You need a medical reason for a hysterectomy. It's not something you just "want" to do. Therefore, age doesn't matter if there is a medical reason for it.

Unless you have a medical reason for needing a hysterectomy, it's highly unlikely you'll get one before menopause. It's major surgery with a fair number of serious complications, and is not generally done electively.
Permanent birth control, such as endometrial ablation or tubal ligation, is slightly more obtainable at a young age. Slightly. I've heard horror stories about doctors refusing women who actually have a medical need to get a hysterectomy or oophrectomy because they have yet to reproduce. I suggest next time you go to your doctor, ask about permanent birth control, and get them to put a note in your chart saying you are interested in it. If they are absolutely resistant to the concept, seek out a new physician, but otherwise, state your inclinations now, so that when you are in your early twenties or so, they'll have a record that you wanted to be sterilized for a long time, and are less likely to change your mind.

Hysterectomies are not done for no reason at all. If they do a hysterectomy you will have all the symptoms of menopause and all of the problems that go along with that unless you take hormone replacement therapy. It is not all that simple to just say you want a hysterectomy.

No. There is no reason for you to have one. You can't just go into a surgeon's office and say, I want a hysterectomy." They won't do it unless you have a very serious condition that requires it. And no, you can't give yourself a condition so you can get one. If you want one so that you won't get pregnant, there are other ways to prevent pregnancy. And if you want it so you won't have periods anymore.....well, too bad. Deal with it like the rest of us. Now, the 3rd reason you might want one is for a sex change operation. If that is the reason, you have to be much older and have at least 3 years of psychiatric therapy before they will even consider changing your gender.

No doctor will give you a hysterectomy if you don't need one. Maybe you should talk to a doctor or a nurse.

You are way to young to be thinking about a hysterectomy.Leave that to the women who have problems with their uterus,like heavy and painful menstrual periods,fibroids,cancer,HPV,etc.If there's a history of uterine,cervical cancer in your family get an annual pap once a year.Your GYN doctor can also do some blood work to check for cancer(ovarian and cervical).
