I am 30 years old and think that my body
thinks I am 50. Ever since I had my son 9
years ago, I have really never had any
interest in sex. I have however, had 4
different surgeries, due to endometrosis,
and my uterus was turned backwards.
I now take the birth control patch
continuously, which helps with the
endometriosis, and migraines. I truely
think I am hitting menopause early.
My doctor has metioned hysterectomy a
couple of times, but I only have one
child. (since the last 2 surgeries I
consider him my miracle baby) plus I am
not even 30 yet. If I have the
hysterectomy now, is my sex life ever
gonna pick up? Me and my husband have
only been married for 3 years this past
april and he thinks I just dont love him
anymore. I can't get him to realize that
it is not him.
Can anyone relate, or shed some light on
this??

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.
