Colposcopy and hysterectomy on Monday

Hi. I’ve been fast tracked for a colposcopy and hysterectomy to be done under general anaesthetic all done within a week of 1st gp appointment 

I had an appointment two days ago with a consultant in gynaecologist and he has put me in immediately following looking at my scans and that I’ve been bleeding for a month. Thankfully I took pictures of the bleeding as a reference so they could see it as I feel I don’t get believed sometimes 

I’m really concerned about the procedure and the recovery time. Has anyone got any advice or information about the procedure and pain after etc

I run a dog grooming business and know I won’t be able to work but for how long?

  • Hello Onlyme52

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some recent health concerns, which now mean you'll be going into the hospital for surgery next week. It's understandable that you're feeling a little concerned ahead of the operation and how you'll feel afterwards. 

    We have some information about hysterectomy and information about recovering after surgery on our website, which you may find usefulul. I wonder if you might also find it help fu lto chat things through with one of our nurses ahead of your surgery next week. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that everything goes smoothly for you next week Onlyme52. Do let us know how you're feeling when you're able to. We're here for you. 

    Sending my best wishes,
