Annette:
If you don’t need the ovaries and you’re having a lot of problems, you should really talk to doctors about when it’s time to get them out. And my concern there is that many of these menstrual conditions occurred in women who were later diagnosed with ovarian cancer, that was my case. I had several D&Cs, I had a lot of bleeding, a lot of clotting, and that subject was never brought up to me at all, about having a hysterectomy.
So I think that if you’re at a place in your life where it’s something that is a reasonable alternative, I would encourage women to have the hysterectomy.
