Question about Hysterectomy
| Wed, 11-05-2008 - 1:38pm |
MY DIL had a hysterectomy yesterday. They used the Laprascope. Her Hemoglobin levels dropped I think they said from 12 to 8. And they mentioned they might have to give her a blood transfusion this afternoon? I'm not sure I understand what this means. I didn't want to ask the kids a bunch of questions and get them upset. Could this be from blood loss during the surgery?
Thanks for any advice!


It's most likely
Hi there,
It sounds like she experienced quite a lot of bleeding during the surgery. Depending on the reasons why she needed the hysterectomy, this isn't too surprising. I suggest you talk to her surgeon or doctor to find out more details so you know what happened.
Thank you both! She is doing better and didn't need the blood. I found out she also had some bladder repair done. I guess from having 4 babies! She's not home yet, as they haven't been able to get her to pee. And she threw up this morning. Poor thing is really having a time of it.
Thanks for all of your info and advice!
