Default Has any one had a hysterectomy in their early 30's due to painful menstrual cycle?

I am a 30 year old mom with three kids and my tubes are tied. I have very painful heavy menstrual cycle every month. My doctor has talked to me about gettting a hysterectomy and because my insurance will pay for it, I could get a tummy tuck and just pay for the physician fee for the tummy tuck and the hospital stay will be covered under my insurance for my hysterectomy. So I guess its like two in one. Is it worth it? It sounds good to only pay for the physician fee for the tummy tuck and not all the anesthetic and hospital stay. All the rest the insurance will cover it, but I am scared of the side effects of a hysterectomy. I hear all kinds of horror stories, like deep depression, growing facial hair stuff like that. Any advice?
oh wow....I didn't know it was fraud. I figure he knew what he was talking about.

My mother in law had a hysterectomy done at around your age because of painful menstrual cycles, she was always in pain..
After the hyst she felt alot better, her pain was gone and she was much happier..
She does have facial hair but not because of the hysterectomy but because she has polycistic ovarian disorder, and it is also common to gain alot of weight after the hyst...

If you have cancer, a hysterectomy might be the only option. But if you have uterine fibroids, endometriosis or uterine prolapse, there are other treatments you can try first.

Drug therapy. Certain medications may lighten heavy uterine bleeding or correct uterine bleeding that is not regular. Certain medications can help with endometriosis.

Endometrial ablation. If you have heavy or irregular uterine bleeding, this procedure might ease your symptoms. With a special device, a doctor uses electricity, heat, or cold to destroy the lining of your uterus and stop uterine bleeding.
Uterine artery embolization. For treating fibroid, this procedure involves blocking the blood supply to the tumors. Without blood, the fibroids shrink over time, which can reduce pain and heavy bleeding.

Myomectomy. If you have fibroid tumors, this surgical procedure removes the tumors while leaving your uterus intact. There's a risk that the tumors could come back.

Vaginal pessary. This is an object inserted into the vagina to hold the womb in place. It may be used as a temporary or permanent form of treatment. Vaginal pessaries come in many shapes and sizes, and they must be fitted for each woman individually.

Talk to your doctor about nonsurgical treatments to try first. Doing so is really important if the recommendation for a hysterectomy is for a reason other than cancer.

So talk to your doctor if you still feel that having a hysterectomy done would be a better choice then go ahead, it's all up to you hun...
Hope i helped
Good luck!

I haven't had mine yet, although I just turned 30 myself and have same symptoms, but am rescheduled for the 11th. I have tried several bc pills, as well as Provera and it's only gotten worse. Had a D&C a little over a month ago and didn't change things really.
