Hi everyone! I had a hysterectomy january of 2005. I did not have my ovaries removed. We decided that b/c I was only 29 at the time, he wanted to leave my ovaries in. He said that b/c breast cancer runs so rapidly in our family, that I wouldn't be able to take the hormone pills that are given after an oophorectomy.........And that i'd jut have to go through menopause. That was not an option for me. So, i'm letting my ovaries carry me as long as they can.
Here's the problem i'm having. I still have breast tenderness about 3 days out of every month. Is that b/c i'm still using my own hormones? Are my ovaries causing the breast tenderness. Is this normal? I always associated breast tenderness with my period and assumed that when my period was gone, the tenderness would be also. Has anyone had this problem?
