I'm 29 and may have a hysterectomry b4 the end of the year... what can I expect?

Question

I have PCOS and my Dr. has given my news of an abrnomal pap. It's happened before and my body seems to be getting worse (internally - cysts, menstrual pain, etc). I told her I was interested in a hyster & she was actually relieved to hear it b/c she said that w/ my condition, it's the best thing that I can do. I figure logically that well, with all these cysts and pain, who knows how bad I might be in a few years. We do not want any children, I'm over that hump already too so... pros and cons anyone? Thank you!

Answer 1

see another docter, three are always other optins out there. Aa for the baby thing you are still young. I

Answer 2

Pro: No more periods!

Con: Some women have emotional/psychological issues about their "womanhood" being stripped away...

If you are certain you are okay with not having your own/biological children, then I don't see much of a problem.

Answer 3

The biggest cons are psychological.  Some women experience lower libido, and the inability to become pregnant can be frustrating.  Since you've already decided against conceiving a child, hysterectomy does sound like a good option for you.  Just make sure you research thoroughly, because it is major surgery.
