Having my hysterectomy next month and I’m so excited to be rid of this organ that has caused me so much pain and distress for so long. I’m open to questions if anyone is interested in the process of getting one.

Im 19 and never really had any issues with periods. In fact I would say that im lucky for it to be only 5 days with mild cramps. However, I have family history of ovarian cysts and I also never want kids. However do I go about this? I want to get a lateral hysterectomy but how do I even get approved if I don’t even have issues?

I have endometriosis as well as a family history of other issues, and I have no desire to get pregnant ever, and my gynecologist is super chill and got me a referral to a surgeon. It’s been about a year of logistics but that’s mostly due to my school schedule and other surgeries I needed

i also have no desire of pregnancy in the future and idk if i have endometriosis but i know for a fact the pain and nausea that I get on my period is not normal at all. I’ve been to urgent care many times and have cried in front of doctors begging for help bc of the pain. Been on the verge of passing out, etc. ive tried the big ibuprofen pills and even birth control but they make me nauseous and depressed. Im still very dependent on my mom who rlly wants grandchildren so i gotta get away first😭
