Hi! I devloped endometriosis in my late 20's. When I was in my early 30's I had an 8 hour operation at Texas Women's Hospital where they lasered the endometrial implants throughout my pelvis and abdomen. I was totally symptom free until I was 39 and finally had a total hysterectomy.
At your young age, I would definitely seek an alternative to hysterectomy. A second opinion is definitely recommended.
Good luck and hopefully you'll be able to avoid a hysterectomy. There are so many side effects to having one at such a young age. I took hormone replacements until I was in my early 50's, which prevented a lot of the problems such as osteoporosis - but since I stopped taking them - I have developed osteoporosis very quickly. |
