I had a laparoscopic-robotic-vaginal hysterectomy by a GYN oncologist. I never had any pain or vaginal drainage after. Went home same day. Easiest surgery I ever had done.
Hi YMMS -
I spent months in horrific pain seeking a correct diagnosis. Once a biopsy proved my hunch right, I found an amazing surgeon and had a complete hysterectomy. Because of the horrid pain, for which no medication really helped, I was less scared of the surgery than living in pain. My surgery was done laparoscopy. Honestly, it was MUCH easier than I feared. I woke and, for the first time in over 18 months, I no longer felt the overwhelming pain. I was a bit sore, but it was nothing compared to pre-surgery. The doctor and nurses made sure I received pain meds before the pain was even felt. I was in the hospital for 4 days. Please keep in mind that everyone's experience is different. I have underlying chronic health issues that complicated things, but overall, the surgery and recovery went very well. I hope you are able to find a great surgeon who will explain what type surgery is best for you and what you might expect.
