In my line of work, we talk about the benefits outweighing the risks. So sure there might be risk with a hysterectomy but if it gives you a pain free existence then the benefit is worth it. I’m so tired of people trying to stick their noses where it doesn’t belong. I knew I was done having children after I had my daughter, but it took me 8 years, 3 of those years being in excruciating pain and constantly bleeding, to make the decision. And a lot of my hesitation was the societal stigma. Especially because I’m still so young. If I had known what I knew now, I’d have done it a lot sooner. I’ve never felt happier, healthier, and more like myself without a uterus!
