This woman is only 31 years old and doesn't even mention whether or not she has ever had children or desires a future pregnancy. Clearly, she is seeking an alternative to hysterectomy to, quite possibly, preserve her fertility. I find your response incredible. Get on with your life comfortably? With a hyst at age 31? I'm sure glad you're not MY doctor!
