Buck531 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 My mom has to go in next week for a full hysterectomy. What should I expect as far as changes in personality? Any real long term changes other than the obvious? Depends. My wife had one done two years ago but they left her ovaries. Are they doing a full or partial? My Mom had a full done back in '80 and she was on estrogen pills until now. She had breast cancer a few years ago but they caught it early and she beat it. As for my wife.. she's fine. She doesn't take the estrogen pills but just doesn't have the 30 days deals anymore. She does have a cyst about once every year which sucks. Other than that no real problems.

DKilbourne Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Mood will change if there is no estrogen replacement therapy/pills. Depression is somewhat common as well with this. Just keep an eye on her and ask the doc questions about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 She will most likely be pretty emotional for a while, even with taking estrogen. Its not going to be a huge change, but Id stay away from any sad stuff for a while, I know women who break down at the smallest things. But, itll get better after a few weeks.
