Fenton’s Procedure

1 reply

I had a Fenton’s Procedure 3 months ago and it has been the worst decision of my life. The Gynae team made out it was straightforward but no mention of the possible horrendous implications. Since my op I have had numerous infections, (so lots of grim anti biotics) my stitches burst and there is a section which still hasn’t healed 12 weeks on. I have bleeding from the wound and I can’t see an end to it. I have been so traumatised, I have had to see a counsellor and have felt suicidal at times. Had I been made more aware of the possible risks, there is no way I would’ve put myself and my family through this. I know I have to be patient but suggest you really think about this op before you embark. Talk to professionals, ( my GP admitted that she wouldn’t normally recommend some of the Gynae procedures) friends and family beforehand.

I'm so sorry. Flowers

Keep hoping. A close friend was similarly injured and traumatised. I won't pretend recovery was quick, but it was full. After counselling and full physical healing she went on to have second child, born at home, and a very happy, fully healed life.
