I'm getting a hysterectomy b/c I am kinda out of options in endometriosis treatment, and that's the main reason my gyno brought it up.
I've been asking for one since I got my period b/c, heh, the pain has been really bad for a long time, and i've made that desire known to everyone.
The main things that I've been sticking to when people question my choices are
the pain is limiting my functionality to do fucking anything. I'm in college rn, and i don't like missing class or having to cancel last min on people.
I've never wanted kids, and even if i change my mind (which I doubt), if my pain stays at this level or gets worse, I wouldn't be able to care for my children.
ive wanted a hysterectomy since I was like 12 or 13
the estrogen suppression is affecting my bones, I am in a lot of joint pain (last night I couldn't sleep because my knees hurt so much), so this will hopefully let me ease up, and my joints can stop hurting so much.
I hope this helps, and if you have more questions, feel free to dm me! happy to help people get the medical care they need
