Unable to do CKC and now most likely need a hysterectomy
Hi. I feel like I still haven’t fully processed this and am still kind of going through the trauma of everything but long story short, I have CIN 3 cells. I was scheduled for a CKC last Tuesday but when I woke up, my doctor told me they were unable to do the procedure because my cervix had become flush with my vaginal canal and there wasn’t enough to do the procedure. Instead, they simply did a colposcopy. They told me that I most likely need a hysterectomy in order to make sure it doesn’t progress to cervical cancer since they cannot remove the cells through a CKC or a LEEP.
While I was trying to process that I started bleeding through my pads every 10-15 minutes. They tried to give me a clotting medication to stop the bleeding but I ended up back in the OR because the medication did not work.
I was admitted overnight so they could monitor me and make sure the bleeding had completely stopped. I’m now being referred to a hematologist because my doctors are worried I will bleed out during my hysterectomy. I also have a history of hemorrhages after both of my c sections that required blood transfusions. I got out of this one with only needing iron.
Honestly I’m really scared. I haven’t really fully processed the idea of needing a hysterectomy. I know that I do not want more children but it feels like the choice is being taken away from me because what if I had changed my mind in a year or so? Now I won’t be able to change my mind. And I’m so sad.
I was already so stressed about the CKC but I was hoping it would work and everything would be behind me. Instead lol a super simple procedure turned into this giant mess and now I am going to lose my uterus.
I guess I’m just looking to hear from others who have had to go through something like this. Or words of support from others who people.
