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 am 38 and have complex partial seizure disorder and am scheduled for a hysterectomy for blood clotting and severe pain during my periods. My gyno plans on leaving my ovaries.
My seizures are always more frequent before my period. I was wondering if anybody can tell me what affect their hysterectomy had on their seizures?

I haven't had seizures in a very long time but I was told there is a relationship between migraines and seizures so I figured I'd add my 2 cents in. My migrains have deminished greatly. I have had very few since the hysto. but they were mostly caused by hormones so it will depend on what causes you seizures.

I was wondering this my self. I also have complex partials and was hoping the hormone shift won't through me into seizures. (It did when I had my first daughter, but not my other kids) I guess I will wait and see.

Well,turns out I had adenomyosis and they left my ovaries in and at first i was seizure free for about two weeks. Then they started getting steadily worse. Now Idk if hormones have anything to do with it but I have more seizures now than ever.

I hope that your homone levels even out for you and your seizure will too! ((hugs)) I am ((crossing fingers)) hoping that I don't have an issue. I don't think I will, just because hormones aren't huge trigger for me. Very hot weather is though.

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...
