Should I decide on a partial or full hysterectomy at age 31?

Question

I have two children and have had my tubes tied for five years. Since then I have very heavy and irregulary peiods (atleast two a month) with severe pain. Recently I found out that I have a bleeding cyst on my right ovary and one that is not bleeding on my left. My doctor is considering hysterectomy if my cervical biopsy doesn't show simple infection. Has any one else been through this. Thank you.

Answer 1

I was your age when I had a total hysterectomy. My gyn. told me that my pain was from my ovaries and I would continue having it if I didn't have them removed. He also said that the majority of women who have a partial are back within six months having their ovaries removed. I'd say get it all done at once, that way it is over with. If you take your HRT on a regular basis, you should have no problems with hot flashes, osteoporosis, etc.

Answer 2

I had a partial hysterectomy at 26, do to irregular bleeding, I too had 2 children and a previous tubal. If at all possible I would definately choose partial because then you won't have to be on any kind of hormone replacement. I was scared to have to go through it at such a young age, but now almost three years later, I feel so much better. If you have any particular questions feel free to email me. I'd be glad to answer them. Good Luck.

Answer 3

I havent had this procedure but i have a lil idea about this... as fas as my study, if one of your ovary doesnt function anymore then it cause disease on you, that's the time you have to see an OB and if she said that you should undergo that procedure then it's ok. Besides we have 2 ovaries and if you lose 1 atleast you have other one. and most espacially, it will help you not to get worsen the diseases. Don't worry, they just take off the mass then do a biopsy to find out if its harmful or not.
