A bit late for me but...
I had a
hysterectomy
when I was about 55 for fibroids mainly but was still having painful periods at times previous to this . That is about 40 years worth! I wish all the woman on this forum well and hope they have a different experience and better one.

Endo/Adeno Rant .... Exhausted!! Microgynon 30?
I've avoided the "recommended treatment" of Decapeptyl injections (put you through early menopause), the IUD, the pill and of course the glamourous
hysterectomy
for as long as i could and now I’m using the Pill.

Borderline Tumor
After scans I was told, mid August, that I have a borderline tumor and will have a
hysterectomy
,removal of fallopian tubes, omentum & possibly appendix. I am still waiting for this op, I feel it has been a long time to wait. Should I be pushing or is it not so urgent as it is a borderline tumor.

B12 deficiency v. Ferritin deficiency
I had a
hysterectomy
over 10 years ago and been through menopause, so I was sent for a lot of tests to find out if there was internal bleeding, etc. All was fine. My b12 level is consistently around the 300 mark, so didn’t ever think it could be anything other than low ferritin.

Help with first steps
Despite saying it needed investigation, her two proposals were either the merina coil OR
hysterectomy
. Is it just me or do those seem like two massively polar treatment options?!

Advice please
Hi, I am due to have a
hysterectomy
in October. Ovaries are going too and there's a strong chance of bowel resection due to recto sigmoid endometriosis. If anyone has any advice for recovery or can share their experience I would be grateful. Thank you Aimee

Endo and fibroid issues
Talk of a
hysterectomy
. Worried about bowel complications and possibility it may involve resection. Pouch of Douglas 'obliterated'. Fertility journey ended unsuccessfully, but
hysterectomy
seems so final. I'm 43 so was hoping for a few more years before menopause.

Advice request - going in circles with doctors
I've already asked for a
hysterectomy
but they don't want to at my age (mid-30's) and they said even if they did do that it might not stop endo anyway. Thank you to anyone who reads this and any help is really appreciated.

I understand a
hysterectomy
is not a cure and as it’s a big operation I want to find out more regarding their reasons for pushing for this option but they’re not being very forthcoming.

Multiple conditions leading to burnout
My consultant has recently advised I am likely to need a
hysterectomy
and has discussed injections in the interim. I am still fairly young so it isn't ideal. Alongside this, my entire family has been decimated by cancer.

Help, shall I take a break or not
I've been waiting for four years for my
hysterectomy
and I still don't have a date. My recent hormone injection appointment was cancelled and I'm wondering whether to take the opportunity to take a break from taking HRT and having monthly injections for a while.

You Are All Amazing
My right ovary was removed 5 years ago during the
hysterectomy
surgery, because I had plenty of benign cysts on it and the surgeon told me it just could not be saved. The current doctor is particularly concerned about one of of the masses. CA 125 is 52.3.

Medically induced menopause at 24
Also if this doesn't work do you think next step would be to advise me
hysterectomy
because at what stage do they advise it? I got so much thoughts in my head I'm so young I would ideally like children but not currently ready.

Options?
Endo BGSE specialist has said there are no other options as
hysterectomy
isn’t considered until over 35 (I’m 27). And I know hysterectomy’s aren’t a cure but they think I might have Adenomyosis as well but said it’s treated same way to endo. I just want relief and I have 0 options. Any advice?

At my wits end 😢
I literally begged for a
hysterectomy
as I couldn't cope with the bleeding any longer and they kept refusing.
