Oophorectomy laparoscopic dictation

So, to start out: I had a total hysterectomy (uterus, cervix, and tubes, leaving ovaries) one week ago. It was supposed to happen vaginally, but once my surgical team went in, they had to switch to laparoscopic because I had massive amounts of stage IV endometriosis; my narration specifically mentions that my colon and an endometrioma on my left ovary were stuck to my pelvic sidewall with adhesions and had to be separated to complete my hysterectomy. This was the only mention my paperwork made about my left ovary at all. tbh I suspected I've had endometriosis for years, so none of this even really surprised me (although I was really disappointed they couldn't proceed vaginally and even cried about it in the PACU after everyone hyped up how great it was gonna be to not have lapro excisions 😭 )
Anyway, yesterday my anatomic pathology report dropped into my patient gateway account, and I'm equal parts morbid and self-obsessed lmao, so I logged in to read about what they found. It describes the tissue sample bag being delivered being labeled "uterus, cervix, and bilateral fallopian tubes," but in the inventory it lists "Left ovary, entirely submitted" as a sample section and lists "LEFT OVARY: Serous cystadenofibroma" in the pathologic diagnosis. And the clinical data lists "Operation: Hysterectomy vaginal, laparoscopic hysterectomy total with bilateral salpingectomy, cystoscopy." Wouldn't oophorectomy have to be listed if they ended up taking my ovary?
To me, after going down an anxiety-fueled research hole, it sounds more likely the endometrioma was taken and sent with the sections of my uterus, cervix, etc but not labeled properly so it was categorized as the ovary itself? (the "entirely submitted" makes me assume it's not an ovarian tissue sample or something like that.)
Of course, because it's a Sunday, leaving a message isn't going to get a response until Monday (or later today considering time of night.) And I know that I won't go into menopause if I still have one ovary! It's more like I'm having an anxiety attack about possibly being lied to.
Basically, I think I'm just looking for thoughts on what I'm reading/seeing until I can actually get in contact with my doctor. Or has anyone else had something like this happen to them?
edit: I heard from one of the doctors on my team quicker than I expected to. It was the cyst from my ovary like I was theorizing, it was labeled left ovary because it came from my left ovary. Both the oophs are intact 😮‍💨👏 Thanks for talking me through it, y'all 🖤

Good morning! I have my surgery tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn (laparoscopic total hysterectomy, possible oophorectomy) and am prepping today. I was wondering what your appetite was like the week after surgery. Normal? Less? Nauseous? I wanted to see if most people seem to not have much of an appetite or if I should do a bit of meal prep today for the week. TIA! ☺️

I will be 3 weeks post op, having a (hopefully) laparoscopic supracervical with bilateral salpingo oophorectomy. As stated, vacation was already booked and planned months ago. 9 hour drive, headed to the beach. I really just want to lie in the sun beside the ocean and work on my tan 💁🏼‍♀️ What are your experiences (even with other types of hysterectomies)? Do you think it’s doable? Give me the good, bad & the ugly. Thank you in advance!

