It sounds like your doctor knows something about your build that we don't; not surprising, since we still can't do exams over the Internet. Do you know what your doctor found, and why s/he thought you might eventually need a hysterectomy? Perhaps you could write back with some additional information and see if you get a better answer. Many doctors ask women to have a post-partum exam at six weeks. Sounds like it might be a particularly good idea in your case. Why don't you get it checked out? Good luck.
