I read as much as possible before my hysterectomy. I trusted my female OBGYN. I read horror stories and thought that those women were so far out in left field that nothing remotely possibly that bad could happen to me. I am now living a nightmare that I can’t escape from. If you think that bad things won’t happen from your hysterectomy think again. Look at the percentages, it very well could be you. How much longer till we stop this madness? One third of all women will eventually have a hyst? How do we stop this? |

Dear Dr. del Junco: I have read through your messages to patients with adenomyosis. I am an RN with a diagnosis of adenomyosis, and I am dead set against a hysterectomy. I live in Florida, and would love to be treated by you, but the logistics for my family (two girls ages 10 & 13, and one husband who travels in his job) make it very difficult. Are there any endometriosis specialty ob/gyn physicians in the state of Florida who share your philosophies and treatment options? Please let me know – I feel that I am reaching the end of my rope as so many days of my month (at least two weeks) are spent in pain, and bloating – but I will not have a hysterectomy. Help! and Thank You. |

Dear Doctor, My wife is facing the problem and our doctor gave us three choices. Remove the whole thing(Uterus/Cervix), remove only the fibroid, remove the uterus/fibroid leave the cervix. We really have no idea what to do. Do we need to consult another doctor? I am lucky I found your website. My wife read no English. So I have to do the research for her. We live in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you |

Dear Dr. Deljunco, Today I had a ca125 test done as you suggested for an ovarian cyst. The count was high but the doctor said this could also be due to fibroids. Additionally, he did do a blood test to check my blood for cancer and there was no cancer in the blood. This is the second OB/GYN doctor I have been to. Both doctors have stated I do have a cyst and one stated I have fibroids as my periods for the past two have been jelly clots and for the past three months have been abnormal occuring 50 days apart. |

Dear Hester- The cost of a hysterectomy varies across the country, but it is significantly easier to remove a uterus than to remove cysts/tumors and reconstruct organs. Many surgeons are not trained to do this type of intricate work, nor wish to take the time. I am not familiar with anyone in the Florida area doing reconstructive pelvic surgery. Our Institute is the only location in the U.S currently performing laser FAS. Do not let them unnecessarily remove your organs. Good Luck |

Im 26 years old and am no longer having children. About a year and a half ago I started to have extreme pain in my pelvic area so I went to my doctor and he put me on vicaden but it wasnt helping so he did a laposcoptic surgary and said I have adenomyosis and my only option was a hysterectamy. I wanted a second opinion so I went to UCDavis and saw a OB/GYN there she only did a pelvic exam and talked about my history and decided that was my best option. So after that I had a blessing from my bishop and my pain went away for about 6 months when it came back the pain wasnt as bad but I now had a new problem. Every time I had my period I would start to hemerage and have to go to the hospital and get a shot. I started to get worried about long term effects and at the time I set the date to have a hysterectamy, But the day before I backed out. My question to you then is, Do you think there is a better option out there for me? As good as it sounds to not have periods Im worried about long term effects of the hystarectamy. Thank you for your time. |

I’m 52 years old. I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids;I do not have any of the syntoms that associates with fibroids. My doctor recomeds I should have an hystorectomy due to my age. He said it will be the removal of the uterus and possibly the ovaries if they are affected. Said he has no way of knowing if the ovaries are affected until he goes in. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

I have fibroids as of last year, sized 9.5cm and 6cm. They may have grown larger in the year since diagnosed. My doctor is wanting to remove ovaries and cervix and uterus. I am 51 years old and practice 2 hours of yoga six times a week. I am very strong and healthy otherwise. I do have low back pain that may be due to this. I have a very healthy and pleasurable sex life that is very important to me. |
