I was 27 when I had my hysterectomy. I only had one child and before that never had female problems to speak of. Last year my periods started getting reall bad with diarrhea almost the whole time during. The pain was aweful from the cramps. I didn't enjoy sex anymore because of the pain. My uterus was prolapsed. My tubes were tied and I didn't want more kids. I decided to have a hysterectomy. So far it was the best thing I did. My urge for sex isn't as great, but when I have it, it is better than ever. It has been 10 months since and I do not regret it.


Good luck

I don't know exactly what to tell you but its scary. I am only 24 and just had a total hysterectomy. I have two children and wanted more, however, since shortly after my son was born I have stayed in pain with long term bleeding. I have now been bleeding for more than a year, with extreme pain with intercourse. It got to the point where I would have to be very well intoxicated to be able to have sex because the pain was so bad. Needless to say, i've had my hysterectomy and am now 7 weeks post op. I had a few minor complications with my surgery but the pain I was having is very much relieved. In fact, I noticed at my visit last week that the doctor was able to insert the speculum without me almost jumping off the table due to pain. That for me is a miracle. As for the desire for sex, well I think it has a lot to do with whether or not you want to and how you feel about yourself. I got to the point of not wanting it before and now that I know its going to be pain free, I can't wait. I don't know how things will be later on down the line but I feel like my hysterectomy was the best thing for myself and for my family.
