1. What are the other options to this medical condition?
2. Are any of the alternatives a possibility for me?
3. If I have a hysterectomy, should my ovaries be removed. If yes, why?
4. Will my hysterectomy be done vaginally, laproscopically assisted, or abdominally?
5. I still have my appendix, will it be removed during my hysterectomy?
6. Do you mind if I get a second opinion. (Any good surgeon will say yes in a heartbeat!!!! This is a test to see if he is being honest with you) No matter what his answer is, it is always a good idea to get the second opinion, and third and so on if you feel it is necessary!
7. What will the sexual side effects be after a hysterectomy?
8. How long will I be off work after surgery?
9. How long will I be in the hospital?
10. Do you use general anesthesia or a spinal/epidural?
11. How many hysterectomies have you performed? How many have you performed using the technique you plan to use on me?
12. Will I be on a women's care floor or in the surgery unit? (If you are saddened by the fact that you will have no more children the women's care unit can be a hard place to recover)
13. What type of HRT do you recommend for me?
These are some questions, if someone thinks of something that should be added please PM me and I will modify the post.
