Question for LYNN - Hysterectomy

Hi Lynn,

I will have a hysterectomy next week (35 years old) after 8 years of endometriosis and uterine fibroids (and 5 laperoscopies). I know that it is recommended to also have to ovaries removed in this situation, but after alot of research and speaking with doctors, I have made an informed decision to keep my ovaries and my uterus.

The question: my doctor has said that he will do the hyst either with an abdominal incision or laperoscopy (totally my choice), but he recommends the incision. He said that this will make it easier for him to ensure that he is finding and removing as much of the endo and scar tissue as possible. I really trust him and it makes sense, but want to see how you feel about this. Can you give me your feedback on this?

Thanks very much! Rhonda
