I had a hysterectomy about 6 years ago and have NO regrets! My periods were so painful and getting worse each month, along with the flow being so heavy I had to wear both a tampon and a pad and still leaked through at times. I no longer suffer any pain and I have not missed my periods at all. The one thing I did though was choose to keep my ovaries. I felt I wasn't ready to go though menopause just yet at 41 years of age. If you have the option of keeping them, please think it over. The main reason I chose to keep them is that I can not go on Estrogen like most women can because I have cystic mastitis and would have a higher likelyhood of developing breast cancer if placed on hormone replacement therapy. So consider your options and if a hyst is your only choice I say go for it... You won't regret it.
