I agree with Shebut, you know your own body better than anyone else. Also hystersisters is a great place for research and resources, helped me alot. I had hysto and would do it again in a heartbeat. I no longer get anemia, cramps and...my pms psycho symptoms have been lessened immensely (still have ovaries, even though they were cystic). I save a fortune every month as well No negative sexual side effects at all.
