Most women find great relief and new life following hysterectomy.
This surgery marks the end of an adult life of pain from endometriosis or PCOS, or ovarian cysts. Some have endured the discomfort and pressure of heavy bleeding fibroids and polyps and organ prolapse. Some have been cured of endometrial cancer and had their ovaries removed as part of radical surgery. Other women, who have no family history of ovarian or breast cancer, are deceived by well-meaning doctors who tell them that they can avoid future ovarian cancer by removing healthy ovaries routinely while having a hysterectomy for fibroids or uncontrolled bleeding. Some women suffer incredible discomfort, pain and unhappiness after ovary removal and a seemingly unending search for the best, most comfortable, hormone replacement.
