Is it a womans choice for hysterectomy
Hey Everyone, :-)
I've had problems since Sept 2006 and it's getting worse as of the past few months. I'm going for my first Gyn Oncologist appt Thursday March 13th. I'm wondering if it's HIS decision if I can and should have some sort of hysterectomy or if it CAN BE MINE???????????????????????
I've had SO MANY PROBLEMS ( you can read my page if ya want) and don't want to do a little fix here and there and KEEP GOING BACK over and over again for more to be removed. Is it MY RIGHT to have this surgery or is it TOTALLY up to the doctors and insurance????????????? Does anybody know, because I want to be ready with KNOWLEDGE on Thursday?????
I recently learned about Radical Hysterectomy which I would NEVER think to do, but Cervical Cancer issue's run in my family with my oldest sister, my Mom and my other sister is being watched with something in her cervix and now my 22 year old daughter is having cervical issue's. I don't want to have to go back for something in the future.
Also, what are the REAL DOWN SIDES from your experiences of having a hysterectomy? I would LOVE to hear from women who have been through this. I have talked with women a little that live near me and they all say IT'S AWESOME and THEY'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. Some had partial, one a full and one I "think" was radical. I thought a full hysterectomy was everything, but I was wrong....... LOL
Hoping to get some answers SOON as my appointment with the oncologist is the DAY AFTER TOMORROW............... YICKS.............
THANK YOU ALL...........IN ADVANCE. :-)

Madge, THANK YOU for writing. I have SO MUCH TO KNOW AND LEARN it's overwhelming. I know I have to have biopsies for the Solid Mass and Complex Cysts. Also, they need to find out what's in my left kidney. I just don't know what to expect tomorrow for my 1st Gyn Oncologist appt.
I've posted a lot of information about my issue's on my profile page if you wanna check it out sometime.
I need to go relax and get my mind off tomorrow. I'm VERY THANKFUL to you all. :-D

I had a prolapsed uterus. It started about 7 years ago and I kept fixing it myself (don't ask)..and the gyn would not do hysterectomy because it is major surgery and thus far it was a minor nuisance for me. I told him it was like an old warn out handbag, I am not gonna use it anymore so why not get rid of it! Well it finally fell down far enough to cause cystocel and rectocel and then they decided I couldl have it out.....so I would say if you have enough problems that the caus eis uterine thy will decide with you...if however they don't think it is bad enough they will not want to do it.....on the other hand some doctors will do it no matter what. I prefer the ones who will do it when it IS necessary. I have NO reason to think I wish I had not done this, and I am still healing...I am glad its done....
Good Luck...and by the way.its YOUR body and so you most definately must have a say!
