Kristye,

If you haven't tried hormone therapy before, I suggest you try that before resorting to a hysterectomy. (what hormone therapy is it, BTW?) If that doesn't work, you can go on to a hysterectomy, but once the uteruse (and tubes and ovaries if your endometriosis is that bad) are gone, they are gone forever.

Good luck.
