Back in 1996 I had Hysterectomy operation I was close to forty years of age. I had uterus removed and a small cyst removed from my ovaries which they didn’t remove. I had a prolapsed womb, my bladder was pressing on it the muscle that held it in place needed repairing which they did .
Every thing was fine, I was given Hrt patches. I had started getting UTI's and Thrush, Breast cysts which was drained at my local hospital on and off through out the years, used over the counter medication drinks unless I couldn’t clear it up myself. I would go to my Dr, I was having. U TI's as long back as I can remember after child birth, 2 Episiotomy and one tear. I was taken off Hrt when we discovered it would be safer for me not to have it seeing as I kept having cysts in my breast. After I had turned 55 ish I didn’t get any more cyst and everything was okay, still had the odd one or two UTI's. Until one day my dr said I need the help of vagifem pessary, what a big relief 3 years I have been using them so far . I had camera test done CT scan to see if my ovaries were enlarged , gladly they had shrivelled up which is a good thing, had polyps removed from my bowels which were tested and were fine no problems there. Last year I had to see my Dr about them because I had three, what I thought were water infections close together. This year Dr said that there wasn’t any infection and it could be very likely VA and dr at hospital gave me antibiotics to treat it. I was sent for a fast track appointment by my dr at new cross Hospital to examine my vagina and to look for anything nasty. She was concerned about the redness and lesionS. This was back in beginning of September. I was checked out by hospital gynea who told me it wasn’t cancer, could be lichen Planus, to carry on with vagifem and clob and said I would get my next appointment through the post in 6 weeks, it will be 9 weeks this Monday and haven’t heard anything from Hospital. Good job I found Jane Lewis on Face Book and all the tips I have picked up off there, I have gladly, everything under control with me and my vagi ointments, moisturisers and oils plus vagifem twice a week. I’m good not perfect but much more bearable. Thank you for listening From June Guest, Age 64.
