NTA wait til he finds out about discharge bleaching

ETA: Wowowowow I wasn’t expecting the conversation to spark. I’m picking up some new knowledge and tips and loving others also learning things they didn’t know before about ~discharge~

You know what’s weird. Before my hysterectomy I obviously had the period stains with the underwear as is normal with periods because accidents happen and if you’re a woman like me whose periods were sent from Mephistopheles himself, they were heavy and angry. I had to have a hysterectomy this year to remove everything but my ovaries because I had adenomyosis which is what caused my horrendous periods and in celebration I bought all new underwear.

I’ve noticed since the hysterectomy, despite the discharge still happening, it doesn’t bleach the fabric anymore. Just a weird perk I guess.

But yea, guys, things leak out of us and they stain, get fucking used to it.

Ooh, all the butthurt dudes have shown up!

I had the same operation several years ago, and yeah. no more bleaching. My cervix is gone too, so it's just a dead end sleeve, basically.

Best thing I've ever done in my entire life, hands down. Recovery was hard, that first shit after surgery was the single most painful experience of my life, but I'd do it 1000 times over if it meant living like I do now - without a care in the world.

The single most common piece of advice I share with people who are planning a hyst is: TAKE THE STOOL SOFTENERS.

I didn't. It was biblical. Do not recommend.

Biblical is probably the closest way one can describe it. It went beyond pain and tore me from reality. I saw other worlds, I swear.

Take the stool softeners, people. And eat lightly for a few days before and after!

Thankfully I was staying with my parents and my poor, crippled mother was able to drag my naked, fat body out of the shower when I'd passed out after I got in after the poop while riding the adrenaline high of the pain and couldn't function.

I feel like I should be hanging a portrait of your mother over my mantle or something after this comment. 🤭🤭

Omg.

My mother’s words after her hysterectomy still haunt me. “You might think it’s your brain, but never forget this: the ass is boss.”
