Hi! My name is cindy I was suppose to have complete hysterectomy 2 years ago but fear kept me from doing so. Now I am facing a possible colostemy and bowel resection. Yes our situations are really different. But did your dr tell you on down the road with your prolblem now could it get worse? Did you tell your dr that you have second thoughts?Does it not feel uncomfortable to have a prolapsed uterus? Talk to you dr and make your decision from there. If its a not needed surgery don't have it ,but I find out what it may bring later down the road wether it will make your condition worse or not. I have made myself a mess, wish I would of had my surgery 2 years ago. Bye and take care best of luck.

My name is rachel. I'm 27 years old. :(
it's been a year since my hyst. I have had problems ever since, I was younger. I had cervical cancer when I was 15 years old. I'm not kidding you, it really was down hill ever since. I've had so,so many laps done and coneing of the cervix. Cysts on my ovaries that were the size of grapefruits. After my third child, I had discussed with my husband how sex was just getting too painful. I wanted the surgery! My uterus was prolapsed and I continued to have the cysts.
Immediately after surgery I wasn't feeling emotionally stable.
I was crying most of the day. I even had thoughts of suicide. I felt and I still feel like a part of me is missing.I will never hit the sexual peek that my girlfriends are enjoying!!! I don't want to have sex with my husband. And that really is the hardest part of all of this. To see him struggle and battle with me about that! I'd rather him go find a girlfriend at times. And that is not me to even say that!!! I tell my friends that joke about having a hyst. To never do it! If I could go back I would. I would live with the pain I was in. So please. Do alot of research before you do it!!!!!
Talk with woman who have had one.
Decide for yourself if it's worth it.
You really won't ever be the same...
To the woman who are great after a hyst. You are lucky!

I am 37 yrs old and had a partial hysterectomy a year ago. I had a fibriod the size of a 5 month fetus and they thought it may be cancerous. I was able to keep my overies thankfully. I was also concerned about having it since I have no children and always wanted some, but for health reasons, I thought it was for the best. I have started to experience mood swings but nothing to major, and I have experienced an increase in my sex drive~~go figure. I think you need to figure out what is best for you. If your health is an issue, wouldn't it be best to get one done. There will always be positives and negatives with this kind of surgery. You need to weigh them all before making your decision. : )
