First Period After Open Myomectomy

- In this video I talk about my first menstrual cycle after having an Open Myomectomy. I was really nervous on how my first period would be after fibroid surgery. Is the flow heavier or lighter? Is it super painful or is it painless? Did I have a shorter duration of my period or was it regular like before? I answer all of these questions in this video.

I'm three weeks post surgery, they removed a 5.8 lbs fibroid from me. There was nothing that told me what to expect after surgery. Today is the first day of my period and I'm in so much pain. I came across your video and I'm relieved to find that others went through the same thing. I'm hoping it will get better after today. Thanks for the video.
Hi. My first period was heavy and painful. How was your other periods??
I had my open myomectomy two weeks ago my fibroids were really big 21 by 19 cm and it was fully degenerated since my pregnancy my son is one year old now. I went through degeneration from week 10 pregnancy. Because the fibroid was degenerated and chronically inflamed it was adherent to my intestine and omentum during surgery they had to cut some of the omentum and I had injury to my intestines which needed repair. I am a doctor and fibroids are not an easy thing to go through. I have seen patients that ended up with colostomy bags for life due to fibroids. So for all women who are going through fibroids don't please don't ignore it and take it lightly especially if it increasing in size or you are getting new ones. To all women stay strong and be blessed
Colostomy bag because of fibroids? Omg
Thank you for sharing. I had an open myomectomy last Tuesday and I'm so glad I came across your videos a few days before because they have been very helpful! I pray that things continue to move in the right direction for you!
Thank you so much! I pray your healing and recovery time is quick! Get lots of rest!
Your six days are too much
I truly hope that you're able to have some beautiful babies Sis! I pray that you have the healthiest children! Never give up!
I'm so happy you made this video. I'm on my first period 30 days post open myomectomy. This is the worst pain omg! My lower back feels like it's splitting open. The abdominal cramping is horrible. I'm praying it gets better after this.
How long was your period?.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I need to have this same procedure done for me. I am experiencing painful period dues to my fibroids. So you’re information and personal experience is so valuable to me. Please continue to get better. Have a great day.
You’re so welcome! Sending you positive vibes on your healing journey 💕
Thank you for sharing! My myomectomy was about a month ago and I'm on my first cycle since the surgery. I am having the same experience! The cramps and the literally feeling the uterus contract scared me but I was told I shouldn't worry. On the bright side, my flow is super light which is not how it was before the myomectomy. I'm hopeful it will stay that way. Hope you are feeling better :)
Did you bleed after the surgery?
same. These cramps are off the charts, but the crime scene bleeding is gone!!! 😃
Hay very Van, it's been awhile since I commented on your video, but this was a classic.every woman must watch,!!! Great info everyone,reading the comments.
No let the men stay they need to know what women actually go through
Right!
@Malik Leighton Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
Especially for the ones who want to be women. They have no idea of the period struggles
@@nenecookz927 😂😂😂
Lol
Good to hear from you Vanessa ❤️❤️was operated on 31 march, and I'm still waiting for my cycle, it's even late with 13 days 🙆♀️
That’s not a bad thing! The first one was so bad in terms of Pain for me
It was interesting for me because my period was due the day after surgery and sure enough, it came right after. It was very light, and I didn’t experience much discomfort, surely because of the meds. I got my first real period post surgery this week and boy oh boy the cramps have been rough. My flow has been heavier, but still not comparable to pre-surgery. I’m still optimistic. Looking forward to more improvements. I am also going to change my eating habits and begin healing my body from the inside out. Thanks for your videos. They are always informative and encouraging! ❤️
Did you fibroids come back? Are you periods better now?
@@clarissaann6742 to my knowledge, no. It’s 4 months post surgery for me. My periods are technically heavy I guess, but nothing like before. I’m seeing small improvements each cycle.
@@chariluv007 hii@chariluv Before 2 months I undergo myectomy surgery. And after that my periods is not coming. It's been 2 months over when my periods is not coming. I am so much worried. Plzz suggest do you experience same??
@@nishayadav545 hi there. I’d contact your doctor just to be safe. I have not had that experience but surely other women have. Good luck to you! ❤️
I just had my surgery 12/6. I’m on my first period after surgery and it’s still horrible just as before. I’m very discouraged. Has your gotten better?
Everytime it feels so good to see you🥰 good luck to the Queen
You are amazing. Praying for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing. I have to have an myomectomy to remove 3 fibroids. I’ve had two miscarriages within the last two years because of them. I’ve never had very long cycles. They used to be 3-4 days but now it’s 5-6 days and my cramps are sooooo bad. This is very helpful.
