diagnosis and date (TLH for heavy bleeding)

Hi everyone. I hope I am writing in the correct area. I keep trying to reply to certain posts about my condition but it won't let me

I had an ablation done last year and it stopped the heavy bleeding and cramping for a good six months. It was heaven. My Mom passed away and all my problems started again at that time. I started having severe cramping, pain, contractions, and discharge. Now only one or two weeks out of the month am I ok. I have the pms symptoms so severe I feel like I am dying. Not much bleeding though.

Today I got my surgery date. June fourth I will have a TLH. He wants to keep one ovary if possible since I'm only 44. I was also diagnosed with adenomyosis and fibroids.

I'm terrified of course but sick of the pain.

I'm from Ontario and hope to hear from others with similar experiences.

Hi proudgramma!

First off, I am so sorry about losing your mom. That is very difficult.

You are posting in the right area as you are pre-op. Regarding responding to posts... Since you have not had your surgery, you cannot respond to posts in post-op. Were you trying to post there?

Your emotional is very normal. This is one tough surgery to process. I have read other posts from women with your problems. Hopefully some of them will see this post and respond.

Thank you so much for the reply and yes I probably did post it in post op.
I hope others see my post too and comment How are you feeling now since you have had your surgery?

It has almost been 2 years for me... very hard to believe.

My situation was a bit different than yours. I had no issue, no pain, no heavy bleeding, no symptoms... but my GP found a huge mass during my annual exam. Rapidly sent to an ultrasound and MRI. Long story short, it was a complex ovarian cyst and I also had multiple uterine fibroids. My surgeon was a gyn onc (I was in the OR 10 days after he examined me, about 30 days after my GP examined me) - there was a chance it was cancer. Everything came out and all tested benign.

But for me, since I felt fine before, I don't feel quite as good as I did before surgery. I feel okay, but best that I can describe it is that I am at my new normal. The plunge into surgical menopause after surgery was very hard. The HRT has helped tremendously, but it is not quite the same.
