A hysterectomy won't do anything for endo pain. It will cure adenomyosis (painful, heavy periods, look it up if you aren't familiar). Many women with endo have adeno but adeno is grossly underdiagnosed, so there's a misconception (and old myth) that it helps endo but it doesn't.

I had a hysterectomy for adeno in August 2019 and it's helped me so much but in the fall, I had a VERY clear endo flare up. With or without ovaries, it doesn't help endo.

In October I had a total hysterectomy (I have my ovaries) because of Adenomyosis. You will be sore and tired. Listen to your docs directions and rest but try to walk when you can. I took short trips around my bedroom.

I have heard that it is best to keep 1 ovary so that you won’t have to take hormones.

Yes I had a total full hestorectomy and I was sent home day of surgery and recovered at home for 2weeks as of today and I already feel great and no pain

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member so you had a total hysterectomy and how long was your hospital stay? How soon after surgery did you notice a difference?
