My husband and I have been married for 6 yrs. We don't wish to have kids. We're both in our 30's now. What is your opinion on hysterectomy? I've been on a pill and am tired of that. Just want to be certain I will never get pregnant. Is it a risky surgery? Complications? I don't have health insurance, is the surgery costly or is there any government programs that provide this service free of charge? Please: only honest and serious answers.
I appreciate all the answers so far. Well I was thinking also in terms of no more periods, cramps, pimples, etc. Thought maybe without a uterus I wouldn't have these common women problems. Something to think about.

I wouldn't have a hysterectomy because that will put you into menopause. You'd be better off with a tubal ligation.

A hysterectomy has a lot more risks than a vasectomy. I don't think most doctors opt to perform hysterectomies unless it's a medical emergency. It's always easier to work on the man.

no because what if you divorce and separate and meet others and want children later? what if one of you has canver and servives, you may decide you want children then. plus, your other organs will fall not having the uterus to hold it up. you will have bladder problems among other things.
