Hysterectomy
So I've been dealing with a lot of health issues lately. PCOS, Dysplasyia, Pelvic Pain, you name it I have it (Is what if feels like). Well cancer runs in my family and have been very scared that this whole situation could turn really ugly and quick. I had suggested to my OBGYN about having a hysterectomy. Only because I have 3 kids already, had my tubes tide 6 yrs ago and don't plan on having anymore at all! I am 32 and I am worried to death about getting cancer if my situation isn't taken care of. Well I kept pushing him and he kept saying no for me to wait and just come back every 3 months so he could do a pap. Why would I do that! He did not understand that I wanted this taken care of and now. Well I went and got a second opinion and he totally agreed with me! Yay, finally someones actually listening to me. Anyways he agreed and said it would be the best thing for me specially since cancer is in my family history. I know it may be a drastic measure to try to elevate these issues I'm having. But I really need to think about my children, husband, and family. I know having this done won't cure all of my symptoms but atleast it'll will take care of some of them. I had RNY in Jan and feel fantastic!

Hello
I understand how you feel. I have PCOS and no one ever brings it up not my OBGYN family doc no one. For the past few months I have been thinking I want a hysterectomy because of all the pain and most of all constant worry. I am to a point that I am scared to go get my pap. Good luck to you.

I know how you feel. But if know one is dealing with your issue then you need to stand up and be heard. That is exactly what I had to do. I went to another OBGYN and discussed my problems and symptoms with him and he totally understood me! I was so amazed at how he took control over the situation and totally agreed that it was to my benefit having the hysterectomy. I have PCOS issues, major pelvic pain, and haven't had a period in months. His major concerns were the pelvic pain and no period in months. I had this procedure done in Jan for mild dysplasyia and my new OBGYN thinks he might have sealed something off and that is why I am not having a period. Which is also part of the pelvic pain that I am constantly feeling. I always feel so bloated and inflammed. I have awful pain during sex. Don't get scared find yourself a new OBGYN and get a pap done. I think you have more to worry about it you let it go. Since cancer runs in my family that is why I am so pushing for hyster. I don't want to be okay right now and then have something come up later. Thanks I have an ultra sound on Tuesday which is routine because he likes to do his own. I've already had one done but he feels he needs to do one. I don't care that's what insurances are for anyways.

What about an endometrial ablasion? A friend of mine who's suffered from severe PCOS had to have the procedure and since has felt a LOT better.

Lizz, I have been in your shoes and I did the EXACT same thing. My doctor kept putting me off too. I have PCOS and had been heavily bleeding for 9 months along with dysplasia!!! I went for a second opinion and had the hysterectomy done. Best thing I ever did!!!

Thanks Tana for reassuring me on that I am doing the right thing. I did get a second opinion and went for ultra sound and have huge cyst on left ovary, have a very enlarged uterus and also have fibroids that are developing. So I've been scheduled for surgery already and that will be in Dec. I wish I could have it done already but had to work it around work so the only available day they had was Dec 2nd. Not too far away but it still seems like a long time. Thanks again. I really needed to know that I won't regret this.

As a cancer survivor, I don't think any measures that keep you healthy and make you feel secure are too drastic! I'm glad you found someone who would listen and agree with you!
