Can anyone spell out for me how it came to be known that the only mod was male and hawking friggin’ supplements? And I read he was banning people? Was that for calling him out or …? I visit but am not on here enough to have not been blindsided by this … and I’m an annoyingly curious person. I’d just like the tea. This seems wild.

Anyway, I’m ride or die with the bear.

Just need to vent a little and get feedback from ladies who have been through their surgery already.

I (43) have a 14cm fibroid and my surgery is finally coming soon, can't wait for december though I feel very anxious.

I feel sooooo exhausted and I want to know how has been the recovery for you weeks, months after; did you see your energy levels get back to a more normal level?

The surgeon will try to get it out vaginally but told me it will very likely switch to open due to its size and my no-kid history.

Hi all! I am planning on getting my uterus and cervix out early next year. But one things I am worried about is post surgery sex.. for those of you who have pretty “well endowed” partners, have you had any issues, after being completely clear by the dr of course, with deep penetration? Or was everything seemingly the same as before?? Thank you in advance for sharing any experiences!

(Posted originally in the other hysterectomy sub but wanted to share here too.)

Part 1:
I’m 6 week post-op today!
I had my appointment a couple days ago and my surgeon said the cuff looks good and is healing well but there are still a few stitches in there. She also told me nothing in the vagina for two
more weeks (so 8 weeks po I’ll be cleared for sex, etc. Not sure I’ll feel ready at that point. Just the exam she did, which was hardly anything, was a bit uncomfortable and left me feeling sore.) But aside from that I am fully cleared to go back to normal al life. All restrictions are lifted. 🎉
She did remind me to ease back into regular life and that being sore is normal still! I appreciated that reminder because I tend to just do too much and also my brain thinks that I should be all the way better by now! (Logically I know I’m not fully healed yet! But whatever other part of my brain it is thinks I should be. It’s annoying. Lol!)

Part 2:
So, during my hysterectomy my surgeon found fibrosis on my peritoneal lining on the left side- left ovarian fossa, to be exact. As she dissected that, she found a nodule sort of deep under the fibrosis. She excised the nodule as well. (Path report showed there was endometriosis in the nodule.) About a week or week and a half post op I noticed a different sensation and some pain on the left side of my pelvic cavity. I figured it must be just healing sensations. It got a little more uncomfortable during the following week. And since the. It’s stayed about the same and gets worse when I sit upright in a chair for too long, lay curled up, or stand too long.
The sensations are like a constant dull ache and pulling. And the uncomfortable feeling/pain radiates outward and down. I’ve not felt anything quite like this before.
When I told my surgeon all this at my 6wpo appointment, she said it sounds like scar tissue formed in the area where she dissected the fibrosis & excised the nodule. And it formed in an unfortunate way to be causing these sensations and pain. 😭 That was what I was concerned about.
My surgeon mentioned that it could potentially soften and get better but it usually takes quite a while for that to happen.

On one hand it’s not a big deal as the feeling/pain isn’t typically too bad, mostly just annoying.Thankfully it’s not anywhere near as bad as the pain I had daily before having my uterus removed!!
On the other hand, it’s discouraging to have this pain now. Because it’s most likely permanent. Extra sad since the rest of my healing has been so, so great. I have no pain anywhere else from this surgery. If I didn’t have this scar tissue pain, I’d have absolutely zero pelvic pain at all!!! So, I’m fighting being sad about this. I don’t want to spiral. But I am also bummed. I know there are risks & complications with any surgery. And scar tissue is always going to happen since I was cut apart inside. But I just wish it wasn’t like this, ya know?
I AM very grateful it’s not anything worse. I think about that daily.

Anyone else have uncomfortable scar tissue form after surgery?

Just wanted to share.
