Hysterectomy

Should I have one 49 6 surgeries

Although hysterectomies are still offered as treatment solution for endometriosis, much research and many studies say they are not a dependable or lasting solution to endometriosis. Where they are shown to be used effectively is in the treatment of Adenomyosis, rather than Endometriosis.

While some women find some relief after a Hysterectomy, it appears that in the majority of cases this is temporary and that any relief in symptoms soon dissolves. For many women that suffer from endometriosis they even have a return of symptoms after menopause, despite the historical thought that menopause 'cures' a woman of endometriosis and/or all the associated symptoms.

I wish I could offer better news. I've done a lot of reading up on the subject in investigating different approaches and their success rates.

You might find the Facebook group Nancy's Nook Endometriosis helpful as it offers a wide range of material available and you may find something useful within it.

Whatever your decision in the end, I hope you find the solution that is best for you and that it comes with relief from the pain and any other symptoms you experience.

It is so very hard when desperate to find something that works and nothing seems to.

I wish you luck in finding what does work for you, whether you choose to have the hysterectomy or not.
