Whatever the reason for your hysterectomy, physically, you'll be fine. I'm assuming you're younger than me. Can I ask why they need to do it (if not too nosy)? I had my hysterectomy on Jan 12th, 2007! I'll take that as an omen of good luck for you! As for the fibro, get thru the hysterectomy first, then start doing your research. Do your best to keep physically active. I've had the same diagnosis, and am not sure how much I believe in it. I'm doing well at the moment. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

MidwestUSA Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My OB/GYN doctor saw it was falling into my vagina and I just turned 36 on December 28th I'm sorry to hear that. That's a very young age to have prolapsed. Have you had children? Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieT Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Please do extensive research on diet as related to Fybro; I have a number of friends who have been diagnosed and have been able to mitigate the pain with the removal of complex proteins (can eat fish, can't eat beef or chicken) and the removal of processed glutens (can eat simple whole grains, but no highly processed white flour-based foods) from the diet.

bathtub-row Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I had female problems a few years ago and ended up having an ablation. It was great and you keep your uterus. I didn't have what you have so I don't know if that's an option for you or not. I think it was a really good alternative to having a hysterectomy. It might be worth asking your doc about it.

Sorry to hear this. Do physiotherapy and seek a good therapist in pain management. Hopefully your Dr can recommend someone to you. I know a few people who have fibro and are able to live a normal life with the help of meds and pain management. Just be careful about the dosages of pain meds if they give you some of that.

bathtub-row Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am having a partial,the top part gets removed. Interesting. I've never heard of that. I'm 56 and still don't have any symptoms of menopause, which I'm really happy about. I'm convinced that the ablation is responsible for that. I have a cousin who's a couple of years older then me who had the same procedure and she doesn't have hot flashes, etc, either. Most people 10 yrs younger than me have menopausal symptoms and it seems so odd to me that I don't and never have. I don't think there's any research about the connection between the ablation and menopause, I just wonder about it. Well, I certainly wish you the best. Hopefully you'll start to feel better when you get past this. Please keep us posted. Link to post Share on other sites
