>>193512First of all, anon, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Most the reason why medical professionals pressure you to make a decision quickly is so that you won't say no.
My only advice ever is to remember you have the option to walk away. A medical team terrified me and pressured me into a procedure. I sobbed when they told me it would be $10k just minutes before I had to go in. As I was changing into my dressing gown, I put my clothes back in, asked the charges to be canceled, and left. The nurse CHASED me into the parking lot and harassed me over the phone for weeks. Something felt seriously wrong about that.
When I went for a second opinion, the doctor referred me to a cheap imaging center where they told me my issue was benign. I could go into surgery if I felt like it, but it would not impact my overall health.
Hospital settings are built so that you're stripped of your agency. Unless it's an immediate life or death scenario, always get a 2nd opinion and research different places to have the procedure performed before going into a surgery.

>>193513>>193514Yeah I believe it was a bit of an emergency in my sake sadly. She ran through the photos with me afterwards and showed me that when they untwisted my tube it actually lost all flow and began to expand and worsen. I believe I had to have this surgery done…. Plus while in ER I ate an absolute cocktail of painkillers and nothing was helping.
But I understand where you're coming from anon, they even replaced my IUD which I didnt want to happen as IUDs are known to damage reproductive organs.
Surgery is so traumatizing, especially being a woman, our bodies are already so fragile.

>>193513>>193508I'm sorry you had to go through that, anons.
Not every country's healthcare system is like that, though.
Not sure if exactly thread related, but I had a terminated pregnancy about two years ago, so if anyone has questions about it, hit reply.

>>193516>especially being a woman, our bodies are already so fragile.What happened to you at the hospital sounds very traumatic and hope you'll be better soon.
But this just isn't true at all. There are tons of diseases we are much less suceptible to. We have more active immune systems men. We live longer even if you don't count accident deaths.
Our bodies aren't fragile. They are resilient as fuck.

>>193533Very true anon!!
I guess I wrote fragile because I feel like that so far post op, I feel broken and bruised.
You're very right!

>>193523Abortion?
What was it like for you and how did your body change after surgery?
No. 193593
>>193555Yes. Tbh, the body recovers very quickly. The next day I was a bit tired, but the second day after the intervention I was doing my thing like usually. In my case, though, I didn't have my period for a few months afterwards, apparently is a thing that can happen; went to the gyno and she prescribed something, I took the pills exactly like indicated and eventually got my period regularly.
However, there is a great emotional impact! Since the heart and the mind are part of the body, I'll throw this in, too. It's not an easy decision to make, no matter how it seems to an outsider. It's a decision you have to live with. Personally, I thought either don't have it, or don't part with it.
It was the right decision to end the pregnancy, yet I very much hated that I had to do it. And that recovery is a considerably longer journey.

>>193570>surgically removed sweat glands at 13Anon wtf, I didn't even know this was possible. Did you have adverse effects besides the scarring?
>>193512So sorry to hear this OP, when I started having issues with cysts and fibroids I realised how fucking quickly these doctors just say "Fuck it, let's cut it all out".
It's good to process the stress and grief of this, but as a random on the internet I promise you are NOT half a woman, nobody sees you that way. Thousands of women conceive after procedures like this, and even more traumatising procedures like myomectomies and such. Your body will heal and recover, give it time. And if motherhood is your calling, it'll happen whether you have one ovary or a dozen of em.

>>193512I have 2 siblings and my mother had only half of a single Fallopian tube and a quarter of an ovary. All of us were conceived naturally and came out perfectly fine. It was still devastating for her (she didn’t know she even had a cyst until it ruptured), but it didn’t limit her childbearing abilities (she also didn’t have a full uterus, since her cyst had gotten infected after the rupture and some of her uterus was damaged). You may very well still be able to have biological children.
>>193518How long did the recovery period last and did you see an improvement in the shape? I’m “only” a US H cup in one breast and the other is a G, but the bigger one looks so sad and floppy compared to the other. My nips are basically at my elbows and I just want cute little perky B-C cups.

I had a diagnostic laparoscopy and I was wondering when I'm allowed to do things like ride my bicycle again? I know you're not allowed to lift more than 5kg for the first two weeks, so I have stuck to that, but when am I allowed to do everything again? I don't want to lose much more strength/fitness, because I probably have to go in for a proper resection next time and who knows how many surgeries after that. But I also don't want to herniate anything. They say you're allowed to swim again after two weeks, so I'm planning on doing that, since that's a low-impact way to exercise. But what else will I be allowed to do? Sorry if this counts as necroing a thread.
