Voluntary hysterectomy.

[Fizzwhizz2020]

I feel desperately sorry for you suffering so much with your periods. There must be something that they can do to help to help reduce the bleeding/symptoms.
I’m not sure if they’d give you a hysterectomy so young and hysterectomy’s can be horrendous. My friend had to have one at 37 due to cancer and it’s basically put her into shock menopause. On top of that you end up with thinning hair, everything is dry, especially down there, so she has constant infections and has to insert special tablets daily. Not to mention the bone density loss and other issues it can bring, it’s certainly not a solve all as it can lead to other problems. Because at 20 your body is still full of hormones, a hysterectomy would likely not be done. I really hope you can get some help. Sometimes because we are women at periods are deemed natural, we’re expected just to get on with it. It might be worth going to see an endocrine specialist who could maybe help balance out the hormones or as some commenters have said, a coil fitted x

I am in medical induced menopause at 32 and it’s really not easy either. A hysterectomy would put you into early menopause aswell. You would have to take a strong HRT to get the hormones into your body until you are around 50ish as your body would not be able to create these itself when in menopause. You would also have to remain on this to prevent things like osteoporosis. You would also have to get bone density checks.

I don’t say the above to frighten you. I just would worry that the problems you are experiencing now would just be replaced by other problems after the hysterectomy which wouldn’t be the outcome I would want for you. Please push push push your gp to do more investigations. Your so young and have a great life ahead of you I’m sure

I'm sorry to hear you are suffering like this. I started early menopause at 37. I am now 41. The first two years of peri-menopause where horrendous. Took me 2 years to get my HRT meds right. My periods, which have stopped now, where worse than anything I had before. I started suffering anxiety and bad panic attacks that I had never suffered before. My mood and my thoughts were scary at times and I felt suicidal a few times. I don't want to scare you with this and some people do go through the menopause with little or no problems but early menopause is different as your body is not ready for it. It is a lot to think about and it is your body but you really need to think about what comes after as it would not fix everything.
