The loss of my organs has transformed my once taken for granted happy, productive life into endless days of despair. The uterus and ovaries have lifelong functions - anatomical, skeletal, hormonal/endocrine, and sexual. Just as a man's prostate and testicles are for much more than reproduction, so are a woman's SEX organs. It's time society sit up and take notice of this injustice against women.

So, there will never be a time when you won't need them.

If it has cancer, it has no come out. <br /><br />It strikes me that if the recurring issues are bleeding and PMS, these may be Estrogen Excess states. Instead if removing the uterus, why not institute hormone therapy? With hormone therapy, the cycle (or having no cycle) can perhaps be controlled. Isn't that a better thing?Dr Margaret Arandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233294700250409713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736295125267778049.post-60227824687190560902012-10-22T01:26:43.841-07:002012-10-22T01:26:43.841-07:00Most of the women in my family have had hysterecto...Most of the women in my family have had hysterectomies. And considering the size of my family, that is saying a lot. I was told ten years ago to prep for one, but refused and instead opted for the Lupron shot with 12 doses. Most of the symptoms - excessive bleeding, severe cramping (often leaving me screaming in pain on the floor), etc - disappeared for eight years afterwards. They are returning and the PMDD is getting worse. Personally, I'd do the Lupron again before a hysterectomy. I am kind of attached to my body parts and unless it is life threatening, would rather keep them all.

It is good that you had already gone through menopause but I can't help but wonder if you were worked up for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with your symptoms. Did you get hot flashes, dryness? So many women go through a huge decrease in quality of life without knowing there is the possibility of some help.

Many of us who have faced the diagnosis of ovarian cancer have had the TAH-BSO PROCEDURE, myself included. Because I was 68 at the time, I had already gone through menopause.<br />I encourage women who read this blog to ask you questions for clarification or information; or leave a comment re: their experiences with hysterectomies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
