Questions for Your Pre-Op Hysterectomy Appointment

"Help! I'm overwhelmed and treading in unchartered waters. I am about to have my pre-op appointment with my doctor. What questions do I need to make sure I ask my doctor? Is it okay to take a list with me when I go for my appointments?"

The following is a list of good and informative questions to ask your doctor. Don’t be afraid to print out this list and bring it with you to your appointment!

1. How long will the surgery take?

2. What will be removed? Uterus, ovaries, tubes, cervix, appendix?

3. How will the organs be removed? Through abdominal incision? Through vagina? With help of laparoscope?

4. How long will I be in the hospital?

5. How long will I be on bed rest?

6. Will pathology report be done of all organs removed? I do want one done.

7. How long before I receive results of my pathology report? (If cancer is suspected, when will I begin cancer treatments and what kinds of options are there?)

8. If I'm taking BC pills or HRT, do I stop taking them prior to surgery?