Warning for the PTSD Section and assault mention
I am writing this because I remember when I was hunting for someone with a good experience with EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) and especially anyone with Vascular Ehlers Danlos. I struggled to find anyone who did not have a horrible year after and a horrible surgery. I did have complications but they were not too bad.
Things we knew before going in from past surgeries we planned for:
My tissues are like wet tissue paper at best and it's like stitching jello at worst. For this the plan was robot assisted surgery, with reenforced stitches, and dermabond. Reenforced stitches means two layers not directly on top of each other but spaces a bit apart so the strain wasn't on one particular place. For the areas most likely to tear this was important.
Malignant Hyperthermia. Basically my body tries to cook me to death after anesthesia sometimes. It did this time but we knew so care was prepped
Dislocations of all the things. I dislocate more than most people with EDS and so we planned for any movement of my body I couldn't do to be via the sling method. They use a blanket to hoist and move you for less risk of joint and spine harm. You will dislocate because you aren't conscious to control those muscles and this will hurt for a while.
I also have a messed up spine. Multiple spinal cord injuries including missing vertebrae. This effects my ability to breathe when I sleep so does effect anesthesia. I did need Oxygen for two days.
For all of this we knew I was staying at least one night. From experience I knew it was likely two days. It was 2.5. I had a sudden recovery from everything just before the discharge cut off for the day. It coincided with my insisting I get to get up and use the actual toilet.
I also have Complex PTSD from non EDS things. For this they made sure the hospital psychologist checked in with me and I scheduled therapy for after surgery as I always do because surgery is vulnerable and triggering. I am a survivor of sexual assault and anyone else who is or otherwise struggles with vulnerability related to your vagina should schedule therapy. A hysterectomy is going to trigger you because of what it is. I don't think anyone can have parts of their vagina removed or associated body parts, feel pain in your body there, and not be triggered. This did mean I struggled with the Purewick Catheter because it touched me there and I have enough nerve stuff left despite paraplegia to be aware. I couldn't relax my muscles to pee after the first time so we had to use bed pans and sitting up (I managed to make a mess every time) and then finally the toilet.
Asthma issues were mostly the normal post surgical phlegm. I did need my inhaler once during my ICU stay on day one.
Mast Cell Activation Disorder - I needed a steroid while in the ICU because my mast cell decided anaphylaxis was a fun addition to my surgery. Surprisingly it didn't do the usual go for fresh wounds and scars but my throat alone. I assume the irritation from the tube did it. So I had some nasty throat blisters and mouth blisters. It only flared once and standard treatment for me worked. My throat is still sore but I am not having issues now. I did have a scar tissue abscess on my 5th day and a blood blister in my armpit that are mast cell related. My team and I discussed this as the abscess blew out so nothing to culture. The difference for me is in if the abscess has a core or refills or is just pus. Just pus isn't a real infection. I also had my white count hit 400 in the hospital. That was wild and the highest it has been. It came down to almost normal by the end of day 2 (like ten or 11 pm)
At home? My wheelchair broke so I am breaking the rules and using my walker. I am not supposed to since I am a paraplegic but as I can stand and take a step then rest I am doing that while we wait for repairs. The hospital did NOT break the chair. The chair is just old and my new one keeps getting delayed. My wheelchair is less safe and my doctors know because I made sure they do. Hopefully the new chair is here in time for my 6 week. I have alternatives and help if not.
I am rejecting stitches on one of the wounds. This isn't unusual for me. I expected more rejected stitches than this and hopefully none in the vaginal cuff. I don't know at this time but nothing feels off so I'm not worried. For the uninitiated rejecting stitches sounds scary but it just means you aren't absorbing the absorbable stitches. Once you heal enough they'll pull them. It stings. For me I sometimes get bits that suddenly come out years later. My scalp cancer site does a bit almost annually. It does mean the scar will look worse but usually that's it. Once in a while my body will try to make infections or infection like symptoms with stitches but that's probably the mast cell
For my stitching my doctors discussed past surgeries with me and contacted my plastic surgeon as I had a full facial reconstruction in my early adulthood and lost one stitch because I smiled. No one could tell within months I had surgery. So the stitching will vary based on what is necessary but every surgeon reenforces the wounds. This is not doubling stitches but actually slightly loose stitches with support from derma bond and well places extra stitches to balance the strain on the tissues. I always pop a stitch because it's how EDS rolls. This time my cat tackled me and the belly button lost one. Due to our planning this just hurt and I bled a very small amount. I also cried because it hurt and Czernobog has been careful since. His only other fiasco was trying to claim my legs and putting too much pressure on my belly doing that. He moved immediately on ow and is back to trying to make himself lay beside me.
I am not usually healed much by 2.5 weeks. Normally I don't have my stitches out for 8 weeks on my abdomen. 6 elsewhere. I have begun the EDS scab tango. This is where our skin flexes too much for the scabs to stay attached to the skin. It means usually extra bleeding and sometimes higher infection risk. This time one of my wounds is basically done. Had the scab come off with my blanket when I got up for meds at midnight and the wound is closed except the tiniest bit of skin. It bled a little (just a couple of drops) and made a lot of sebum (healing fluid aka the clear stuff you get on scrapes) and is good.
The others aren't as good but are farther along in healing than expected. The belly button shed a ton of scabs over the last few days but the important ones actually have stayed. They will pop off eventually and it will sting but this is the high strain wound for me and it is great. The only one that's being odd is the one with rejection. The stitches are acting like barbed wire and holding the scabs on but not stopping them from getting caught on things. I may endure my adhesive allergy (already doing it for the dermabond) and buy a bandaid for it. I don't use them so I don't own any.
That's it. My pain has been less than my normal pain. This isn't just my body no longer making elastin to prepare for the babies it hopes for which increase dislocations and pain for most people with uterus and EDS. This is also not cramping, no more twisted ovaries, no more bleeding. I have energy which is absurd as I just had major surgery. I sleep better. I didn't need extra pain management for long. I tapered that down based on what my body was doing and actually was off my extra meds at the 1 week point. The uterus and friends were that bad.
Oh yes I had a complete hysterectomy or a laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy with Trachelectomy and Hysterectomy. I prefer to call it Yeeterus or removing everything and the kitchen sink.
I don't mind questions. Also I intend to update this periodically with different stages of healing. I am aware from other threads and my own hunt that most of the experiences were not good. I noticed a lack of planning for the complications in those discussions and I think it's a part of my experience being so positive

