Hysterectomy Support Group

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). Although there are conservative alternatives, hysterectomy is performed for uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, pelvic relaxation, heavy or abnormal menstrual bleeding, and cancer.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who is my age and had a full hysterctomy. I am just not starting to grieve and I have no one my age to talk to that has been there, My hormones are getting under control, but I don't feel like I am the same person anymore. Any advice?

My Mom had one when she was barely 40, I believe.

I had a partial at 23, I only have my ovaries left, and have had to have a ton of scar tissue removed after it, it was filling in alomst all the space where my uterus was.

I know how you feel, there was a huge hormone shift when I had mine, it was like having a baby, and I still feel like they aren't under that great of control.

I was a few weeks shy of my 27th b-day when I had a partial hysterctomy. I still have my ovaries. I was and emotional wreck for a long time. I just could not get over the fact that I couldn't have anymore children. I was blessed to have one child but I would have loved to have others. I'm coping with it better these days but I've been having some tough times because there have been several baby showers at my job the past few months. I hope you start feeling better, it takes time allow yourself time to go through all the emotions. It is a really big lose, if you want to talk anytime let me know.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