Oh my! Thanks for sharing. My surgeon didn't tell me what to expect. I was afraid I had appendicitis or something. I have never thrown up on my period pre-surgery but my first period post-op, I threw up and had to use narcotics which I never needed. I was glued to the bed crying for my life.
Thank you for sharing! I just had my myomechtomy 5 days ago and I started my period day 3 post op and it has been absolutely horrible!!! Worse than the pain from the surgery itself. I didn’t even need the narcotics until today. I just took my first half of a Percocet because the pain is so excruciating. Up until now, I’ve only been taking ibuprofen, an antibiotic, and a muscle relaxer. Thank you for sharing, I was really thinking that maybe I over did myself or something.
Girl that first period is NO joke but it does get better after that! Once your cycle ends you should be good to go from here. Continue to rest!
It's been 3 weeks Since my myomectomy, I feel great! ...I had my first period a few days after my myomectomy and I was fine...it wasn't heavy No pain, not heavy, just regular...I guess I got lucky
That's great!
Size of your fibroid pls
@@feelthemagicinsideyou2460 I had TEN fibroids of various sizes, removed. The biggest one the size of a large grapefruit.
@@emerald_skai205
TEN 😮 How is your health now?
Married?
Babies?
@@feelthemagicinsideyou2460 I mean, I'm really healthy otherwise, no underlying health issues , in shape and never had kids. So mabye that's part of why my recovery went so well, I'm a person who works out 3-4 times a week at the gym also... its been 5 months post-sugery and other than occasional bloating and an ugly scar (from the surgery) I feel 👍 great...no complaints physically
I am looking forward to hearing the good news that you are pregnant. God Bless
Thank you for sharing this.. i really can relate..👏🏻🤩 this is what exactly how i feel.. i got my period on 25th day after my surgery.. and yeah its quite painful this time 😢
Glad you push through that pain and looking vibrant.. Vanessa, once u did the myomectomy they have to remove the things that they put it to block the blood flow from the ufe? Asking for myself. Just curious to see if ufe can be reversible.😊
Thanks love! I’m not sure about that honestly.
@@veryvanessa oh ok
Fantastic video! Everything we need is already there - in nature :) Keep it up!
I had ufe 2-2021. Landed in the ER 3-2021 due to severe pelvic pain. They sent me home with pain killers. Had a 4 month post op MRI and found out that a fibroid that was originally on the exterior of my uterus had now fallen into the uteran cavity and is now blocking both Fallopian tubes :0(
Am final a mother today , because of fibroids my tubes was block for 6years I and my husband was having issue because of my situation no child when I was Searching online on UA-cam about fibroids I saw a testimony about him so I write him and place order for his herbal today I have 2weeks old baby now he can help you too Herb's work like magic..
My surgery was almost two weeks ago and these cramps are probably worse than pre-surgery… oh my god! And I got an IUD placed. My doctor could not see one of the fibroids and decided to leave it… I find it hard to believe one fibroid is wreaking this much havoc… and the bleeding is much heavier than I expected. You’ve got to be kidding me!
Missing you Vanessa 💕💕💕💕🤗
I had my surgery July 1st & had my first period on 7/17, so I’m on my 6th day. It’s been extremely heavy & somewhat painful, but Tylenol has been helping. I hope my following periods are better.
I felt the same way you do,sometimes people asked "do you have Kid" on my God,mother's day i am embarrassed but I have faith.i told them when asked nor yet am working on it but deep down it hurts
I just say, “When God decides.” People can be really insensitive to these kind of things.
Hi, do you have an update for us? I had a UFE in November but I still have a very large fibroid and I’m considering having a myomectomy.
Hi yes I will be updating soon with a new video.
I had my surgery on May 31st. The first day light spotting and the days after spotting here and there, going into the 2 week heavier bleeding. I'm thinking my cycle started 2 days early, but I'm so tired of bleeding. I'm already anemic and this bleeding is a nightmare. So ready to heal, that was the whole point of the surgery 😫😔.
The first cycle was the worst for me. It did get better after about 2 cycles. Try to eat as clean as you can avoid dairy and meat if possible. Lots of water and rest. The uterus takes some time to heal. You could also drink some red raspberry leaf tea to help the uterus heal as well. Hope you feel better soon 💛
How long is it normal to be late after Myomectomy? Thanks for the information. God bless
I got my first period 27 days post op (mot checking the bleeding after surgery) it was light , lasted for 4 days. I'm on zoladex that's supposed to be suppressing the estrogen hormone.
