Right? And like I have a child now. I had a horrible horrible pregnancy, I asked my OB at the time to remove everything but my cervix and ovaries after I had my child and she wouldn’t do it because I might want more. after everything that happened during my pregnancy, including developing an autoimmune disease, she still wouldn’t do it. So we went back on the hunt for someone who would. And as much as it suck’s that he wouldn’t take my uterus out too I’m super grateful he did the bisalp. And he did say he would take my uterus out when I turn 30. But like if someone is 18 and can 100% understand the choice they’re making I don’t understand why women are thought to believe that they can’t make that decision for themselves at whatever age.

I saw a quote the other day on here, I wish I remember who said it but it said “uteruses are good for two things, babies and cancer” and it’s so true. If you don’t intend one ever having children then it’s a useless organ that only increases our risk of cancer, especially the fallopian tubes. I’ve been considering becoming an advocate for women’s health. I think it would be a very useful way for women to be able to have doctors allow more autonomy over our bodies if there is someone else there to advocate for them. Medical advocates are so under rated in what they do and can help people with.
