What is the Anesthesia used in a hysterectomy?

A couple of things, ...\n\nfentanyl is not an anesthetic,its a pain medicine (yes these are very different).\n\ndemerol is also not an anesthetic, and is not even supposed to be used for pain in this day and age.\n\nAnesthesia can be either general or regional. General is going to sleep and breathing gas,such as isoflurane,sevoflurane or desflurane. Regional anesthesia is having a part of your body numbed up, as with an epidural or spinal injection. With regional anesthesia you usually also get some iv sedation,like propofol or versed. Either general or regional are medically acceptable. It depends on the patient,surgeon and anesthesiologist as to which is the most suitable in any one situation.

Hysterectomy has to do nothing with your sexual desire. it harmone influenced.in female estrogen is mainly responsible for sexual desire.most commanly partial hysterectomy is done and ovaries are preserved so that estrogen supply is maitianed and it keeps Ur libido (also save u from menopausal symptom). complete hysterectomy is very very rarely done in modern surgical era their are very few specific indication for same. its great achievement in surgical field where thousand of women are saved of menopausal symptom and can lead better life with same sexual life as before. Its absolutely normal for u to have sex even after hysterectomy i belive u to r lucky as million more to have undergone partial hysterectomy.

Oral surgeons usually just sedate you. They don't do general anesthesia like a major surgery. You won't remember anything but you will need a ride home and someone to keep an eye on you all day. You also won't have to have a tube down your throat or anything like that when you are sedated. If you are having all four wisdom teeth out and if they are impacted, I would take the sedation. If they are all erupted, you could go for the local anesthetic. Just remember, you will have about 10 or 12 injections in your mouth to get you numb. So if you are afraid of needles, you should go the sedation route. That way, you get one in your arm for your IV and then they will numb your mouth up once you are asleep. Also, even though you are numb when you are awake, there are a lot of strange noises and A LOT of pressure. If I were you, I would take the sedation. Your surgeon should have discussed this with you at your consult.

in a hysterectomy, the uterus is removed...what a lot of people don't know is that whatever sperm doesn't make it to the fellopian tube to catch an egg is actually absorbed into the body and broken down. the sperm is so microscopic that it actually permeates the walls of the vagina and wanders into viscera.

NO!  A partia; hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus which is where a baby is carried until delivery.  You would no longer have a uterus or a cervix

Hey. That's isoxsuprine. It's used for tocolysis. That is, controlling premature uterine contractions for women in premature labor.  Also, since it relaxes smooth muscle, the muscular part of arteries relaxes as well potentially leading to hypotension. Signs to watch out for include increased heart rate and decreased respiratory rate as well as low blood pressure. However, the side effects I mentioned are encountered more commonly with the intravenously administered form of the drug. If you're taking the oral form, fewer occurrences of the side effects are noted. Take note however, that the drug has very minimal effects once active labor sets in. That's when your cervix has dilated to at least 4cm or your uterine contractions have become regular, more frequent, and stronger.

A partial hysterectomy by definition is removal of the uterus.  That said, if you have a partial hyst, you will have 0 chance of having a uterine prolapse because you will have no uterus.  There is, however, a slight chance of intestinal and/or bladder prolapse occuring after a hysterectomy.  This happens because the organs start to descend downwards, and can lead to such problems like constipation and/or urinary incontinence as well as pain during intercourse.  Repair of the supporting structures can be done if this happens to help the patient, and it doesn't happen in all women who have had a hyst.\n\nRemoval of the cervix alone is not a hysterectomy; it is called a trachelectomy.  Trachelectomy removes the cervix and a small portion of the lower "neck" of the uterus.  Vaginal, uterine and bladder prolapse do occur in a small percentage of women who have undergone trachelectomy, but again, this does not happen in the majority of cases and can be treated surgically if and when it does.\n\nHope that helps.

I have had a Hysterectomy years ago but I was fortunate in that I did not have to be on Hormone pills for very long at all. However I was on Premarin for several years when I was younger and as far as I can recall--Yes! It did make me \nnervous and anxious.Also after the hysterectomy itself a woman can feel tense and nervous as a Hysterectomy does affect a woman's emotions alot.It acts kind of like Pregnancy  does to a woman's emotions as it does mess up your hormones alot. Maybe you need to mention it to your Dr. He may need to adjust your Premarin.\n I DO HOPE YOU DO GET THE HELP YOU NEED AND BEGIN TO FEEL MUCH BETTER!\n\n                                      EDDIE 2

It is demerol (meperidine) and promethazine - a painkiller and antinauseant used as a preanesthetic for surgery.

While I haven't had a hysterectomy, I have had fibroids.  I had them treated without a hysterectomy through a technique called uterine arterial embolization.  There is another technique called myomectomy that is also effective, and probably better if there is only one fibroid.\n\nI encourage you to seek a second opinion - hysterectomy is one of the most over-recommended and over-done medical techniques around.  Unfortunately, some doctors view the uterus as an unnecessary organ, and some view hysterectomies and a profitable enterprise.  There aren't many of those, but it only takes one doctor to make a decision that's more in line with his or her needs than yours.\n\nI also encourage you to understand what the other treatments available are, and ask your doctor for a good reason why those treatments aren't right for you.

Pills marked Pliva 616 are:\n\nTRAMADOL (Ultram®) is an analgesic that can relieve moderate to moderately severe pain following surgery such as cesarean section, hysterectomy, hip replacement or other bone surgery, and dental surgery. This drug also helps relieve chronic pain associated with cancer, nerve pain, or low-back pain.

I have assisted in many operating rooms and have never heard of such a thing. There is 8 uterine ligaments, 4 on each side, but they are not marked....just simply cut so the uterus can freed from the body and removed.

after my surgery that happened to me also. i think maybe because i had a&p repair and when they do hysterectomies usually the uterus is prolapsed and they tack up the vagina,bladder and walls and rebuild some things as my doctor stated "your husband will like this". but since then as time went on  do get aroused laying on my back and other positions i have learned to adjust.

Unfortunately, it sounds normal with the blockage and the recent hysterectomy and other surgeries.  Best wishes.

I believe that after a hysterectomy, you go through menopause, it causes early menopause., Which includes mood swings.