Hi everyone! I've been on here reading about everyone's experience and it has been so valuable. Couple questions about recovery:
I had a Mini-Laparotomy that converted to Laparoscopic Myomectomy, Right Salpingo-Oophorectomy, and Cystoscopy
-any advice on how to be comfortable sleeping? I am a side sleeper and haven't been able to comfortably so now my lower back hurts a lot
-During my procedure, they did have to remove my right ovary. Now I'm experiencing dull pain there -- did anyone have this experience and can share any advice on whether or not I should talk to my doctor?
Thank you in advance!

I’m almost 4 months post-op (robotic/laparoscopic/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) and have twinges on my left side below the incisions for the robot and above the laparoscopic incision about belly button level. After surgery my left side felt “tighter” than the rest and would twinge during the healing more so than the rest. Since I am so grateful for: ~ Not being anemic, ~ Having more energy ~ No longer dependent on firefighters at public events when I would pass out from anemia - ok they were pretty hot but not under those circumstances ~ my life no longer looks like a murder scene
I hate to complain but wonder if anyone else has twinges well after surgery.
And to reassure anyone concerned about their surgery it’s not painful per se just a twinge > a 1 on the 1-10 scale with 10 the worst.

I am now 4 days post op. I had: 1. Robot assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy 2. Bilateral salpingectomies 3. Cystourethroscopy and stent removal 4. Right oophorectomy 5. Lighted stent placement
I had multiple cysts on my ovaries, paratubal cysts, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and a fibroid. Just all the things. My doc warned me her endo patients can experience more pain and sometimes longer recoveries than others. I am apparently falling into that group. I've still had quite a bit of pain, and it's not the gas pain. I've had enough laps to know the difference. This is clearly pain where she did work and sharp vaginal pain. Tonight I thought I could help get bread out of the oven and get my kids' plates dished up for dinner. So defeating when shortly after intense pain struck and I am miserable. Apparently that was "over doing it". The other fun part is the hot flashes/ sweats have started.
Others that have had slower recoveries, when did you feel like you really "turned that corner"? I am normally so go-go-go and so this is so hard to be so still and taking it easy. I also have ADHD so that doesn't help 🙃 I have a 7 year old and he has done great understanding mama has to take it easy. It's been really hard with my 2.5 year old. Not being able to put her to bed, change her or lift her out of bed in the morning has been heartbreaking. That is the emotional part that has been so hard.

Tomorrow is the day!! On 4/25 I'm scheduled for:
Robotic assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy but potentially bilateral, laser treatment of endo, possible lysis of adhesions, cystoscopy with lighted stents.
This is for previously confirmed endo (almost exactly 11 years ago), suspected Adenomyosis, and fibroids. My last laparoscopy 3.5 years ago noted pelvic regions had significant Allen Masterson lesions/ peritoneal windows in posterior cul-de-sac with a 0.5 cm area consistent with subserosal leiomyoma and a slightly boggy uterus that was well suggestive of Adenomyosis. My right ovary had a cystic area that was consistent with corpus luteal cyst however endometrioma couldn't be excluded. I also had 2 brown lesions on my right ovary that were 2-3 cm and a 3-4 mm dark powder burn in my mesosalpinx.
I am most anxious about what they will find when they get in there. So much cannot be visualized until surgery. The countdown is on!

