Andrianne,

Hi there. I"m very young as well only 25 and had a hyst at 24, no kids or husband. My only advice to you is make sure they at least leave one of your overies in, or you will be going into surgical menopause and if you thought that menopause with Lupron was bad, girl, I dont mean to sound rude or I am not saying this to scare you, but I want to prepare you because i was on Lupron as well and those hot flashes were nothing compaired to what I have now with hot flashes every 15 minutes or so and night sweats every night I wake up drenched in sweat, and sometimes even have to take a shower in the middle of the night or take my sheets off my bed and put new ones back on. I had this operation 7 months now and they are still horrible, not sure when they will ever go away or how long we will be in menopause for if you have surgical menopause. There arent alot of books in the libary on it either, I've looked, I just feel that being a member of hystersisters.com or hysterectomybeforeandafter.com are both very good websites for people who have had, or are thinking of having a hyst.

If you have any other questions you'd like to ask me, feel free to do so, anytime, I'm online every night and will write back asap. I try to help out as much as I can for young girls having to have a hyst. You can ask me anything no matter how personal and I will give you an honest answer, since I've already gone through this.

Take care of yourself, and try to stay painfree, and write anytime if you'd like.

-- Michelle I.

(She'll be four months on the third of Nov. Anyway, I am scheduled to have my hysterectomy on the tenth of November. I have had SO many problems in the past few years and my options are limited to Lupron and a hysterectomy. The Lupron didn't work and it did more bad than good. Night sweats, Chills, hot flashes, it is pure hell. However, although a hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis, I am glad to get some relief from the endo as well as multiple cysts and fibroids. God blessed me with a prescious daughter and now I have to do what I have to do to stay healthy and alive for her. I am trying very hard to cope with the idea of being so young and having this surgery. It is going to be hard, but God will see me through and I have faith that all will go well. However, if there is anyone who has any advice, let me know. > >Andrianne N.
