Dear Laura, If you want to have children someday, Do not let them remove the female organs. Only if it is cancer. I don't mean to scare you with that, but only if it is cancer should you let them remove the female organs. I honestly believe that there is so much they can do for infertility nowadays. You are so young and if you want a family, make that very clear to your Doctor. I have 2 daughters 7 1/2 years apart (one is 19, the other 11) I had endometriosis for years and then because of the surgeries for the endo I of course got the adhesions. So for more years it was the adhesions. My doctor finally talked me into the Hysterectomy when my youngest daughter was 5. I have regretted it ever since. I always wanted a 3rd child, and hopefully it would have been a son. But I am too old now, 41, and what is done is done. I was told that I would probably never get pregnant with the second child. I had surgeries, I had infertility tests, shots, more tests, and 5 years later I got her. I prayed so hard and if you believe in God, Laura, anything is possible. It sounds like just those painful old adhesions that we all have suffered from. Those can be removed. I don't mean to jump up on my soapbox, Laura, but if you really want a family someday, you deserve a family someday, don't ever give up on that. They are truly a gift from God. And the best thing that will ever happen to you. Don't give up, you are too young. And remember Laura, just because you were to have a hysterectomy doesn't mean the adhesions are gonna go away. Chances are very, very good they will return, unless it's done by a very skilled surgeon experienced with adhesions. So listen what I am saying, Don't deny yourself the chance to one day be a terrific mom, if that is what you want. It can happen. Your friend, Tami
