Vordering!

Ek kon uiteindelik 'n afspraak maak vir volgende Dinsdag!! Ek moet hulle Maandag bel om tyd te bevestig, so ek sal Maandag laat weet presies hoe laat julle moet bid :)  Ek het al nagmerrie stories gehoor van dokters (in SA) wat perongeluk vrouens se baarmoeders raakgesny het en onmiddelike histerektomie moes doen, so ek is bietjie bang, maar oor die algemeen is dit nie te erg nie so ek behoort fine te wees.  Dr Volschenk is een van die beste in dit wat hy doen en ek vertrou hy sal versigtig wees.   Ek gaan vir so drie dae buite aksie wees... weet nog nie wat ek met myself gaan aanvang nie so kuiers is meer as welkom ;)

Hier is bietjie meer oor die twee prosedures wat ek gaan naslaan het:

Histeroskopie:
A hysteroscopy is a way for your doctor to look at the lining of your uterus. He or she uses a thin viewing tool called a hysteroscope. The tip of the hysteroscope is put into your vagina and gently moved through the cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope has a light and camera hooked to it so your doctor can see the lining (endometrium) on a video screen.

A hysteroscopy may be done to find the cause of abnormal bleeding or bleeding that occurs after a woman has passed menopause. It also may be done to see if a problem in your uterus is preventing you from becoming pregnant (infertility). A hysteroscopy can be used to remove growths in the uterus, such as fibroids or polyps.

Your doctor may take a small sample of tissue (biopsy). The sample is looked at under a microscope for problems. Another surgery, called a laparoscopy, may also be done at the same time as a hysteroscopy if infertility is a problem.

Laparoskopie:
Laparoscopy is a surgical technique in which a lighted viewing instrument (laparoscope) is inserted into the lower abdomen through a small incision, usually made below the navel. The abdomen is inflated with gas injected through a needle, which pushes the wall of the abdomen away from the organs so the doctor can see them more clearly.

Laparoscopy may be used for both diagnosis and treatment. Incisions may be made so that other instruments, such as cutting devices or lasers, can be inserted to treat certain problems. With laparoscopy, the doctor can identify diseased organs, take tissue samples for biopsy, and remove abnormal growths.

Laparoscopy may allow a person to avoid more invasive open surgery that uses larger incisions. Compared to open surgery, it leaves smaller scars, is often less risky, and usually requires a shorter recovery period.

Laparoscopy is often used to diagnose and treat problems in the female reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, infertility, or tubal pregnancy. Tubal ligation (female sterilization) can also be done with laparoscopic surgery.
So basies gaan hulle kyk of hulle enige endometriose sien, dit verwyder as daar wel endometriose is, en enige moontlike poliepe of fibroids sal ook verwyder word en biopsies word gedoen om enige ander probleme wat daar mag wees te identifiseer. 

Dankie weereens vir julle gebede en ondersteuning... dis 'n moeilike paadjie om alleen te loop!

Liefde
