I want a partial hysterectomy (uterus only) but my doctor is recommended that i get everything taken out and put me on HRT. I think this is defeating the purpose since i have had adverse effects from being on the pill. Has anyone had a complete done and taken HRT and have had any side effects? Has anyone just had a partial to assist with their endometriosis without the HRT? Are there any studies linking HRT with cancer or other diseases? Serious answers only from people who have had the procedure...no opinions please or inane comments about my disease or decision. (i already know a hysterectomy isnt a cure for endometriosis)

I had a total hysterectomy 18 years ago. I have been on hormone therapy on and off for a number of years. I have had no adverse problems with either. As for the studies do a quick search online and you should get the more resent studies. Since you and your doctor disagree get another opinion. A second opinion is best for any type of surgery. Good luck.

I have endometrios and they have taken out my ovary on the right side and burnt everything else no possibility of getting pregnant I had a cyst the size of a grapefruit growing to my ovary so if I had no choose but you do go get a second or third doctor opinions. Because it is your decision not any body's business. Take care and God bless you
