Can you sue if you get fibroids on Both Ovaries after a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy?
Question: Can you sue if you get fibroids on Both Ovaries after a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy?
My mother had a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Attensive Lysis of Abdominal and Pelvic Adhesions five years ago.
The surgeon told her that she had Total Hysterectomy. Today she called the hospital that has records of only the type of surgery she had – which is when she found out that she had a “Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Attensive Lysis of Abdominal and Pelvic Adhesions”.
My mother thought for sure that the Surgeon was removing Everything (he said the words “I had to remove Everything” out of his mouth.) – Ovaries, Fallopian Tubes, Uterus and the Cervix. But to her discovery, her recent doctor told her that she has Both ovaries and fallopian tubes, only her Uterus was removed.
My mother went to this recent doctor due to the fact that she’s have severe pain in her abdominal and lower back area
The recent doctor told her that she has Fibroid Cysts on BOTH of her Ovaries – they’re both about Four Centimeters large in size.
Also, because of her thinking that her ovaries were removed, she’s told other doctors about this. This lead to doctors telling her to take Estrogen.
The fact that her Own ovaries have been producing Estrogen themselves and her taking much additional Estrogen for over Four years can cause a higher risk for her to develop Cancer. – This is what Frightens me more than Anything.
Could this possibly be a law suit case? Can you sue if you get fibroids on Both Ovaries after a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy?

I doubt it your mother misunderstood and should have clarified what a total hysterectomy means. It just means that the Cervix was removed with the Uterus. She wrongly reported to future doctors about the ovaries and should have left it to her medical records to tell them about the procedure as she didn’t understand what she was reporting.
