Hysterectomy

[Maruschke]

I bet you do

Thanks It feels like part of my womanhood.

Oh wow I understand why that is hard to process! Sorry I don't have anything useful to say except hugs!! xx

I would be getting another opinion from somewhere else as well. From what I know (not much so feel free to ignore me, lol) it has an impact on so many things. My Mum has bad endo and although she's way past having kids now she has still done anything at all to avoid a hysterectomy.

I don't know much about the impact. I know that Drs swear that surgical hysterectomy doesn't cause any hormonal changes but the word on the street from women who have BTDT suggests otherwise.

I would get a 3rd opinion. I can ask some of the gyneas at work if a hysterectomy is common treatment. I have a cystocele it's currently driving me insane (need to pee a lot but cant go and the same DTD) that alone is horrible you poor thing (hugs)

Sorry to hear about your cystocele. Can they treat yours with a ring? xoxo

My mum had a hysterectomy in her early 40's for different reasons to you. She still has her ovaries and cervix, she hasn't experienced any hormonal changes and says it was the best thing she ever did.

No apparently not as it extends a large percentage of the anterior vaginal wall. I'm currently having investigations for pelvic pain and they were considering some mesh thing I haven't looked into yet. I guess its like an anterior repair. The pain had taken priority over my frequency at the moment but I'll have to get onto it again as DTD is becoming painful also
