Another procedure is the tubal ligation, which my OB elected over a hysterectomy so that I would have some semblance of normalcy - whatever that was supposed to mean. It meant that I still had menstrual cycles, but would not become pregnant. This procedure was to ameliorate a lot of issues I had during child bearing and really horrid monthly cycles. Well, the horrid cycles remained, even worsened. But, another surgery (I already had 2 C-sections) was out of the question. Frankly, I was happy when menopause finally hit.
One of my younger sisters had a partial hysterectomy following a serious infection in her uterus. Sadly, she would never be able to bear children.
Whatever the procedure and for whatever reason, it's a difficult decision to make and life changing on a very emotional, as well as physical, level. There is even a little-known condition called Post Tubal Ligation, which is what I had.
