Susan, PLEASE think twice. I know how bad the pain can be but know this, YOU are gambling with you Physical, Emotional and SEXUAL well-being.

One year ago I had a total hysterectomy/castration at the age of 40. My 22 year marriage and my life are over. From the first day after surgery I felt my brain and body were not connected. In my case I no longer have any sexual feelings of any kind. I can no longer have orgasm because with the cervix and uterus gone I don't have the required organs for the stimulation and contraction to produce orgasm. I did not know any of this at the time I concented to the surgery. I was not told about alternatives to hysterectomy, plus my Doctor ( I use this term loosely) removed healthy ovaries. Make sure you do all the homework yourself, don't rely on the doctor. It is your quality of life that is at stake. I don't mean to sound so negative, and I do know of good outcomes, but I have also spoken with many women who are worse off since these surgeries. I wish the best for you! Angela >
