Surgical Removal Of Ovary / Oophorectomy

Oophorectomy - Hospital Admission

Text

Certain hospital formalities maybe required before hospitalization especially if you have private health insurance. Clarify the issue with the doctor or with the administrator. Sometimes authorization maybe required from your insurance service provider for the procedure.

You may require to pack your usual toiletries and a few clothes including undergarments, night wear for hospital stay. If the operation is done using Laparoscopy the stay in hospital may only be for a day or two whereas an open surgical procedure may require a 5 to 7 days stay.

You are advised to discuss the type of anesthesia with the doctor. It is best to clarify all the doubts about the procedure. In some patients these procedures are done using general anesthesia and in others the preferred anesthesia is using a spinal or epidural anesthesia.

In April this year I had my left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to a tumour the size of a grapefruit. Eight months on and I am getting stabbing pains and shooting pains, deep inside where my scare is. Its making me feel sick and I'm having hot flushes at the same time. Has anyone else experienced this also? If so is this normal or should I contact my consultant about it? (Posted by MissP32, United Kingdom Date : 11/21/2011 )

I had a right unilateral oopherectomy 2 years ago because I had a cyst. Since my surgery I have experienced weight gain, irritability, water retention and extremely hot palms and soles of feet. I have tried an estrogen spray, estrogen injection,birth control pills and natural estrogen pills....all without success! I have recently started applying a natural progesterone cream that seems to help a little. I am also taking lasix as needed for the water retention, which seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions?

Just had left oophorectomy and cyst on right ovary sent out to lab, plus a d&c. Now on day 3 after surgery and suddenly have lower back pain, bleeding increased, plus breast tenderness- almost like I have my period. Is this normal?

I had 1 ovary and 1 fallopian tube removed when I was 20...I got pregnant 3 months later and now have a 19 year old. After that I miscarried 2 times. I have had lighter periods and the bleeding is dark. I have told my physician that I think I'm going into menopause (also have night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness and hair loss. Doctor says no, that I'm to young and refuses to check my hormones (I'm 40 and still on birth control). What do I do? (Posted by emily40, United States Date : 8/29/2010 )
