What to Expect

Before you see your health care provider, learn more about this procedure, treatment or test. Remember that individual treatment plans and patient experiences may vary. This information is provided to help you understand what may happen during your visit or treatment.

About this Procedure

Your health care provider will perform a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. You may have one of these tests to help diagnose the disease:

  • Transvaginal ultrasound
  • Pelvic laparoscopy
  • Your doctor may recommend surgery if you have severe pain that does not get better with other treatments. 
  • Laparoscopy helps diagnose the disease and can also remove growths and scar tissue. Because only a small cut is made in your belly, you will heal faster than other types of surgery.
  • Laparotomy involves making a large incision (cut) in your belly to remove growths and scar tissue. This is major surgery, so healing takes longer.
  • Laparoscopy or laparotomy may be a good option if you want to become pregnant, because they treat the disease and leave your organs in place.
  • Hysterectomy is surgery to remove all or part of your uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. If your ovaries are not removed, symptoms may return. You would only have this surgery if you have severe symptoms and do not want to have children in the future.

How to Prepare

Sometimes there are things you can do that may positively affect your outcome. Here are some examples. Be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your provider.

On the Day of the Procedure

  • You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs like these.
  • If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor or nurse for help quitting.
  • You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for 8 hours before the surgery.
  • Take any medicines your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.

What to Ask

To get the best quality of care, be informed! Don’t be afraid to ask for a clearer explanation or to ask questions. Consider these topics when talking with your provider.

Questions to Ask Your Provider

  • What medications can I still take on the day of my surgery? 
  • What risks are associated with this surgery?
  • What changes might I see with my body after the surgery? 
  • If I have my ovaries removed what treatments are there for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms?
  • What are the pros and cons of each?
