Part I: Hysterectomy & Excision Surgery for Endometriosis & Adenomyosis

I had a hysterectomy at 22, I suffered from the time I was 16 (that’s when I finally started my menstrual cycle)with painful periods, endometriosis, fibroids and random some cysts down my Fallopian tubes. I spent almost every month in the ER when I had a period (very irregular cycles) while I was pregnant I had another major fibroid in my uterus that grew with the baby. My uterus was toast after 9 months of growth. But having a partial hysterectomy at 22 was the best decision I ever made. I have never regretted it and I’m Now 51. I just had some blood work done and I’m officially post menopausal and I have never taking any HRT’s.

Wow, I had no idea about any of this. You brought me to tears, this is my life. I have had all of these symptoms since I started my period and I am 40, and had no idea why, no Dr has helped. They just keep recommending birth control and it’s never helped. My daughter is 14 and has heavy and disabling periods already. Because if this I will get us both seen. Thank you.

My hysterectomy was the best self care I’ve ever done. Happy healing!

Adenomyosis is truly awful! I went through the same things, regarding heavy/long periods etc. Having a hysterectomy was the BEST thing I ever did! It went smoothly and I had no complications at all. I have felt so much better! Good luck, Danielle! 😊

Danielle, I love how open and honest you are! My Mother suffered from endometriosis until she was 40 and said having a hysterectomy was the best decision she had ever made. Good luck with the surgery and God bless.

This made me cry. I’m 24 and sick of dealing with Endo! I feel like no one listens or understands me. Thank you for sharing your story.

Brilliant. So happy for you. Sending love for a healthy recovery.

Good luck Danielle! Wishing you a safe, successful surgery and speedy recovery!

So glad that all of this has fallen into place for you. Wishing you all the best! Your openness and willing to share your story will help so many.

OMG!! You recorded this MONTHS ago but I’m JUST watching today! I was recently diagnosed with adenomyosis and will be getting a hysterectomy ASAP…I hope!! My periods have been awful for the past 3 years and have become unbearable in the past 2 months! I have ALL those symptoms..heavy, prolonged bleeding/clots, bloating/fullness, diarrhea/constipation, nausea, headaches. My blood count has gotten so low from all the bleeding/clots that I also have iron deficiency anemia and need iron infusions. I finally have a doctor that is doing something, so I see light at the end of this very long tunnel! So THANK YOU for sharing your story. I WISH I had found you sooner!

Wishing you a successful surgery and easy recovery. I relate to everything you’ve described. I had a similar experience - years of undiagnosed pain, then surgeries, procedures, drugs, then infertility. It’s so easy to feel like no one understands. Thank you for sharing and best wishes!

Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way! Thank you for sharing this!

Danielle, you are a WARRIOR and this surgery will be the grand explanation point to a beyond rough, challenging and emotional many many years. Stay strong, healing is just days away. Sending hugs and all the positivity I can to you 💖🌸💖
