Sorry if its tmi, but I thought I'd ask some advice on my problem. Last summer I had nova sure done and it stopped my intense, heavy and never ending period(s). Last month I began bleeding after sex. I went to the gyn who checked me out, took swabs and sent me for an ultrasound. Gyn came back and told me I have adenomyosis and that my uterine lining is growing back rapidly, it grows through the muscle. So she suggested a hysterectomy. I have birthed 7 kids and no longer need it so no problem there. BUT after going through nearly 3 weeks of pain with my sleeve surgery, I am scared to death to have another abdominal surgery just to be in pain for another 2-3 weeks. has anyone else been through anything similar?

I have heavy heavy bleeding as well, I have been contemplating either a hysterectomy or nova sure?? Was the nova sure worth it to you???

Well it was at the time, but even then they tell you that you still might need to do it again in like 3-5 years. Then there are people like me who still need a hysterectomy any way...

I know how you feel. I had a hysterectomy 3/19 and scheduled for my band to sleeve revision on 4/21. I'm 11 days postoperative and the pain is minimal. I'm nervous about the upcoming surgery because it seems like a lot in a short period of time. Besides I have 3 girls (1,6,8) and I'm a RN (not use to being on this side)....I think the hysterectomy was minor compared to the other but I'm sure we both will do great!

I had a hysterectomy last year. Pain wise it really wasn't bad at all. I was sore for a little while but nothing really "hurt" as long as I didn't try to lift anything. Honestly I think the cramping the night of my ablation earlier that year was worse pain wise than my whole recovery from the hysterectomy! And now, just shy of 7 months post op from my hysterectomy, I can't believe everything I went through before hand. It's been such a blessing in my life!!

I had 2 children and after a postpartum blood clot in my brain with my second daughter, we were officially done anyway (my hubby even got snipped 4 months before my surgery lol oops)! I couldn't take hormonal birth control anymore because of the clot, so hysterectomy was pretty much the only option left after my ablation only lasted 3 months! I was apprehensive about the pain (and only being 28 ) but I would do it again in a heartbeat now that I've enjoyed life after!! The pain was minimal, and the results have been life changing. I finally feel so much better and I'm ready to move on with my band to sleeve revision and get myself healthy!!!

Good luck!! I definitely say it's worth the minimal pain. If you need it, it really will make life so much better!!

I had multiple (5+, I forget how many) abdominal surgeries to remove ovarian cysts/ruptures. Finally I was given the possible option of an Alblation or Hysterectomy. They did a biopsy and told me the Alblation was no longer an option. At age 33, with 1 child I had a partial Hysterectomy. They left me with 1 ovary so I wouldn't go through menopause that early in life. It was the best decision I ever made, or had made for me. I was finally free from having severe cramps, backaches, leg cramps, anemia, heavy bleeding that would last for weeks even months at a time. I no long needed hundreds of dollars of femine products. And I have since haven't utterly embarrassed myself by "leaking". I felt like Mel Gibson in BraveHeart........FREEDOM!

I say GO FOR IT. Pain is only temporary. The freedom is forever.

I had a surgery for this back in 2002. They can also do the surgery vaginal. They dont have to cut you open. I healed very fast, the pain was very minimal.