41 days from my first period comes my second. Cramping, heavier bleeding pre ope. Passing small clots. Currently monitoring as I am on y second day
Hi! I am one month post op myomectomy surgery and got my period two days ago. It seems to be heavier than before the surgery (but then again I never had heavy bleeding) but I am attributing this to my uterus still trying to heal. I am curious to see how long it will last though and how subsequent periods will be (regarding flow) thereafter.
I'm 2 and half weeks post op and got my first period since the surgery yesterday - I have a high tolerance for pain but TRUST me the back pain and cramps feels like the someone maxed the pain dial! I too attributed the pain to the fact that my uterus is still healing and apparently, your uterus takes a month to a month and a half (4-6 weeks) to fully heal. According to my doctor, the first two periods after a myomectomy may be more painful and more heavy than before but the third onwards should be shorter and pain free.
@@nelle541 yes that First period was no bueno. I was put on Norethindrone tablets and havent had a period since! Its the best feeling ever!!!! I hope your healing well and this too shall pass!
@@latoyajones8463 Thanks so much!
I just had an open myomectomy a week ago and omg the pain is horrible I’m bleeding but not very heavy but today day 6 I had a medium size clot is that normal. I only had 1 fibroid 10 cm.
For mine it is 8cm🙄
I'm 2wks post op. I was on my cycle during op. It was terrible. I wouldn't wish that pain on a person I hated. I olny took oxy 3 days once a day. They are awful & gave me crazy nightmares. 600mg ibuprofen was fine. If the fibroids come back, everything must go!
I am experiencing my first period post open myomectomy! It’s horrible- the cramps I’m experiencing are sharp and prickly feeling. I had my surgery the day before my period was due to start and I had some moderate bleeding the first 6 days post op. This is now 30 days post op and right on queue my period came.
I am struggling- have been very tempted to take one of the narcotics they prescribed because I only took 3 days worth right after my procedure then switched to alternating ibuprofen and Tylenol but I’ve been baring the pain because I hate how narcotics make me feel. I’m praying this isn’t going to be a regular occurrence and it’s just because it’s my first period post op.
The first one is the worst! If you need to take the pain pill, take it. I remember it was very painful for me. I too had weaned myself off of the meds very early post surgery then my period came and I had no choice. Remember your uterus is still healing and when you’re on your cycle your uterus contracts to expel old blood. It does get better after this!
@@veryvanessa Thank you for sharing! I’m hopeful knowing so many strong women like yourself are out there and have experienced this and that is does get better. I had a 13cm subserosal fibroid removed on 11/28 and I just turned 28. So seeing how other women have persevered and went on to have babies is giving me the strength to push through and get my body back to healthy so I can try to conceive maybe at the end of 2023. Glory to God because he has gotten me this far and I know my future has already been written in his plans.
Praying you have a fast recovery and a healthy womb to receive your blessing! 💛🙏🏾
Vanessa! I recently came across your channel and I’m obsessed, I love watching beautiful young women like you educating others on REAL health! I remember you said you’re Haitian, I think it would be really interesting if you filmed a recipe making a traditional Haitian dish, but alkaline vegan? 😊 that would be so cool. And also do you have Instagram?
Have a great day 🥰🌸🌻☀️
Hi! i am on my 3rd day of menstruation. I had an open myomectomy last Dec. 3.
Dang girl. This period is heavy and painful. I can feel the blood gushing down there. I thought it will not be heavy at first since I got my uterus opened... But it wasn't. This is heavy.
I don't wear regular size pads. I wear overnight pads since my period is always heavy. 🥺
Did it improve?
I got my first period 27 days post op (mot checking the bleeding after surgery) it was light , lasted for 4 days. I'm on zoladex that's supposed to be suppressing the estrogen hormone.
41 days from my first period comes my second. Cramping, heavier bleeding pre ope. Passing small clots. Currently monitoring as I am on y second day
Currently documenting on my channel
I had my surgery 11/11/22 which they removed 25 fibroids, my first period came when it was suppose to come which was 11/18/22, now I’m at 5 weeks after surgery and my cycle came on it’s due date which was 12/14/22 and let me tell you this period have me wondering if there is any fibroids left because the way I’m bleeding it’s insane. The first cycle after surgery was light and a lot of cramping but this one is very heavy and painful . Hopefully my next cycle will be a little better .
The first few cycles can vary in flow and pain while the uterus heals. Try drinking more water before and during your cycle. Also replenish your iron and blood loss with sea moss. Hope you feel better as you recover!
