Hysterectomy Or Not Posted: 06-20-05 12:02pm
I have a decision to make and I don't know
what to do. I have painful periods every
month and had a laparoscope to find out
was wrong. The dr removed a cyst the
size of a golf ball from my left ovary.
She also did a dnc. I started my cycle
on june 14th, 2 weeks after the surgury.
Had pain and lots of it. Now she says
that I can go on birthcontrol to help
withe bleeding that is also very bad when
my cycle hits. But blood clots run in my
family so birth control is not happening.
Said something about makeing a decision
to either have my ovaries removed or a
hysterectomy. The doctor said there is
no other 'guantee' of the pain stopping
other than that. I am so confused. I
have a 4 year old, not planning on having
anymore, but I do not know what to do

If you decide to have a hysterectomy keep
your overies!
I don't know your age but I had mine
removed at 41 and have had to deal with
vaginal dryness, pms symptoms, and
menopause symptoms. 8 year of hell!
Unless you have problems with the overies,
keep them!
