I honestly don’t know as never had one, but it is a big operation to have at any age. I had a big op at 70 which took me a long time to get over. I think you should talk it through well with your doctor and get him to advise you of the effects after the operation. Good luck whatever you decide.

Hi I wondered if anyone had experienced a hysterectomy in their 70s? I'm 71 and have just been told I need a hysterectomy + bladder repair (stage 3 uterine prolapse +stage 2 bladder and stage 1 bowel) but had a shelf peccary fitted a few days ago which seems to be helping ??. Would others go for hysterectomy now (probably a waiting list anyway) rather than continue with peccary and perhaps need op in 80s? I'd really welcome hearing opinions as rather daunted by idea of hysterectomy. Thanks ?