I’m 61 and lost my mother and sister many years ago, both to ovarian cancer. I am BRCa negative on both the original and updated tests.
My old GYN never recommended surgery. Said trans-vaginal sonograms would catch anything in super early stages. 3 months ago my new GYN told me that is not true and because my mom and sister died very young, I could have as much of a 10% chance of developing ovarian cancer, which they would likely not find until stage 2!!! Not sure how I didn’t know or suspect this but ignorance is both bliss and dangerous.
Had bilateral laparoscopic Salpingo Oophorectomy a week ago. I was very nervous about recovery and overall impact on my life. Other than some soreness at the incision in my belly button, I have not had any real discomfort, let alone pain. I didn’t mean to but it was a beautiful day and I ended up walking (strolling) six miles through a neighborhood park the day after surgery. They said two weeks off of work but I felt good enough to go back after one.
I am following directions about not working out, lifting, etc. but have my post-op in a week and hope I am cleared.
I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS SURGERY AND WAS SO PISSED THEY PUT THIS THOUGHT IN MY HEAD but somethings you cannot un-hear. NOW, I am so grateful I did this even though I was terrified. I will did one day but I no longer have the images of how the women I love died in my head as a possible future for me. I am free. Please let me know if you need support or details or if you have any questions. So glad I did this.
One note is at 61, I am post-menopausal. No doubt much easier than having done it when I was younger. I cannot speak to that added level of difficulty, but I can tell you the procedure itself was fine for me. as was the recovery.

I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 1 week ago.
I've been searching the interwebs high and low to find someone who has a similar situation like me but have found nothing.
I am 43 (44 in 3 days) and was diagnosed with stage 2 estrogen receptor positive invasive ductal carcinoma in 2021. Went through chemo, mastectomy and radiation. I've been on Tamoxifen for 2 years to hopefully reduce recurrence.
I went to see my PCP a couple months ago for severe fatigue and while I got an interesting diagnosis out of that, it was also discovered that the Tamoxifen is not working and I am making more estrogen than a pregnant person. Not good considering my cancer was estrogen receptor positive. After a visit to my oncologist, OBGYN, an ultrasound and more labs, we decided to go the hysterectomy route.
Am I all alone here? Has anyone else had this experience?

I just wish they had agreed before I got cancer.
Robotic hysterectomy with BSO and cancer staging stuff. That part's not as exciting, hope I don't get lymphedema. Also it's not really a BSO, they already took my left ovary last month. Super excited to get everything out, but I wish they would let me throw it in the incinerator. Now that my reproductive system has tried to kill me, I want to watch it burn.
I have had nightmare periods and symptoms of PCOS since I was 10, although I wasn't officially diagnosed until 15. I gave up a few years ago and settled on using a nexplanon until I hit menopause. Didn't expect it would be the same nexplanon but I'm not complaining.
Just had an open abdominal salpingo-oophorectomy last month, hopefully this will be easier to heal from since it's laparoscopic.
Edit: holy FUCK I woke up in the worst pain of my life and it took hours in the PACU to get it under control. Ended up getting admitted for pain control, there's no way I could have gone home like that.

Hi all. I'm 37 and have a hysterectomy with oophorectomy scheduled for the end of May. Stage 4 endo and estrogen positive breast cancer (DCIS, now NED after double mastectomy).
I've has a laparoscopic ablation with cysts removed from both ovaries two years ago but everything is back with a vengeance. My gyno says this is the next step. I am afraid of the oophorectomy since I cannot take HRT, but I'd also like to be free of chocolate cysts.
Can those of you who have gone through this share your story? Did you feel like the surgery helped more than it harmed? Thank you.