@@veryvanessa thank you!! I will get some iron pills. All I drink is water I don’t do juice or soda and I drink a lot of water so I will definitely look into getting some iron pills . Thanks
I had a vaginal myomectomy last week Wednesday. My period came 4 days later and it's somewhat heavy. So I'm on day 4 now. I was thinking that since the fibroid has been removed that my period would be better.
I woke up with sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I'm still taking pain meds and antibiotics.
I had mines 12/6 I’m on my cycle now and it’s still horrifying.
It will be better , give it .. atleast 3 cycles , give ur body/uterus time to heal from the trauma, my first cycle was heavy lasted 5 days , second , heavier lasted 5days with 2days spotting and 2 days brown discharge so technically 9days , 5days later I’m wiping blood (spotting) really light when I use the restroom… so yeah 🤞🏾 hopefully it is part of the healing process .
Am finally a mother today , because of fibroids my tubes was block for 6years I and my husband was having issue because of my situation no child when I was Searching online on UA-cam about fibroids I saw a testimony about dr Omo so I write him and place order for his herbal today I have 2weeks old baby now he can help you too Herb's work like magic. Both on infertility x
Thanks for the video. Your doctor didn’t put you on birth control to give your uterus some healing time before having a period?
No not for this surgery
I just started my period Exactly 4weeks post op. Open myomectomy. A lot of pain. A lot of blood clots. I've been taking ibroprophen. Fell asleep on the sofa and woke up soaked in a clear liquid. Idk what it is. It was more liquid than blood. We will see how the rest of these days go.
If it makes you feel any better the first period is the worst! It does get better after this 💛
Hello..I have done my open myomectomy on 9th Dec 2022. After that doctor given oc pills for 21 days. After taking that pills I had period on 4th January. The flow was not too heavy like before but till date my period is going on. I just don't know what to do.I am very scared
The first few cycles are irregular after surgery. I hope your cycles remain light!
Did you bleed after the surgery?
i had my period the week before my surgery and it stopped on a Monday and I had the surgery on that Wednesday. Wednesday immediately after the surgery on the way home I started bleeding and have been spotting since so roughly 8 days now.
How will I know my next period ?
My periods are normally regular 25/26 days
I don’t remember bleeding fully. Spotting here and there. But when my cycle came on it was ROUGH. I think the spotting is to be expected because of the work that was done within your uterus. As long as it’s not foul smelling or accompanied with severe pain you should be ok. When are you following up with your doctor for your post op check?
@@veryvanessa yes I didn’t bleed fully just the first night just spotting. I go for my post op Thursday which will be the 2 week mark. But prior to my surgery I was TTC for like 3 months and just trying to figure out how soon I can get pregnant. So i did an ovulation test this morning and i got my first positive which I was surprised because of the spotting I’m just so confused a little
That’s good! Remember when you’re ovulating your uterus contracts a bit so that could be why you’re seeing some spotting. You can technically conceive anytime but definitely go with what your doctor recommends as far as waiting for your uterus to heal. My doctor told us to wait 3 months before trying
Very good video. My wife went open myomectomy on 1 dec 2021
I have four subserosal fibroids. Largest is 10cm in posterior wall. Two are on 7cm and 5cm. the top of uterus . I am single. But want to have kids after marriage. What do you suggest. Ufe or myomectomy
Try to naturally conceive first before considering surgery. Let surgery be the last option. Myomectomy over UFE for child bearing purposes
Myomectomy not ufe
My period is 5 days away post op, and the first thing I noticed is the discoloration of my feet. 😢😢 I'm prepping for this first period, heavy!
Thanks for sharing..I am on my first period after my myomectomy and the pain is the worst thing ever..I am having serious pain and vomiting 🤢
I hope you're feeling better 💛
i feel so bad that sounds terrible, i get painful periods in general i, dreading the op ekk
I had my surgery on the 15th of April of this year I have not had my first cycle yet I'm actually two days late so I don't actually know what my first. Is going to be and I had 28 fibroids removed from my uterus
Omg love 😨 I hope it comes late. Mine came 10 days post op and I think it hurt so bad bc I was so fresh from surgery
@@veryvanessa I was on my cycle when I had my surgery
Ah ok! You should be ok for your next cycle. Still may need to take some Ibuprofen. How are you feeling?
@@veryvanessa I still get pain near my incision I'm still having issues with regulating my bowel movements I'm still getting fatigued very quickly but other than that I am okay. Thank you for asking I hope everything is going well with you
Did your period came my dear ? How many days were you late ? and how are you doing now ? God bless
Holy poly I'm dreading this, my periods are 7/8 days after surgery. I hope my pain killers work
Please help! I had my open myomectomy about three weeks ago and my period has been late for three days now. I have serious PMS symptoms but no blood flow at all. Is this normal please?
