I had a hysterectomy 6weeks ago for abnormal bleeding while on tamoxifen (a drug used to treact my breast cancer ) They did find endometrial cancer so I Am glad it is out.
I had the hysterectomy at the same hospital as my j pouch ( Cleveland Clinic) When I was told I would need a hysterectomy I contacted my j pouch surgeon who is no longer at Cleveland Clinic and he said that a hysterectomy would be no problem but I would need a colo rectal surgeon who does jpouch surgeries in the OR.
There was some scar tissue between the uterus and a portion of the small intestine and I was able to have both ovaries, tubes, uterus and cervix removed laparoscopic leaving me with a one inch incision and three 1/2 inch incisions. I was discharged the day after surgery. My pouch acted up a bit post op but has settled down.
The colorectal surgeon did explain that depending on how things looked in the OR with scar tissue she might have had to take out the jpouch and give me a temporary ostomy While remaking a new pouch. I had to consent to that as a possibility and we would not know until they were in the OR. Luckily that did not have to happen
At 3 weeks post op I was walking 2 miles a day and at 6 weeks I am back to work fill time.
I don't have any input into menopause because I was already in it.
Good Luck
