@rangerrebewHad hysterectomy, including taking out ovaries, in my 40s. My female organs had started increasing in size, then pain started. Gynecologist said it all needs to come out as it could be, or could become, cancerous. I remember coming home from my office and telling husband, I'm ready for this operation right now - the pain had become too much. Had the surgery and the parts were sent to be checked for cancer and none was there. Doc started me immediately after surgery, on estrogen so I wouldn't go through menopause problems.
So, I didn't have a choice - it had to be done.
An aside: This was during the time donated blood was found to be unsafe due to people with Aids giving blood. Doc told me he was not going to give me blood due to some blood was tainted with Aids. The area of the female organs are fed with many blood vessels as they are needed for developing a baby. When I woke from the surgery, doc said I had enough bleeding that I should have had blood but he wouldn't do it, so it would take me longer to get over the surgery. That was fine with me, I didn't want to take a chance of getting Aids blood.
