Jenna Jameson Surgery...

Contributor: Gary Gary
I was just reading about how Jenna Jameson recently had a surgery to remove two ectopic pregnancies, and a fetus from her uterus. She apparently shared this with the world via Twitter.

I'm glad she got through the surgery okay. I can't imagine what she must be feeling.

She's very lucky that she's ok, ectopic pregnancies are quite dangerous. She must have been shocked and scared - I feel so bad for her going through this. Hopefully the media is respectful of her privacy.

I have a feeling if she was really worried about privacy, she probably wouldn't be Tweeting about it.

All I can think of is gross. The main reason for ectopic pregnancies is scarring of the fallopian tubes by repeated sexually transmitted diseases-the most common offender dor PID being chlamydia, gonorrhea and trich can also scar pretty badly as well, but chlamydia is the number one cause. She must have had unprotected sex and not enough pap smears (they culture the flora). Maybe her partners did not get treated and reinfected her. Besides ectopic pregnancies and PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) chlamydia and friends can cause TOA,(tubal ovarian abcess(es) which again lead to ectopic pregnancies or intense pain.

Sperm is a fantastic vehicle for thr transmission of disease.

Why a person would share this on Twitter is beyond me. It's like telling the world that you are a pool of toxic waste inside.

Its like Pamela Anderson telling the world about her sexually transmitted hepatitis status. It makes them even less attractive.

I don't see how it's so bad to share. Angie Jackson shared about her abortion on Twitter. I think it's fine to talk about experiences other women may be having and it doesn't make her gross at all.

I thought ectopic pregnancies could happen just on accident as well? I think if it helps her to share then she should share. Its probably hard to go through, even if she has to put on a happy face for everyone.

I think I would be sad if something like that happened to me and people assumed it was because I had lots of stds.. I know shes a porn star, but shes still a human being. So, even if that is the cause, she deserves respect

I think that people like to find that celebrities are human beings too, and obviously this happens to people every day. While people may not agree with her sharing it, I think that using Twitter for those kinds of things is interesting, and I hope that it helped someone, somewhere.

I just read that she also had a vaginoplasty.

Interesting that you say that the main reason for ectopic pregnancies is from repeated STD's.

I had an ectopic pregnancy which was caused by an ovarian cyst. My doctor told me that was the most common reason for them. I have never had an STD. But I did get ovarian cysts quite often.

And I'm glad to hear she was ok. That is not a pleasant surgery to go through.

My question was why was a fetus removed from the uterus? I'm guessing there were most likely complications, but she could have clarified a bit.

I hope she's recovering from the surgery well, that's a hell of a lot for a gal to have to go through, and scary, too.

Don't quote me on this, but if I remember correctly it wouldn't be safe to carry a "normal" pregnancy to term while recovering from the removal of the ectopic pregnancies. I think it has to do with the pressure the expanding uterus would put on the healing incisions and such, but I'm not positive. Hopefully someone with more OB/GYN knowledge or personal experience will step forward to answer this one!

Its not common for ovarian cysts to cause ectopic pregnancy but very possible. Every woman gets cysts. There are many types, some come and go, some never go. Some are fluid filled, some make hormones, some actually have remnants of teeth, hair and bone in them (dermoid).

The main cause of ectopics pregnancy is, however, scarred tubes from infections.

Depends on how far along she was, if the fetus was an intrauterine death, etc. Some choose to "remove" a fetus because of anomalies.

Ok, thanks. Both explanations made more sense. I was just pretty confused.

Another risk, less common, for ectopic prenancies is using fertility hormones and carrying multiples, which was most probably the case here. Nothing gross.

A lot of celebrities tend to go through fertility treatments to have their kids with the minimal number of pregnancies. Why do you think there are so many twins out there?

The way multiples and infertility is treated in most infertility and invivo and invitro centers is to create ovarian hyperstimulation, harvest a number of eggs, and then implant them in the uterus. The tubes are bypassed, the already fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus. Virtually no risk of ectopic pregnancy unlike the fertility drugs used in the sixties and seventies (many were banned because of serious birth defects, like hands attached directly to shoulders as in the case of thalidomide babies. Or DES babies who wound up getting reproductive cancers. Sometimes too many eggs are sucessful and the woman opts for "reduction surgery" so she's not an "Octomom". Most times a few eggs die and are absorbed.

Unfortunately, not all ectopic pregnancies are because of unprotected sex/STDs. You have a right to your opinion, of course, but Just because one is a porn star or a sex symbol doesn't mean that they are to blame, which is how I read the undertone of your post. They choose to do what they do, and I think it's pretty sad that you refer to them as a "pool of toxic waste inside".

Maybe I take offense to this because I too suffer from an STD. In no way was I considered promiscuous, or "slutty", and I practiced safe sex. I'm no sess pool or disgusting thing that should be looked down upon.

I don't think "stars" share these sorts of things with the world to make them less attactive or seem "slutty", but to share their pains and woes with the world, making them seem more human/real, and to bring light to things that people usually keep hush-hush. Bringing it to the front can add attention and more research to find ways to prevent and cure things.

I find it disgusting that on a sex positive site like this that you would hold this view and share it so freely without any shame. Porn actresses are still people and are not dirty and diseased just because of their chosen job.

Jenna has struggled for over a decade to conceive and this is a huge tragedy to go through, I find it horrible that you feel its alright to belittle her and put blame on her and her career for this.
