I just recently had a complete hysterectomy on May 20/15. I have a follow with my specialist on June1/15, about HRT that he wants me to go on. I had a hysterectomy due to a polyp on my cervix, thickening of the lining and also endometriosis. My doctor wanted to leave my ovaries, but having read a lot on your site about other women who ended up going back in for surgery within two years to have there ovaries removed, and also that the ovaries are what also helps your endometriosis grow, I insisted they be removed.
My mother, about 10 years ago had breast cancer caused from estrogen replacement therapy, she also prior to the breast cancer, had cervical cancer(18 years ago)..... So really not too educated on HRT and wanted any input from other women who are more knowledgeable about this topic.
Really unsure what to expect during my recovery, and what to do about HRT.
Thanks for listening and giving me the info I need too.
