I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy on August 15 and would love to hear your stories.
Since the birth of my daughter in January I have developed very heavy and painful periods. So much so that sometimes I cannot leave the house. My quality of life has gone down and I'm just tired - physically, mentally and emotionally. I've had bloodwork done and it all comes back normal so no leads there. I have a significant family history of uterine and colon cancer which has lead my GYN to believe that I have Lynch Syndrome, which is a gentic predisposition to those cancers. I also have a blood clotting disorder (MTHFR C677T) with a previous history of DVT (blood clot) that prevents me from taking any type of hormones to control the bleeding.
My doctor is going to do the surgery vaginally with laproscopic assist and will remove only my uterus and cervix.
