Question 1

can't afford dermatologist and since my complete hysterectomy i now get acne all over before my skin was perfect what do i do?

Accepted Answer

If there are: no medical reasons why not you may benefit by continuing to receive female hormone therapy which could help your acne...discuss this with the GYN who did your surgery!

Hope this is helpful

Question 2

is hormonal imbalance possible with partial hysterectomy having only both overies that can cause severe blackheah/, acne issues, oily hair and skin a?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Unless the remaining ovaries are pathologically producing excess androgens(male hormone) from an enclosed tumor, then no. The ovaries will continue to function post op the same as pre-op unless their vascular connection is compromised during surgery. If there is a hormonal imbalance, the source could be with other endocrine organs such as the adrenal gland.

Question 3

i had a complete hysterectomy about 6 years ago can i take birth control pills for facial hair and acne?

Accepted Answer

Possibly : there are other treatments specifically designed for acne that would likely be more helpful. Consider seeing a dermatologist to discuss the options

Question 4

i have had a hysterectomy dec 2013. i have constant "ovary" pain and sore breasts. i also have acne along my jaw line and back. would blood tests help?

Accepted Answer

Hormone changes: Hormone fluctuations can occur normally with age.  Testing specific female hormones is not very accurate due to normal changes of levels daily. 
Pelvic pain can have many possible causes including ovarian cysts, bowel or bladder infections or issues, muscle or nerve pain, back pathology.  An evaluation and exam by an obgyn is a good place to start for both issues

Question 5

total hysterectomy with ovaries intact (2018). pms worsening with age. it feels like ive been in pms for a month straight. migraines/nausea/heavy sore breasts/mild cramps/acne/fatigue. why have i been pmsing for a month straight?

Accepted Answer

: (I used to practice in Cupertino.)  As long as ovaries remain, cycles without menstruation will continue.  I have no explanation for prolonged duration of "PMS" but understand why a gynecologist would preserve ovarian function at age  31.  I would advise discussion of your hysterectomy with the surgeon--many facts are unavailable to me

Question 6

post-total hysterectomy w/ ovaries intact (2018). pmdd worsening with age. feels like ive been in pms for a month. migraines/nausea/heavy sore breasts/acne/fatigue. why pms for a month straight? overall good health. cancer related?? im scared?

Accepted Answer

: PMS is generally hormone related, not a warning sign of cancer. Sometimes an ovarian cyst can cause a lot of those symptoms, and cysts are more common after hysterectomy. Maybe try to schedule an ultrasound with your gynecologist?

Question 7

why do women have hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: A hysterectomy is needed for cancer of the uterus, ovary, or cervix.  It is an important option for 1) large fibroids or ones causing heavy bleeding or pain, 2) endometriosis, especially if causing pain or ovarian cysts, 3) adenomyosis especially if causing pain or heavy bleeding, 4) prolapse of the uterus, or 5) treatment of pain and bleeding when conservative measures fail.

Question 8

what's a single-port hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Laparoscope site: The laparoscope is being used through the "single port site" to visualize the pelvic organs probably prior to vaginal hysterectomy. Most davinci(robotic surgery) and lavh surgeries require more than one site to remove the uterus. Although surgeons are increasingly becoming more efficient at operating through a "single port site.".

Question 9

how common are hysterectomies now?

Accepted Answer

Second most common : Hysterectomy is the second most common surgery, ( c-section is #1), with approximately 600, 000 annually in the usa.  Recent data suggest thevrate of hysterectomy maybe declining.

Question 10

hysterectomy what is recovery time?

Accepted Answer

6 weeks: It can take 6 weeks for you to be back up to speed after a hysterectomy, although many patients are doing well after 2 weeks. It is important to move, but to not over do. Avoid lifting. Eat a nutritious well balanced diet and drink lots of water. If you have any problems, get in to see your surgeon. Take care!