At Dr. Chandrakanta’s Gynae-Oncology Center in Jaipur, we understand that every patient diagnosed with endometrial cancer requires a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. As experienced Gynae Oncologists in Jaipur, we employ a comprehensive approach to determine the most suitable course of action for each individual.
The process of devising a treatment plan for endometrial cancer typically begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests, including imaging studies and biopsies. Our team of experts, including skilled gynaecological oncologists and multidisciplinary specialists, collaborates closely to assess the extent of the disease and identify any factors that may influence treatment decisions.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed and the staging of the cancer is determined, we discuss the available treatment options with the patient, taking into account their overall health, preferences, and goals. Treatment for endometrial cancer may involve one or a combination of the following modalities:
1. Surgery: Surgical intervention is often the primary treatment for endometrial cancer. Depending on the stage and extent of the disease, procedures such as hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes), and lymph node dissection may be performed. Our Gynaecological Oncologists in Jaipur are skilled in performing minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries, which offer faster recovery and fewer complications.
2. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy may be recommended as adjuvant or primary treatment for endometrial cancer, particularly in cases where the cancer has spread locally or there is a high risk of recurrence. External beam radiation or brachytherapy (internal radiation) may be utilized to target cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.
3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy may be administered before or after surgery, or in combination with radiation therapy, to destroy cancer cells and prevent their spread. Our team closely monitors patients undergoing chemotherapy to manage any side effects and ensure the best possible outcomes.
4. Hormonal therapy: Hormonal therapy may be recommended for certain types of endometrial cancer, such as hormone receptor-positive tumors. This approach involves the use of medications to block the effects of estrogen or progesterone on cancer cells, slowing their growth and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Throughout the treatment process, our Gynae Oncologists in Jaipur provide compassionate care and support to patients and their families, addressing any concerns and guiding them through every step of their journey. We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their care and strive to achieve the best possible outcomes with a focus on preserving quality of life.
If you or a loved one is facing endometrial cancer, we encourage you to reach out to Dr. Chandrakanta’s Gynae-Oncology Center in Jaipur for expert evaluation and personalized treatment from experienced Gynae Oncologists near me.

5 weeks ago due to pain/torsion, I had an emergency laparoscopic unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and removal of the associated 12cm tumor. I was told these are uncommon and no information, cause etc is available. I was starting BHRT and wonder if this could be a factor or will be a factor in the future? I have no problematic OBGYN history of any kind so this came as a surprise. On internal inspection, follow ups my uterus and other ovary are fine. Endometrium small etc. One unusual finding was the surgeon noted a somewhat fatty liver which is odd due to my healthy lifestyle/little drinking but they ran a liver panel and it was normal.
My only indication of my cyst was unexplained weight gain and early this year I started struggling with stress incontinence while running.
I did not take pain medications or antibiotics. I took Mg for constipation for 2 weeks but stopped 3 weeks ago. Healing is going well however I am struggling with digestion issues, nausea when I eat to "full" and sometimes when I evacuate, ongoing sluggish bowels/constipation. Recent ultrasound shows no problem with peristalsis, no fluid/blood or colon inflammation. I have always had excellent digestion and never experienced constipation before the surgery.
Any information on the tumor cause/prognosis, relationship to BHRT if any or my ongoing digestive issues would be greatly appreciated. I am eating well, exercising (easy runs now) but nothing is helping my digestive issues.
51F, 175cm, 66kg which is normal (*72kg before surgery).
No drugs, social drinker (2x/month), 30yr vegetarian, athletic (still do endurance sports), diagnosed hypothyroid 5 yrs ago but otherwise very healthy. Occasional menstruation (5 months out of 12) likely due to BHRT but effectively menopausal.
Thank you for your time!

Coming up in June, I am having a laparoscopic oophorectomy, vaginal hysterectomy and bladder sling surgery all at the same time. Has anyone else done this?? What was your recovery like?

Oncology can’t identify all the mutations and markers of my sisters cancer yet, but they say it’s very aggressive, chronic, and will return. This news isn’t very uplifting, still hoping my sis will finish treatment next week. Long story short, this is a research-based cancer hospital and all tumors are donated to research. This cancer is not identified as BRCA, FANCC etc more commonly known mutations.
Now oncology wants all females to get Laparoscopic oophorectomy immediately, (except my daughter, too early)
So these new procedures are booked now for April and June

