to Have Or Not to Have a Hysterectomy Posted: 10-28-03 00:41am
Ok first im 29 and have three children
after my last I had my tubes cut tied and
burnt. Since then I have had sever
menstral cramping to the point I cant get
out of bed the first few days all I do is
lie there and cry, I also bleed so much
nothing protects from leaking. I dont
even remember having cramps befor the
tubal. Anyway I started thinking a
hysterectomy might be what I need but
other have said the bad out weighs the
good and that most are unneccary can
anyone please help

well I am definately no expert but my
sister-in-law has had the same problem for
years. Her gynecologists tied her tubes
and some of the cramping started to come
back so he offered to put her on both
control pills, but she is over thirty five
and a heavy smoker. No he is sending her
for blood work and she made need to me on
estrogen.

I had the
same symptoms, I went to a dr and found
that I had fibroids on my ovary, so I had
the hysterctomy, being that I am 41 years
young, I can happily say, theres no more
cramping for me or periods, but I
encourage you, please seek a second opion,
if the procedure is done corectly, you
will be fine
thanks

I had a total hysterectomy (because of
heavy periods & cramping, nothing
else) & am not on hrt or anything
& am fine.
However I do think you should check
whether there's some other cause, problems
with your ovary/ies or endometriosis or
something else. The last thing you need
is major surgery only to find that there's
another problem which hasn't been dealt
with. You can have a hysterectomy with or
without removal of ovaries, so you do need
to know what is causing this all of a
sudden before taking action.
