Smart man. He also plans to take the cervix too correct? I know some doctors think it is good to leave it but mine, who is in his late 70s early 80s now, said that is the worse thing a doctor can do, so please make sure he is taking the cervix also. Hope all goes well.

I had mine at 23. It is scary. Make sure you talk to your doctor about what all he/she plans to remove. Me and mine discussed everything including leaving my ovaries, which we did, plan and research help.

Thanks for the reply! I talked with my doc, he is planning on leaving my ovaries, which is good, but planning on taking the Fallopian tubes.

Thanks for the response! I’m still figuring out what to post where 🤦🏻‍♀️ but thank you for the resources! It was my choice to get a hysterectomy; my other option was to just have the fibroids removed but the likelihood of them growing back is not something I want to worry about. My main fibroid is 6 inches in diameter, and it’s causing a lot of pain and other issues, so I don’t want to risk them coming back. I don’t want kids, so that part is not a huge deal, thankfully. I know that a hysterectomy won’t cure endo but thanks for clarifying that; like I said, I don’t even know if I have endo as it stands. I just have a lot of symptoms in line with it.
