Whilst the vast majority of hysterectomies are performed without a problem, there are a number that do cause an ongoing problem for women.

There is life after a hysterectomy, it may include the menopause. However, this is not necessarily 'a bad thing' and is perfectly natural. You can post your questions on life, the universe and everything here!

One of the most common questions asked about hysterectomy is 'when can I go back to work?' the answer is often 'how long is a ball of string?'. A standard answer from medical practitioners is that it should take around six weeks. But this will be dependent on many other factors, such as you health before the operation, the type of job you do and any ongoing condtions.

Having a hysterectomy can cause you to go through the menopause early, either because you have had your ovaries removed, or because your ovaries fail.

After a hysterectomy that removes the ovaries, a woman will experience what is known as a surgical menopause.

We know here at the hysterectomy association how boring it can be while you are recovering, and have created this forum so that you can share links to websites where you can get stuff for free, usually for completing online forms or questionnaires etc... This forum is for posting only, so no replies please.

Over the last year a few members have got in touch to say that they have services that they would like to offer to other members. This is the place to post the details and don't forget contact details. So if you are offering a cleaning service in Swindon, or taxi to hospital in Glasgow, this is the place to do it!

Lots of you are forming some quite close friendships while you are online and we know that you don't always want to be just talking about 'the op and its aftereffects' so this is the place to just drop in and say "hello" and have a general 'chat'.

OK, so you've had the hysterectomy - now what do you do with all the sanitary towels and tampons still hanging around? Suggestions for creative disposal of sanitary items and contraceptives here please for everyone to enjoy, if they so wish. Do remember though, that contraceptives should eventually be returned to the pharmacist for appropriate disposal - it is how you do the return we are interested in.
