Confused I'am 27 and my doctor is urging me to have a hysterectomy and have my ovaries removed, does anyone have any advised as to whether I should have both my ovaries removed or just my uterus? Thanks

Are you having problems that would bring the doctor to the conclusion you need a hysterectomy? (bleeding, pain, cancer, endometriosis, cysts, etc)

27 is too young to have a complete hysterectomy, and normally, except under extreme circumstances, a physician would not even recommend it.

Sad I am sorry to hear that. I struggled with endo for about 4 years. I tried every treatment, had endless surgery's. I am now 24. I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 22. I do not have any children. I married two months after my surgery. My husband has stood behind my every step of the way. About 6 months after the surgery, I started having pain once more. I went to the er, and my doctor told me that it was all in my head. He amitted me into the hospital and sent a shrink up to my room. I then was furious, I removed the iv and got dressed and walked out. I found a new doctor, and it ended up that I had severe adhesions to my colon and bowels. I am trying not to scare you, but I have not felt this good in a long time. It is a very hard decision to make, but you do what feels right to you not what makes everyone happy.
