So I had my hysterectomy a couple of weeks ago for cervical carcinoma in situ. I had my two week follow up today and was told I also had a uterus full of 3cm fibroids.

K so here is my questions/situation:

Since my surgery (kept ovaries) I have felt ten years younger and better than I have felt for a couple of years. I have yet to have any peri symptoms this entire two weeks without any form of treatment. I can't find any information with the fibroids and their relation to peri, only that they can put you into menopause earlier. Is it possible that the fibroids were causing my hormone problems? Has anyone had fibroids removed and perked up and felt better? I know the procedure alone could have thrown my hormones off balance for a bit, but it seems odd that I have went to the better side rather than the worst side (which most women normally have after hysters). Obviously I want to continue to feel better, just curious if my problems might be in a jar in a lab somewhere.

Before you had the partial hysterectomy were your periods really heavy?

The doctor told me because i have a rather large fibroid, thats the cause of my heaving bleeding, just wondering what
your experience was, sorry i can't help with your initial query

Oestrogen dominance is responsible for fibroid growth, and can encourage abnormal cell changes in the cervix. Fibroids can lead to other problems like heavy bleeding, urinary issues etc., Progesterone cream to oppose the oestrogen dominance may help.


Sorry you're having more problems Maybe the doctors can monitor the fibroid situation - I have a 4.5cm fibroid - I've left mine well alone --

davinci,

that is great you are feeling so good!! Enjoy it!!

I don't really know much about fibroids, although I used to have one and it disappeared near the end of peri. I had an ultrasound and it was just gone. I guess the estrogen levels had dropped off and it went away. Go figure.

I did have heavier bleeding, cramps, cycle changing constantly but I didn't associate it with fibroids because I was never told I had them. I have to say though having those puppies out, I am a brand new gal!

Oh quite the contrary, I'm not having ANY problems. I feel awesome, where has my peri gone? I don't think I had peri at all but the fibroids were sucking up my hormones making me feel like doo doo. The hyster took the fibroids out and was the first I knew that I had them.

Sorry davinci -- just went back to read this and realised Ive totally misunderstood your post. You wouldn't have a problem with fibroids anymore since you've had your uterus removed -- I'm such a DUH brain sometimes ---

Thanks for the info

Great to hear!

youre welcome
