Any and All please help regarding total hysterectomy removal of both ovaries and HRTFrom: Debbie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Apr 13 23:17:12 2002
Hello, new to this site will give you some history. 39 year old, was diagnosed 3 years ago with Fibromyalgia. About 6 months ago periods went hay wire! Went to family Dr felt fibroids said no big deal we will do a ultrasound to see how big they are and start taking birth control pills and he would let me know about the results of the tests. Went to get the ultrasound and during the test the technician asked when my follow up appt was and I told her I did not have one and she said make one. I was in my Drs office the next day with the results of the ultrasound. Had a cyst about the size of a apple on my right side looked normal and a cyst that looked bad about the size a navel orange on the left ovary and fibroids in the uterus. Well the following two weeks were filled with CTscans, Gyn appts and I needed to get an Oncologist Gyn. The cyst on the left ovary had to be removed to see if it was cancer. They were going to try to keep the other ovary if it looked OK. The uterus was going to be removed -- fibroids. Had surgery 5 weeks ago. No cancer -- but had terrible endometriosis. Every thing was "like a solid block of concrete with lots of lesions" direct quote from surgeon. Both ovaries and tubes and total hysterectomy was done not sure if he did anything with the lesions. Niether one of my ovaries were functioning. Sorry about the long history. My question to everyone is -- I am very young and I need help with questions about HRT. My DR put me on the patch right after surgery-estradiol .1mg. I didn't even know I had endo--thought all my problems were from Fibro. Now after doing alot of research low hormones and endo sound just like Fibro. Since the surgery I am back to having bladder problems and the bowel movements are painful all the time. I know I still need to heal and will give it time. But I am worried about all those lesions--is that endo left in me??? I am also very interested in HRT. My sex drive is gone, which my husband would love to see fixed! Is anyone taking progestrone who has had a hysterectomy? what about testosterone? I am still trying to find out about all of this so please bear with me. Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way. I think I am really worried about the estrogen messing with the endo. Debbie
