Today I saw my gynocologist again and it looks like I am going to be scheduled for a partial hysterectomy. They have to call my insurance and such and then they will call me with the date, then I will have to go in for pre-op stuff.
He did an trans-vaginal ultrasound and said everything looked healthy all but the cyst on my right ovary which is normal. He said that all he is taking out is my uterus however if he felt that something else needed to come out he would take it out, he talked to me about all of that but this is just the condensed version.
Anyways so he gave me the option of having a partial hysterectomy ( actually he said if I wanted one he would do it ) and I said that yes I did, he asked if I needed time to think about and I said no, that it's been nine years like this and I am given the chance to at least alleviate some of the pain I am experience so I am going to take it. He seemed to be OK with that.
Of course having one doesn't guarantee that it will help with all the pain I experience, and though my surgeon will be called in I don't think she will do anything about the adhesion that is attached to my pelvic sidewall and colon because it's to risky and again there in no guarantee, I should probably get on the whole looking for a colon and rectal surgeon but I am just so tired and we are trying to move and I am just making excuses because well I am scared of having that type of surgery.
So that is what is going on for the moment. At 31 I am having a partial hysterectomy, it seems to young to have one and I am so going to have to talk to my psychiatrist about this whole not feeling like a woman anymore afterwards.
Sorry if this is garbled I am just wrote down my thoughts as they came along.
