Anonymous, your gynecologist sounds like the typical creep that can't even tell you what is wrong, but wants to amputate your uterus yesterday. They like to use scare tactics, like you might bleed to death, to manipulate you into the unnecessary surgery. If that doesn't work, then they also typically toss around the word "cancer". With the diagnostic tests available today, there is no mystery to what issues you may have. You are just being kept in the dark because he wants to remove your uterus because that's how he makes his living. Run the other direction! Before I was hysterectomized and castrated, I had light normal periods and awesome orgasms. What has replaced that is chronic pain, bloating and an inability to orgasm. My stomach and abdomen are so distorted from the mutilation that there no resemblance to what I used to look like. I've had up to 15-20 extreme hot flashes a day where I am just dripping wet, where prior to that I was always cold and very rarely got sweaty even when I was exercising. I've been an avid walker all my life, but after about a year, my joints started hurting so bad I could hardly walk where prior I never had a joint pain (didn't even know what it was). Not being able to hardly walk forced me to start using hormone therapy which I am still angry about because they come with their own set of risks and it's impossible to duplicate the intricate workings of your female sex organs. I don't feel well, but at least I can walk now. It's not a choice anyone should ever have to make. I'm sorry you are having so much pain and bleeding, but there is help out there that doesn't include mutilating you. Please save yourself. I would also suggest that you contact the HERS Foundation and learn what your condition is and what the alternatives are which include procedures and information that you will not hear from your doctor. Good luck, and take care. :-)
