Adaptándome a mi nuevo organismo 😱💪 // Adjusting to my new organism 😱💪

Hello dear friends of Hive, it's been a while since I've been here; between one thing and another I got lost...but it's never too late to come back and as they say, the good son comes back home!

Yesterday we celebrated International Women's Day, the day of the warriors, who day by day dedicate ourselves to transform our society, fighting for a world with equal opportunities.

That is why, framed in this date where our courage is commemorated, I want to tell you about my last surgery that I underwent 20 days ago today.

A few years ago I entered a normal process in women over 45 years old I am talking about menopause which as you know is the withdrawal of the monthly period; but together with that came with the appearance of a Uterine Myomatosis; which is nothing more than the appearance of benign tumors that grow inside the uterus; which produced a lot of bleeding and irregular pain causing my hemoglobin to drop very often, although in some cases in other women may be asymptomatic.

My biggest problem of irregular bleeding began in June 2024 when I had to go to the gynecologist because I had bleeding for 21 consecutive days and the doctor where I went evidenced through an ultrasound my problem of uterine myomatosis, for which I had a treatment for a week based on vitamin K to regulate the bleeding; I improved in the course of that time after that my menstrual cycle was affected and in the following months I had my period up to twice a month or again for a long time.

At the end of December, I went to another specialist who, drawing the same conclusion about uterine myomatosis, suggested that I undergo a total hysterectomy, since it was better to perform this type of procedure before other more unfortunate consequences.

It was then that after a physical examination, laboratory tests and an ultrasound confirmed the presence of fibroids, which had already caused the loss of the normal structure of my uterus.

After recommending an endometrial biopsy to rule out other types of alterations, I had it done and it came back clean and negative for any malignancy and we planned the surgery.

After a few days waiting for my insurance approval, the surgery was scheduled for February 17 of this year.

Está es mi 4ta intervención quirúrgica.

When I arrived that day I went to the clinic where the procedure would be performed at about 11:00 noon, and at 4:00 in the afternoon I was given my code to enter the operating room; the intervention lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes, after this time I was taken to the room for my recovery.

The first hours were full of pain and painkillers for which the doctor told me that it was normal for the post-surgical process because three organs had been removed (the ovaries and uterus).

The first night was quite hard for me, because I was in a lot of pain, so much so that they gave me 4 types of painkillers without getting any response to calm it down, for which they had to put me on Tramal; which was what allowed me to sleep a little.

Twelve days after my operation I went back to the doctor to have the stitches removed, everything being completely normal and without any complications and I even look better.

Today, after 20 days, I am a little more independent to walk around and go to the bathroom and I am recovering satisfactorily, waiting to complete my total rest, which is 60 days according to your suggestion, to return to my work at school.

See you in a future opportunity where I will continue to tell you more about the recovery of my intervention, thank you all for reading me.
