I'm due to have a hysterectomy and an ovary removed, I'm concerned it'll make me gain weight and have mood swings.
Oophorectomy is a very simple procedure with very minimal down time. As for the hysterectomy that is much more invasive. Please keep your options open because I was diagnosed at 13 and told I'd never have children and so on, but I was blessed with 2 young boys, right after getting my right ovary removed (oophorectomy) (after 9 years, 11 surgeries later). I struggle with very painful menstrual cycles and such but was so worth the wait for my angels, if i had done the hysterectomy I'd never would have them obviously.
This is similar to myself not wanting to take hormone methods.
I'm not sure what other members experiences are on this forum regarding hysterectomy?...its a good question! Looking forward to reading experiences... Good luck 🤞 ♥ 🥰 with your operation xxxxxxxxxxxxx
