xpost..I need some input on a few female issues,

I have posted on the main board and the pcos support group but I really haven't receive much response.  A little background..my hubby just came home for two weeks leave.  Intercourse became more and more painful so I went to the GYN.  He told me that day he wanted to go ahead and admit me for an immediate hysterctomy due to severe uterine prolapse and rectocele.  I had been daignosed 3 years ago with this but it was only minor at the time.  He is now concerned that it will completely prolapse without some type of immediate intervention..the pessary(we are NOT going to go there.)  I could not schedule the surgery that day because my hubby was leaving back to iraq at the end of the week and I had to arrange extended childcare (we have a 3 year old daughter and 2 year old twin boys)  Now that all that part is taken care of my question is ..Due to a long history of Polysistic ovarian syndrome and other issues, do I encourage him to take out the ovaries too while he is doing the hysterectomy and rectocele repair.  I'm no worried about the affects of taking them out (menopause mainly) i am more concerned about what happens if I leave them in.  The risk of ovarian cancer ect.  I am also wondering about the cervix too.  I was wondering if anyone has had this experience or close enough to it to offer some advice.  And yes, I am going to talk further about this with my GYN.  I am researching this thoroughly online also and any input or experience would help guide me in researching what would be best for me.  I appreciate anyone's advice.  Feel free to message me if you don't feel comfortable posting on the board.

 well u do have a lot on your plate right now.
I think the best thing is to get a second opinion BUT if you are done having your kids and if there is a risk to your overall health by trying to keep the uterus then I would let it go.

If you can, try to keep your ovaries, unless there is chronic problems..The cysts are usually underdeveloped /unreleased eggs. Make sure you discuss lots with your GYN, cuz sometimes the trauma of a hysterectomy may cause some of your cysts to be more panful or more to be produced, just due to the stress and anaesthia.

I have been avoiding a hysterectomy but it is due to fibroids..I can usually work hard with my naturopath and shrink them, so going to keep waiting as longas I can.. Surgery and I do not get along very well- (scared for WLS)
if u remove the ovaries, u will experience menopause post-op and with 3 little ones..u will need some extra help
also the cervix- depends on the gyn and your particular situation
if there is any family history of any female reproductive cancer then they may consider removing it all

good luck to you and I really hope you can get some extra help, you will need some rest post op
