Does a hysterectomy work?

I'm 22 and have severe endometriosis. I have recently just had surgery where they found grade 4 adhesions mu bowel in the wrong place and tubes blocked and damaged. Due to this I have been told I will struggle even more to get pregnant which is devastating. I have tried everything! I do want children but right now I'm thinking a hysterectomy is my only option left- I have been told I will probably regret it but I can always adopt! I jjst want my life back but I just want to know if a hysterectomy definitely works?

Thanks

Hi a hysterectomy will not cure endo. All endo needs to be excised by a specialist.

I am 32 and was diagnosed with moderate endo and the my dr said he did what he could do for me. I had a stroke so don't want to go on birth control. I too am pushing for a hyaterectomy there is no cure for endo. I know two women personally that hsve felt so much better after getting one done too. In fact my co worker had 8 laps done and only finally gained relief after hyst. I would definitely consult with your doctor your options also I don't ever want kids so it's an easy decision for me. My partner had a vasectomy so I only want it done to try to gain my quality of life back. This endo shit is terrible. I wish you the best of luck on your journey whatever that may entail for you personally.
