Re: Been a while (long email)/historectomy

[Guest guest]

-I have endometriosis. I am 30 now and symptoms got real bad when I

was 28. I was ready to have it all taken out. My gynocologist would

not even think about it until I tried treatments. My husband had a

vasectomy done so I am not having more kids, even if I ever get

remarried. He felt it would be a mess on my hormone system. Its a

good dang thing the birth control therapy worked. If you feel a

hysterctomy is necessary keep bugging your gyn. If that doesnt work

go to another one. Just remember there may be side effects with your

hormonal system.
