How does abdominal hyster compare to c-section?
I had c-sections in 1981, 1985, & ectopic preg. surgery in 1983. How does recovery from abdominal hysterectomy (doc is removing everything...including appendix) compare? Pain, discomfort, mobility, etc? My ovaries have already shut down due to chemotherapy....so I won't have the hormonal adjustment.
Ladies?
Thanks

Been there, done that!
Hi!
I had 3 C-sections and then a TAH/BSO. My new doctor kept telling me how I'd feel, and I kept telling him I knew what to expect. He didn't seem to believe me, but happily I was right! The nurses kept telling me how great I was doing, and I kept telling them it was because of the prior C-sections. Actually, I think the hysterectomy was easier because I don't have the loss of sleep I had while caring for the babies.
Hope all turns out good for you!

How does abdominal hyster compare to c-section?
Hiya
I asked my doc the same thing. I have had 2 c-sections (89 and 91) and was wondering how recovery would compare.
He said that it would be very simular, but there would be some new "quirks" because so many things need to find a new home.
As long as you remember how to turn and move you should be fine.
Take care!

How does abdominal hyster compare to c-section?
I, too, think my prior two C-sections helped me with the TAH. I knew what to expect - especially when it came to standing up that first time after surgery and moving around. I had a very good recovery and I found it a bit easier because my kids are now big and were able to help out.

compare to c-section
Cookie
That is such a good question. I didn't even think about that....DUHHHH I had a c-section and it is nice to have something to compare this to. I love this place you don't even have to ask all the questions to get all the answers.
