Hi I too am considering a hysterectomy and my concerns are that my doctor said he can leave the ovaries but then isn't it better to take everything as I'm through with everything.  I still wnat to enjoy sex and I don't want to grow unwanted hair. I get severe abdominol pain where I can't even function for 1-2 days a month.  I am doubled over in  pain unless I take perscription for percecet which make me feel ill to my stomach.  I am 39 and need a solution to this.  Any suggestions would help.  Thanks
