I am faced with a dilemma and need advice. I have had very heavy periods for the last year. I also expirence excrutiating pain. But the pain does not stop there. I also have pain after having sex with my spouse. And to top it all off I had pelvic pain thru the weekend and went to the er finally on sun. Found out I have cysts. I know this is common but what more do I have to do. My doctor and I have spoke about many diff. Treatments. I have tried the pill and the patch. Didnt like either of them. Too many side effects. My mom had a hysterectomy at 35 for heavy periods. I think I am on that same path. I just dont know what to do. I am scared of the possibilty of losing my sex drive and I dont like the hormone therapy idea. Can anyone just give a little advice. Do I or dont i. Thanks Question

Your choice is certainly your own, and there are so many factors to consider. Do you have/want children? Do you have risks for cancer? Is the quality of life you have now what you want to continue with for the next x years until you reach menopause?

No one can make the decision for you, but you can certainly do lots of research on the web. If you have not been to hystersisters.Com I would recommend it for support and guidance. I love it.

Good luck to you no matter which path you choose.
