I am sorry you feel "exhausted" from all of these posts you are trying to take in, if I understood your comment correctly. I think you also meant to say, "I'm no longer asking to hear from women who "Have" (not haven't) suffered from the after effects of a Hysterectomy". Your previous response also with reference to women holding inside after a Hyst. and feeling like more of a man, and asking your doctor about this if so. I do not know where you got this from. Also, you have heard, with replies, from women who are aware of the Hers Foundation. We, who have been in touch with the Hers Foundation, are only bound by what we have learned as facts, and do point this organization out; in that, they have provided information, help, and a better understanding to what has happened to our bodies with having a Hysterectomy performed on us.
Women are only trying to help here. This is not the wrong "venue". Your biggest mistake would be not to listen and yes, it may be exhausting to read and hear, but please know the women sharing with you are exhausted too with trying to get the word out to help. Doctors will stick together. Some will scoff at the Hers Foundation. These are the doctors you should be concerned with. If I could not make any more profound statement, it would be this. Yes, listen to all, get as much information as you can, make your choices as wisely as possible. Just remember, doctors should be there to help you make your decisions as wisely as possible. If any doctor puts down the Hers Foundation; however, this is not a doctor you want to be with. Trust me on this one. The women, like myself are giving you personal experiences of what faced in the aftermath with having a Hysterectomy, and we were not informed of the outcome and problems associated with having a surgery as this. Remember this too - there is no going back. There are alternatives, and just do not let any doctor tell you otherwise. And, Terri, my comments with women who have had a Hysterectomy, and say they "feel fine" afterwards... my point was this: there are many who say this (not all), but they are afraid, yes afraid, they will be thought of as differently, and do feel they will be better to keep quiet; when in actuality, they live in a silent and personal 'He--'. Yes, Terri, this is true and factual. You, just take care. You sound to be a very intelligent woman. I feel you will 'soak' this all in, and even though exhausting and you have opened up a 'door' with people responding; take heed that the women posting here are only ultimately trying to help and save you from listening to the wrong doctor(s) with your specific case. I know you are trying to get answers. Please realize many of your answers are right here.
My best regards and wishing you the best outcome to any of your decisions.
