When is it time to have a hysterectomy?
Hi, Ladies,
So sorry about having trouble deciding on whether or not a hysterectomy is right for you. Just research it, talk with your doctor/husband or significiant other/family,think about how it'll affect your life and make your decision - it's yours to make. I did, and felt,oh, so much better. I had a tah,bso in July,2002,no cervix either. I still enjoy sex,no problems there . I was glad to have it done, had history of endo for over 20 yrs, infertility (got to adopt dd,though), so I knew I'd probably face this someday. I was glad to have cervix and both ovaries out as well, but I had endo on them anyway. I'll be thinking of both of you as you face this decision process, which isn't easy. Do what's best for your quality of life - mine has improved alot . God bless, let us know what you decide. You can always get more than one or two opinions as well, and find a doctor you trust and can talk to,feel comfortable with, as that's very important as you deal with preop and postop issues.

When is it time to have a hysterectomy?
Thanks for your reply. My husband and I spoke with my doctor this week and have gotten a lot of questions answered. It's time for me to have the hysterectomy and I'm happy with my decision. We are tentative on a day in April. The more I think about the surgery the more sure I am of my decision.
I think you just "know" inside when it is time and my time has come.
Thanks for your thoughts and help.

Dear RFC,
I'm glad you've come to a decision, talking to your doctor and husband. I know this is a difficult decision to come to, as it's so life=changing and you're so young. It wasn't as difficult for me, as I'm older than you are, never able to have children(did get to adopt daughter when she was one, she's our gift from God), and my female organs caused me alot of pain, although I minimized it and rationalized it, but began to see it wasn't normal. It had changed, then I sought an opinion, and came to the realization that I had problems that couldn't be solved without surgery. I'll be praying for you, praying that you have a peace with your decision, that you're mentally,physically,emotionally,spiritually ready for the surgery and that the time will pass quickly for you. The waiting is definitely hard and tedious, so pamper yourself now, do nice things for yourself. God bless, be praying for you. Keep us posted when you get a date. Take care. Post often, we care about you. Come into chat, sometime, it's lots of fun.
