Ask A Doctor

I found out this past october i have adenomyosis. I am 21. All treatment options have been unsuccessful. My gynecologist agrees hysterectomy is the only option left. I have two children. I love them to bits but i always wanted a big family. It breaks my heart the option being taken away so early in my life.

No one understands why it hurts so badly. They all say "well at least you have two" as if the pain I'm feeling is silly. It makes me mad and hurt. Their words make me feel guilty about feeling the way i feel. I feel blessed for the kids i have, and i know alot of women can't have any but it still hurts. Does anyone have suggestions?

It's very understandable why you are upset about the loss of your uterus and the ability to have more children. This is a very important time to seek not only a second opinion but a third and fourth as well. Find a specialist whose expertise is in adenomyosis. Every doctor has a level of interest and expertise. Even if you have to travel to meet with a specialist, now is the best time to get input from other surgeons - before you schedule surgery.

Once you have explored all your options, you will be better prepared to make the best health decision for you and your family. Having more information and talking to other experts will help you emotionally, too.

At HysterSisters.com, we have learned that women who are childless grieve and women with children grieve. The loss of the uterus is a part of the decision. Making sure you have all the facts will help you prepare emotionally.
