29y/o female-My doctor wants me to have a Hysterectomy. Has anyone else been through this?
I had only had 2 periods since 1/1/08. I went to the Gynocologist a few months back. We did blood work and an ultrasound. The blood work showed I had Hypothyroidism. I went on Synthroid. My labs have come back normal now since I started that treatment. However my ultrasound was abnormal. There was a simple cyst on the right ovary and a mass on the left. The lining of my uterus was so thick they could not measure it and I had fibroids and possible adenomyomas. I had a Diagnostic Laproscopy with a Hystoscopy, D+C and biopsy with washings done last Wed. When I came out of surgery my doctor was very upset. He said my stomach was a mess of adhesions and scar tissue. He said the left ovary has to come out and my uterus is the size of someone 3 months pregnant. He said we would talk more at my follow up. The follow up was today. And he wants me to have a Hysterectomy with a removal of my left ovary. My right ovary will stay so I won’t experience early menopause. He does not know if he can do it laproscopically because my belly is such a mess. I have had 4 previous belly surgeries. My husband and I have 2 sons. We had wanted 2 more but its not in the cards. However I just wondered if anyone else has been through something like this and if so how hard is the recoup from an open hyst. I am an RN and have been for 8 years so I have a pretty good knowledge base. My husband and I know my doc both professionally and privately. I trust him alot. But I am still scared.
