Partial Hysterectomy 2 years ago

I had a partial hysterectomy two years ago in September. I noticed some "emotional" side effect right off but the past year and especially the past month everything has gotten a lot worse. I am only 26 years old. I have sexual desire but almost no physical attributes to it uless it is just me. I have become very emotionally confused at what is going on with me. It makes me wonder if I have any other problems besides maybe a hormonal imbalance. I am very irratable, very tired until late in the afternoon, buzzing with anxiety in the evening and going to bed very late. My temper is getting very short and it is starting to cause problems with my marriage of 9 years. Mainly because I do not have motivation to do house work. And this sounds stupid to me because anyone can make themselves do housework but it seems very hard for me. I feel my old self inside I just can't seem to acsess her. Is all this supossed to happen or is something else maybe wrong with me? Thank you.

Hi canlan and

You have come to the right place for support and comfort. Did you keep your ovaries? And, if not, are you on HRT?

Discuss your problems/concerns with your Dr. I'm sure your DR can help you with your situation. If not, he/she will be able to guide you in the right direction. Theres no need to suffer needlessly.

stay well

Yes I have my ovaries. No HRT yet. After two years I am going to the doctor on Wednesday for a hormone test. I am hoping I will get a lot of answers from that. My surgery was an emergency. I was loosing my life. With two uterus' and a ceserean, the doctor somehow twisted them and the blood flow was restricted. My uterus filled up with blood the size of a soccerball and they had to remove it. I just feel like they took me emotionally with the surgery and of course some physical parts too.

Hi Again!

I think that having a hormone test is a good place to start. Even though you kept your ovaries, it may be that they aren't working to full capacity. Please let us know what your doctor says.

Thank you. I will let you know after I see the doctor on Wednesday. I also want you to know that you have provided a very good web site. Your caring is tremendous and responding to me makes me feel good. I am glad people like you are out there.