Sometimes the stress of surgery on your body can throw your hormones off and make your cycle come late or early
@@veryvanessaoh ok!. thanks alot Vanessa and for your prompt response. I am grateful.
@@theOjonstv you’re welcome! Feel better 💛
Can you update us now?
I’m on my first period one month later from my open myomectomy surgery. It is the heaviest and most bloodiest mess. I truly want to stop bleeding
Oh I’m so sorry you went through that. How long did it take for your bleeding to stop?
Sorry Marie hope you’re feeling a better now. Every day you’re getting stronger ❤️🩹💪
I am going through the same thing. It's been 5 days of bleeding. How long did your bleeding stop?
Me to I'm only used to bleeding during my cycle. Since my surgery it seems like everyday and I'm already on iron pills 😔. I'm ready to heal so it can stop.
Hope things are well One year update?
Hello! I recently posted a 6 month update. Will be posting another update soon.
I had this procedure done as well for my fibroids, one year later to be exact fibroids returned.. 😩😩😩
I’m so sorry this happened hun 💔
Dear change your diet , food is very important to avoid them to come back , try to avoid processed food carbs white flours sugar red meat and alcohol. If they are still small you can fight it with green juices but mostly veggies like kale cucumber spinach berries , avoid fruits that are higher in carbs and sugar . Eat more veggies . God bless
Have you had your estrogen levels checked?
Wht is the size of your fibroid.
Did you checked.
If it is small you can cure it by medecins and especially did you know banana flower (I am sorry if I am mentioning incorrect) make a juice of tat flower add curd and salt and have it weekly 3times.
Ia pretty sure you will get reduce tat fibroid.
Pls do it.
Actually wen you done this procedure.
Wht was the size of fibrosis
I got my surgery 3 weeks ago. My cycle is late by one day so far. My pain is under my belly button all the way to my pelvic. I use ice pack and Ibuprofen for the pain.
Always constipated before and after surgery.
My job requires me to stand 12 hrs every night. I don’t know how am going to get back to work in two weeks. I can get more time off but the bills won’t wait
Thank you for this video ❤️👋
And how you now🙁 how is your health condition now.
did you get back to your work.
Pls reply 🙏
@@feelthemagicinsideyou2460 hi, I am so much better now. Am back to work. My period is definitely irregular now and shorter2 days top with plenty cramps. I am glad I had the surgery. I am not miserable anymore carrying those 18 fibroids. I thank God for women like you who are brave enough to talk about it so women like me can have the strength to say no to suffering.
Thank you for checking on me.
I am working for a different company now. 🙂

Good j👍
After how many days after open myomectomy periods come plz reply
It depends on your natural cycle. Myomectomy will not cause your cycle to change
Im experiencing my first period after 17 days post-up its very heavy
I’m sorry dear. It does get lighter each month. The first one is typically the worst since you’re so fresh from surgery! I hope you start feeling better soon ♥️
@@veryvanessa im an anxious person im afraid i said maybe there is something wrong with my operation
How heavy is the bleed? Are you going through a pad in an hr? If concerned definitely call your doctors office and let them know
Lucky you. Mine came back heavy with a bad pain. I think it was my left ovary because the pain was in my lower left back. I had to take the narcotics to help. One of the worst periods in my life.
I scheduled my surgery 3 days after my period so my first period was 2 and half weeks post op. Didn't want to deal with surgery pain plus period cramps.
I had severe pain too hun. Hope you’re feeling better 💛
You look happier...
Thank you!
Did you wear catheter after the operation
Yes x 24 hrs. It was removed the next morning
@@veryvanessa my uterus is measuring 11.1 x 7.8 x 8.6 cm its large i was thinking if they removed the fibroids it does mean my uterus will shrink too i mean because now im in catheter because i cant pee my uterus is pushing my bladder im not having a surgery yet im gonna see my gynecologist next week...and hope as soon as possible to have a surgery... thats why i ask if i can pee normally after few days of surgery ..
@@irenerivera1655 yes my uterus was also enlarged to a 3 month pregnancy with fibroids before surgery. After surgery my uterus is now a normal size and I don’t have any bladder pressure or pelvic pain like before.
@@veryvanessa Praise God...
Men need education too
Somebody lost weight... Still beautiful though!
I don’t know why men should not view this because it is a woman stuff? They should know about out issues! I honestly don’t agree with this comment.
