Fibroid Laparoscopic Surgery
Recovery time for laparoscopy??
I just had my operation for laparoscopic surgery scheduled for Feb.7
Does anyone know what the recovery time is for that type of surgery?
I'm having a cyst on my ovary removed and a fibroid which is about 3-4
inches. I have a trip to San Francisco scheduled for Feb. 17 and I was
not sure if I would still be able to go. I live in North Carolina, so
I will be flying cross country. Thanks.
Assuming there are no complications and the cystectomy and myomectomy go well, you should be able to make your trip on the 17th. However, it would be advisable to have assistance with your luggage, as you really shouldn't be lifting heavy items that soon after the lap. Also, you may experience continued fatigue and other side effects from the anesthesia and laparoscopy; 10 days is not a long time in the grand scheme of things...while you are likely to feel better by then, you will still be healing on the inside. So just take it easy and you should be fine. Also - be sure to get up and walk a bit during the flight as well (i.e. stand up to stretch in the aisle a bit if you can, walk to the bathroom a couple times, etc.). As long as you have clearance from your surgeon, you should be totally ok. Good luck.
Endometriosis To Pregnancy
Did you know that endometriosis affects approximately 1 out of 10 women? And endometriosis is the leading cause of infertility in the United States. Now you’re probably wondering what exactly this mysterious disorder is and what are the causes that hinder so many couples from conceiving? In this article we will discuss what endometriosis is, the causes as well different treatment options.
First, let’s discuss exactly what this disease is. Endometriosis is when tissue from the lining of the uterus attaches itself elsewhere in the abdomen. It usually affects the fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, and sometimes even the pelvic cavity found in the abdomen which can decrease a woman’s chance of conceiving by 40%.
Symptoms of this disorder may include intestinal gas, severe cramping, excessive menstrual bleeding, insomnia, diarrhea, constipation, lower back pain and depression.
As a whole, causes of endometriosis remain a mystery to health professionals, but one thing that they do know is that an abundance of estrogen is one contributing factor. Another theory is that the endometrial tissue in the menstrual blood travels up through the fallopian tubes and implant in the pelvic cavity. Some theorist also believe that this disorder could be genetic. As mentioned earlier, the fact that estrogen is a major contributing factor explains why women between the ages of 25 and 40 are affected the most. Such things as alcohol, fried foods, caffeine, pelvic infections, constipation, uterine fibroids, cancer or the presence of IUD’s and tampons tend to irritate the uterus which in turn exacerbates this disorder.
Since we now know what endometriosis is and the main contributing factor, let’s take a look at different treatment options available. Since hormones are a major contributing factor to this disorder, health professionals agree that it is a good idea to treat the woman’s liver with herbs, particularly burdock. The reason being is because a woman’s liver helps eradicate estrogen from the body. Herbs have been medically proven to help reverse and lessen the symptoms and factors to this affliction for most women. Another option is surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has been used to diagnose and treat this problem in the same procedure. Many women have also been told that a hysterectomy is a definitive solution for this disease, but in rare occasions the disorder has returned.
