The majority of 1,000 women who reported their experience with hysterectomy had "successful" surgery, it was not "botched". There is nothing biased or one sided about the Adverse Effects Data reported at http://www.hersfoundation.com/effects.html, the report includes women who had positive experience and women who did not. The data from every woman was entered exactly as it they reported it, in their words.

When a hysterectomy is performed with no complications, there are some structural, anatomical changes that occur in all women, and other physiological effects that occur in some but not all women.

For example, if you never experienced uterine orgasm, you have not lost it when your uterus is removed. If you never enjoyed sex, or were repulsed by it, you have not lost the immense pleasure of gratifying sex.

When the uterus is removed the broad bands of ligaments, nerves and blood supply that attach to the uterus are severed. The effect loss of pelvic support, loss of support to the bladder and the bowel, loss of sensation in the vagina, labia and clitoris. The vagina is shortened, sutured shut at the top, and made into a closed pocket.

If a woman who is experiencing "gut-wrenching" pain, as the previous comment described, she may experience less of the type of pain she now has if her female organs are removed, or the pain may be the same or worse. The majority of hysterectomized women who or reported their experience with hysterectomy to HERS who had suffered severe, unrelenting pain prior to the surgery , said if only they had known the consequences of hysterectomy and castration they would never have had the surgery.

Unfortunately, the clock cannot be turned back. It is important to learn the facts about the anatomical changes that occur after hysterectomy, and to evaluate whether you want to chance trading one set of known problems for another that may be far worse than what you are experiencing now.