This sub was so helpful when I was planning and prepping for my surgery. I wanted to share my uneventful recovery story from 4 months post op. Everyone's healing is going to be different. For reference, I had a robotic, laparoscopic, supracervical partial hysterectomy + salpingectomy (no oophorectomy), for fibroids + maintaining a childfree life, and I'm 35.
Work:
At 4 weeks post op I went back to work half time for a week and full time at 5 weeks. I mostly worked from home the first three weeks back, but went back to hybrid by week 6. My commute in the winter is a ~1 hour bus and light rail each way and I didn't have any issues. At 16 weeks I switched to biking the route which is also an hour, but that was mostly due to the weather consistently being above freezing where I am and not how healed I felt.
I work a desk job and was able to pick some tasks that didn't require a much thinking for those first two weeks to ease back into things. I was glad I had left some end of year cleaning tasks that didn't require much brain power.
Travel:
11 weeks post op I traveled to a conference a 2 hour flight from home, was super active all 4 days connecting with colleagues, presenting science, and walking around the city.
The thing I was most nervous about was a ski trip to Colorado scheduled for 14 weeks post op that included two full days of travel and two full days of skiing. It was fine. I felt totally normal. Skied all day, so weird twinges or pain or anything. Honestly, it was one million times better than it would have been pre-surgery since I probably would have been bleeding like crazy that week and it suuuuucks to go to the bathroom in ski gear + carry around supplies.
I also went to the desert at 15 weeks and spent time running, swimming, lounging. The only annoyance was that I kept my scars covered to avoid worse scarring from UV. I usually don't wear a 1 piece so I had to buy a new suit. And again, pre-surgery I would have been bleeding everywhere and not able to go swimming comfortably most days.
Exercise:
I found the exercise guidance to be rather confusing. Some people seem not be be able to do anything for weeks and weeks, and I was nervous to overdo it as I've been an athlete my whole life and am a little too tempted to push things usually. But I tried really really hard to do nothing besides walking and light stretching for the first two weeks and then slowly add other thing.
I walked around a mile a day starting 3 days post op. Worked up to 2 miles by a week post op and stayed around that for the next couple weeks.
I started gentle yoga at 2 weeks and modified a bunch to avoid stressing core muscles. It was mostly yin style or a bunch of floor poses. I planned on doing pelvic floor PT, but never ended up going. I did some pre-op visits to get some exercises and still do those sometimes as part of my regular exercise routine.
At 6 weeks exactly I started more intense exercises. Went back to peloton workouts but kept things in the saddle and worked to build back my cardiovascular base with power zone endurance rides. I found this to be super helpful in getting back my energy and returning to my pre-surgery fitness level. I also started weigh lifting at 6 weeks, but, again, starting really light to rebuild. The only thing I would warn is to be SUPER careful with core exercises that require any sort of rapid movement. I did some v-ups a bit too early and had some incision pain for a few days that made me return to just walking to make sure I didn't mess anything up. I didn't run until 3 months post op but that is because I don't like running and it was cold where I live.
Sex:
Started at 6 weeks and it is one million times better than before. No more fibroid creating weird pressure in certain positions. No more fear of unwanted pregnancies. No more weeks of bleeding so much sex would create a literal laundry list of chores to do after.
Hormones:
I haven't noticed any changes in estrogen/progesterone hormone cycles. That first week post op I was more emotional than normal, but I attribute that to the surgery + anesthesia rather than any hormones. I was tracking my cycle with sympto-thermal methods pre-op and considered continuing to do that, but now I just track symptoms to generally know where I am. It helps keep in sync with what energy I am bringing to a particular day and plan my tasks accordingly.
I hope this helps folks plan out their possible recovery!

That’s right! My uterus messed around and found out. Well, only after 25 years of torture and getting away with abuse, until I found a competent GYN - that actually believed in me -, and chop, chop: uterus and its associates, gone!
Jokes aside, hello everyone, I’m 3 days post-op and one of my stitches is poking and hurting a lot, is this normal?
I had a robotic laparoscopic with four incisions, one of them in the navel. I’m taking the recommended pain killers and I’m even on antibiotics because I got a throat infection due to the intubation (I wonder why?). But it doesn’t matter how well I prepared for the post, it seems like this particular stitch is off, it’s more tender, reddish and look like it has a little knot. Did someone else experienced something like this? What was your solution?
Another thing, did someone else started using the hormonal patch immediately after the oophorectomy? Did you feel any different? Few hours after applying it I felt like I was dealing with PMS symptoms, what kind of sign can this be?
I wish I could be saying already “hurray, no uterus, no problems”, but between that crappy stitch and not being able to cough or sneeze freely, this past few days have been hardcore.
Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions.
