hysterectomy young women

Hi and welcome to MH, Im so sorry your thinking of a hysterectomy as a form of birth control, your frustrated and dealing with a toddler can be quite a job, I know you likely wont like what I am about to say but I must be honest, ok, first off your too young, I am 99 % sure no doctor would consent to a hysterectomy for you with out a serious medical diagnosis, second you dont know what the future has in store for you , you may decide later to have more children.

If you are dealing with hormones I believe weight can be a very big factor, yes I do. Young women having hysterectomies as opposed to post menopausal women as myself, have definately different issues. Its most important that people state age in relation to these conversations.

It may have shut down completely. Hysterectomy has been shown to impair ovarian function. The ovaries of women with all their parts produce hormones their whole lives to keep them healthy, something gynecologists fail to tell women before hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy. :( Are you not taking any hormones? Estrogen usually helps symptoms and has also been shown to mitigate some of the many increased health risks associated with female organ removal.

Ok so in 2012 I had a hysterectomy but they left my ovaries and tubes in tact. I am nervous because Friday I go in it has my tubes and ovaries removed as well as thinning of scar tissue from my hysterectomy. What do I need to expect as well as recovery since I have 3 kids under the age of 6. Also any information on different hormone replacement therapies would be much appreciated.

Hi! I find often that women who have chronic pelvic pain are talked into believing that 1-2 cm cysts are causing their problems. These cysts are normal and are almost always present on every woman's ovaries. I hope this is not what your doctors are talking about too! Your problem is a difficult one--chronic pain in the pelvic area, and believe it or not, often results from some sort of major physical/psychological trauma that becomes worse and worse over time.

so they want to do a biosy becaz I want a hysterectomy becaz I went this pain to go away ...they have said becas iof the pain I'm have is becaz I either have fibroids ....or polycyc ....all these I went to know if I could have cancer becazof all the symbolsim having ....I have a thick endometriosis.....

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, far more so than ovarian cancer. 1 in 3 women has a hysterectomy by age 60 and 1 in 2 by age 72. 1 in 3 women dies of heart disease. To put the numbers in perspective, a 2009 study said that ovarian cancer accounts for 14,800 deaths per year in the USA while heart disease accounts for 350,000 deaths per year. Additionally, 100,000 cases of dementia per year may be attributable to prior bilateral oophorectomy.

I am 48 & had TAHBSO @ age 37. As young as 15 I remember severe episodes of clitoral pain. I was not sexually active with myself or anyone else until age 19. I have seen 3 female doctors who were freaked out to see my clitoris w/ purple blood blisters.

I did some research several years ago, and found that most women with endometriosis severe enough to warrant a hysterectomy young also began their periods at a young age. I was 8 years old when my periods began. I wonder if that has anything to do with the onset of MS.

I think it is neccesary for you to go gyno and have the fibroids removed...gynos arent usually willing to give hysterectomys to young women unless they present with cancer.the fibroid removal is a much simpler surgery and will help you a lot.

I have been in a lot of pain every month even being on birth control, I have thought about just having an hysterectomy, just to get rid of it, even thought some women still get it after every thing is gone, I still want more kids but I don't know if having the pain is wroth it.

ve read these postings for hours and have been so surprised to learn that so many young women have a serious long-lasting problem with these tears. They are not suspect of the dried-atrophied vaginas of menopausal women, but they have had this problem for years and years, in spite of the many medical approaches they tried. This leads me to another question: in your opinion, why is this something that once started is that hard to overcome?

Am I too young to get one? I'm 32. I heard you have to be at least 40 and up? Most women I've heard get one after their Hysterectomy. I don't know why? I guess maybe there is a connection in maybe issues that can/will come up? Which I had my Hysterectomy Nov. 16, 2011. I already have IBS problems. So should I mention to my doctor to check for polyps, cancer, and/or etc? Any advice will be helpful!

I am 48 years old so I was 40 when I had my hysterectomy....too young to be suffering from these horrible conditions. Is there something I can take? Please help!

I had a friend who recently went through a hysterectomy at a young age due to nearly the exact same situation. She said it was the best thing she ever did for herself! A hysterectomy is a VERY serious life decision though, and I hope you have thought through all of you options before landing on this permanent one. If anything, I would HIGHLY suggest seeking new doctors and getting second, even third, opinions before taking this giant leap.

d like to know if any of you have had a hysterectomy in your twenties and whether or not there are still other women out there who support the decision to have a hysterectomy at this age?

am i too young to have a hysterectomy.? or do i have to have kids before this process is possible.? will i still have periods after the surgery has taken place.? Please respond A.S.A.

Hovering over toilet, not being able to eat, nausea, faintness, crazy mood swings, etc. Have been on the pill from very young age-too old for that now, I think given the risks. Have been diagnosed PMDD yrs ago. Just want the pain to go away! May be part of other problems-depression, anxiety and Fibromyalgia. Friends are concerned that I want to do something so drastic as hysterectomy, I'm fine with it and so is hubby, he was fixed after 2nd child born 4 yrs ago.

By all means get a second opinion before the hysterectomy. The attitudes about hysterectomy vary from region to region and from city to the suburbs... I live in a smallish WI town where docs sound like the writer's doc- 'just take the darn thing out' is the usual comment in this 'neck of the woods'! And I admit to coming across many women over the years who were very grateful for 'the change'. BUT...

I had been fighting for this hysterectomy for years, but I was always told I was too young and that I might want to have more children. 1 child, many burst cysts, and 3 miscarriages later, they still wouldn't do a hysterectomy. I sought out a lot of different opinions, and they all came to the conclusion that I was "too young". It took ten years, a good OB/GYN, and a lot of me suffering, to get the hysterectomy I needed. If you are young they may try to force you to wait.

HI, Even though you may not want any more children, you are too young for a hysterectomy. The bleeding can be stopped with help of haemostatic medicines and with use of hormones like progestins. Also a D&C may sometimes be necessary to stop the bleeding. The ovarian cysts need further evaluation regarding their size and nature. Many of the cysts in young women respond to birth control pills or regress spontaneously. Hence it would be best to consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation.

You should post this question in the Ovarian cancer forum.
