I had a complete hysterectomy (but kept ovaries to keep from going into menopause) in February. What was supposed to be a 2-2 1/2 surgery took almost 5 hrs due to all the adhesions (bladder, colon, uterus, tubes, intestines, vagina were all tied together). Best decision I could have ever made (especially after being in the ER due to insane pain twice within 2 weeks before my surgery). I am 7 mpo, and am now dealing with minor sharp pains again on my left side. Have gotten 2 vag ultrasounds in the last 3 weeks (drs orders) which have resulted in my left ovary cannot be seen, and either an ovarian cyst or endo on the right side that has doubled in size in 3 weeks. While it sucks that I’m still dealing with this, I still feel so much better after having the hysterectomy.

I also have an appointment in the making for a partial hysterectomy... We have cows and horses and lots of dogs and the fibroid tumor is causing a lot of pain and a burning sensation... My doctor is kind enough to get it done before winter... The beginning of October. You have to do what your body tells you.

How soon are you needing to know? I have recently decided to ditch the uterus & have same scenario. I know it won't cure endo & Lefty can still throw cysts but after a recent bitchin endo flare my fibroids are causing mega grief. I have a very physical job doing which has been impacted+ my weight is up while eating less & my back hurts. I'll keep you posted 🤞

Thanks so much for sharing

Thank you. Would appreciate to get your experience. My surgery is in November
