I had laproscopic supracervical hysterectomy a year and a half ago. Following surgery I had a lot of pain along the incision on my left side but I didn t follow up with the surgeon. Since then I ve had repeat UTI, Yeast and eColi infections, problems with edema and generally feeling unwell. Last summer I developed heat intolerance, and periodic purpuric rashes and worsening edema and painful inflammation. Then everything went over the top a few months ago after a yoga class - after hte first class I developed severe Pelvic pain and and severe inflammation then severe low back pain. I developed breathing problems and a CT showed scarring, mild hyperinflation and collapsing of previously healthy lungs. A PET showed increased uptake in spinal column. A PAP showed candida again, and obscuring inflammation. My urine output has quadrupled since last summer. My blood tests are going off the normal scale, high hemacrit and hemaglobin and I m told that inflammation shows in my liver (equal ratio in liver blood test) Now I have awful chronic diahrea, nauseau and stomach pain. I can t sleep on my lift side due to torso pain. An MRI of my pelvis raised some questions so I had a pelvic ultrasound. The radiologist reported a hydrosalpinx but the technician performing the ultrasound also showed alot of concern over something high up past fallopian tubes close to my (now irritated) scar from lap surgery. I ve been on one antibiotic after another and get some releif immediately after, but then everything comes right back worse then before. The gyn I m seeing wants to perform a salpingectomy and describes it as a small swollen watery mass in my fallopian tube. I can t imagine this tiny little mass can cause all this disturbance in my body a year and a half after my partial hysterectomy. I m very reluctant to take time off from work as my boss is irate over my being absent so often due to sickness and my gyn want me to take a week off followig surgery. On the other hand if this is the cause of all the problems I know I SHOULD DO IT! I keep questioning if this can be possible though?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Probably I agree with her. Only thing is can she do this laparoscopically? That would be nice decreasing the recovery time so that you can go back to work soon. All the best.
