Re: To remove ovaries or not

Hi, I am considering having a hyst, but will definitley keep one ovary at least and my cervix if I do go the hyst route. I have done extensive research about hysts, and would like to have my own natural hormones for as long as possible.Alot of Dr's feel that one should take out anything that might cause trouble later on, I personally disagree. Tell men to loose their testicles 'in-case' they get testicular cancer, they will laugh at you. Yes, there is always a chance that you will still have some pain from the endo after a hyst, but the bad period pain and heavy bleeding will be gone. I am personally more than willing to still have cyclical pain, and have a yearly pap smear to avoid deterioration in my sex life,vaginal & bladder prolapse, and avoid taking artificial hormones for the rest of my life. I also feel that I am too young to be coping with bone loss, brittle bones, Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and trying to find the right HRT for me. So there are my personal reasons for this opinion, but you need to evaluate your situation and do what is best for you. Best of luck in making your decesion. ((((HUGS)))) LAUREN
