Patient's Query

How long do ovaries work after hysterectomy?

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

Ovaries will continue working even after you undergo a hysterectomy.

 

But to understand how they will function, read ahead!

  • If you are left with either one or both of your ovaries intact, then chances are that you will experience menopause within 5 years after the operation.
  • Ovaries continue to make significant levels of testosterone & androstenedione, at least until you turn 80.
  • Ovaries also produce small amounts of estrogen for approximately 20 years after menopause.
  • Muscle and fat cells convert testosterone and androstenedione into additional estrogen.
  • Lack of sufficient estrogen production:

 

Hope this answer solves your doubts!

 

Since hysterectomy leave your abdomen hanging, thus you can overcome same with a tummy tuck as well!

If the uterus is removed, as in a hysterectomy with preservation of ovaries, they usually work normally until natural menopause. But this may differ from person to person and the surgical approach. You should talk to your gynecologist and with the surgeon that did your surgery for details about you case. They will inform patients about post-surgery ovarian function recovery.

I am a burse and while handling patient i come with a patient who is hiv positive and his blood comes to my finger and my adjacent finger is having wound which is about to be healed but not open . So am i at high risk

Female | 22

HIV is a virus that can be transmitted by blood. Acknowledging the low probability of contagion in your case, because the wound is almost healed. In case you get some symptoms like fever or body aches, then don't be scared it doesn't mean that you have AIDS.

Headache and have yellow mucous

Male | 18

Headaches and yellow mucus often suggest a sinus infection. Sinuses get blocked, causing head pressure and pain. Yellow mucus indicates your body is fighting an infection. Try using a humidifier, drinking water, and saline nasal sprays. If the mucus doesn't clear, see a doctor.

treatment very emergency please

Male | 23

When you say it's an emergency, what symptoms are you experiencing exactly? It could be something like a severe allergic reaction, an asthma flare-up, or even a sudden heart issue. In cases like these, it's crucial to seek urgent medical help right away. If it's safe for you to do so, call emergency services or head to the nearest hospital immediately. They'll be able to assess you properly and provide the necessary treatment.

What to expect 4 months after hysterectomy?

Male | 45

After a hysterectomy, the recovery period will significantly improve after four months. Most women find less pain, better movement and back to normal life. Hormonal changes may still occur, and emotions about the transformations occurring in reproductive health might not settle. It is important to make regular follow-up appointments with your Doctor for monitoring of overall well being and addressing any concerns that might be developed during the recovery process.

How to sit after hysterectomy?

Female | 43

After a hysterectomy, sitting is merely the time to facilitate your recovery. Do not proceed with the bend-over technique – use your legs to squat and rise. Pick sturdy chairs with high backs and armrests. Avoid the heavy lifting, forcing pain and take regular breaks. Talk to your doctor for customized recovery plan with particular recommendations as to the proper posture. Pay attention to your body and try focusing on gentle motions along with relaxation.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.

Male | 20

I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

I am 35 years old a female patient. Few days back I was undergone a surgery for repairing Harnia in Bangladesh. Doctor has cut most of the part of belly button without any consent of me or my gurdian. Now I am stable but I am bit concern of my future health as one the most important part of my body (belly button) was missed.

Female | 35

Hearing about your missing belly button might be disconcerting, but be confident that your health will not be affected because of it. Your navel does not take part in your health's normal job, so you should be fine. Anyway, however, always watch for any discomfort or abnormality, such as pain or swelling in that specific area. If you do notice something different then you should consult a doctor.

Hello, I want to get a surgery done for my 9 month old son for polydactyl (extra toes in both feet). What would be the cost for both feet? And is it general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia?

Male | 1

Polydactyl is a condition characterized by presence of extra digits in the hand, foot or both

It needs a surgical removal. For a child of 9, it can be done under general or spinal anesthesia and may need a day's anesthesia.

 

Will need to see the child to see if tendons or bones will need any alignment,  cost can be quoted thereafter.
