TAH is probably a BAD idea. I've had one. The changes it will make in your
life are tremendous and your doctor won't tell you all of them. A few of the
changes that come with a TAH are: loss of orgasms (or at least a lessening of
their intensity) mood swings, forgetfullness (we call is brain fog) etc.
Also, doctors tend to tell you that they can make everything like it was
before with hormones. NOT TRUE! There is an internet support group for women
who are considering a hyst. It is free. I urge you to either contact them
at:
http://www.findings.net/sans-uteri-faq.html
This site will give you some information on the list itself and you can view
information and make an informed choice about whether or not to allow someone
to do this to you. If you do not have time to check out this list, the one
thing that seems to make a huge difference in whether your hyst. is a positive
or negative experience is whether or not you keep your ovaries. There is much
more I could tell you but this response would be too long. Please e-mail me
privately at samuels1@us.net and I will give you much more information.
