Total abdominal hysterectomy includes removal of the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes and cervix. La eliminaci�n completa de todos los �rganos femeninos no es tan com�n hoy como en el pasado. Doctors recommend that women keep their ovaries unless cancer, endometriosis, or other condition that requires you to withdraw for health reasons. The procedure is usually done under anesthesia and through an abdominal incision. The recovery time after hysterectomy is usually six weeks, unless there are complications. When a woman just has to have the uterus and cervix can be done vaginally and recovery time is less because there is no abdominal incision made. Conditions that may warrant a woman having surgery are fibroid tumors, excessive menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, cancer and uterine prolapse. Fibroids are usually benign, not cancerous but can cause pain and complications in women who suffer with them. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by fibroids and is one reason why some women should consider a total abdominal hysterectomy. Women who suffer with this too may have or develop anemia. Endometriosis is a tissue that can cause pain and even infertility in some women. The pain can be so bad that a doctor will recommend surgery. Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus moves from its location and extends into the vagina causing discomfort and sometimes pain. Another reason to consider the merger is the development of cancer. Usually cancer will be treated first with invasive procedures before surgery is considered. However, in some cases can be justified and necessary. The risks associated with surgery to remove the female organs may include but are not limited to blood loss, infection, possible damage to internal organs, urinary incontinence, bladder infections, and intestinal problems. The anesthesia used during surgery can cause nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness after. The recovery time after hysterectomy is likely to include at least three days a week in hospital. Because the abdominal incision restrictions will not resume normal activities for at least six weeks. Recovery time can seem difficult, but the woman using the time to get closer to the Lord will never regret. The occupations of fulltime job, raising children and taking care of a house can often take a toll on the time spent in communion with God and other Christians. Making a commitment to talk with the Lord and reading His word every day not only help with physical and mental recovery, but will bear lasting fruit in the Kingdom of God. quot; Abide in me and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in m�quot; (John 15:4). Removing the ovaries of a menopausal woman will take place instantaneously. Some of the symptoms associated with menopause can be very uncomfortable and can lead to depression. Usually a doctor will weigh all options and review the alternatives before making a total abdominal hysterectomy due to hormonal changes that occur when the removal of the ovaries. Hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, chills, headache, fatigue, vaginal dryness, and brain fog are some common symptoms associated with menopause. Alternatives to suffering with the symptoms can take hormone replacement therapy after surgery. There are some concerns with the use of hormone replacement therapy long term due to increased risk of developing breast cancer. Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy is an alternative to having a larger abdominal incision, but generally only considered for partial removal of female organs. The laparoscope is a surgical instrument which includes a small video camera. The laparoscope is inserted through small incisions in order to remove the uterus but leaves the cervix. Leaving the cervix may help prevent some of the risks associated with total abdominal hysterectomy, such as urinary incontinence and prolapse. However, a woman with large fibroids can not be considered for this procedure or vaginal surgery, simply because it would require more time in the operating room and have a surgeon who has a lot of skill to do it. Women who have received notice from a doctor who may need surgery before they can get and should get a second opinion from another doctor. A hysterectomy may seem like a really scary thing going through especially when this operation can cause other changes in the body, such as the onset of menopause. Another reason to really give this decision is due to a thought of long recovery time after hysterectomy. This means having to be absent from work for at least six weeks and help in the home for at least the first week after surgery. Having anxiety about this type of operation is very normal. However, many women considering the procedure have been in pain and suffered for a while and are ready to have some relief. Discuss concerns with a doctor can help calm some of the anxiety felt at the thought of surgery. There are many women who have undergone a total abdominal hysterectomy and are much better for it. Each person in the family must be supportive and helpful during the recovery time after hysterectomy. After a woman may feel very emotional, especially with the onset of menopause so that family members should be as helpful as possible and be there to listen and lend a hand to help in any way they can. Women who undergo this type of experience will be much better if everyone involved is supportive and willing to go a little further into the recovery period.For more information: http://www.christianet.com/menopause br br
