Removing uterus is a serious surgery that could affect so many other organs. It’s not about a man. Doctors don’t want to perform dangerous surgeries. Too much risk for your health and life.

I agree it’s your choice but someone would have to perform this surgery and if it’s not medically necessarily they might not be able to

But have you talked to your ob/gyn or GP about possibly trying some treatments? Are your periods very heavy or it just affects you in different ways? My daughter was finally diagnosed with adenomyosis after years of suffering. It explained many things

I understand you don’t care if it’s dangerous. I am just saying that doctors usually care if something is dangerous, that’s why they might hesitate removing vital organs. Yes you should talk to a doctor. See if they can help

They won't do it unless its medically necessary or you're trans.

It saved my mental health but now I'm having a host of physical issues 2.5 years later.

If it's PMS/PMDD/period related issues, there are certain birth control options that can help. I didn't have a period at all for the years I was on Nexplanon (the arm implant). Have an IUD now though (Lileta) and it kinda sucks because I am a she-devil for two weeks then have like a ten day period, and then a few days of not being a slave to hormones or making sure I am supplied and have access to a bathroom every four hours.

Maybe it's dramatic......maybe it's menstrual lmao

Removing your uterus would give you even worse problems to deal with. The lack of hormones cause the body even worse problems that you wouldn't like any more than the problems you have now. Much better to talk over the problems you are having with your MD & come up with a real workable solution that doesn't cause you even worse problems

Either way I'm sick of it messing with my head I'm honestly fed up with the medical system in gonna go see a naturopath maybe they have better treatments that won't give me so many side effects. I'm gonna try and get them to treat my depression too the constipation I have is so chronic it makes me 10cms larger than normal and can't be good for my digestive system either.

I totally agree with the naturpath idea. I have so many bad side effects to pharma meds I don't even bother any more. You do know that if you are on meds, a possible side effect can be constipation too. Worth checking that as possible side effect.

Yes the constipation is Pristiq and I went to the gastroenterologist and he said the same that I might need to try another antidepressants only problem is conventional medicine doesn't work on me. Either give me problems or doesn't work at all. I'm starting to think big pharma is bad and just want to go to the naturopath. I've now used naturopathic ways to lower my cholesterol. Just sick of conventional medicine it hasn't worked for me and big pharma has injured lots of people. I just wish doctors weren't so arrogant in thinking that natural medicine is worthless. I've found more help with natural stuff then SSRIs and snris.

Exactly, I even have bad side effects to antibiotics.....& some over the counter things.

I had a pdoc where I lived before that was into alternative meds & because of my horrible side effects he finally went with omega-3 EPA 1800 mg/day. DHA is good for heart & mind. I am good now i left that situation I was living in but always good to know what naturally helps. I don't go to MD's because all they do is throw big pharma meds at you then another to counter the side effect the first one causes. I am healthier now than ever before. I totally understand what you are saying

You probably do not know the history of this procedure. It was a major achievement in the United States when doctors stopped performing routine and unnecessary hysterectormies in women of a certain age and parity. You need the uterus to maintain order in the whole pelvic floor area. It is not some optional organ but an integral part of the whole system.

Here is what Google's generative artificial intelligence says in summarizing the search results it scans, with the caveat that Google AI's generations might make mistakes and should be verified. More often than not, though, they summarize search results well enough to at least give you a general idea of authoritative relevant information out there.

hysterectomy is a common gynecological surgical procedure that can have several long-term risks, including:
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP): A rare risk that occurs when pelvic organs drop into an abnormal position. Hysterectomy can weaken the pelvic floor, increasing the risk of POP. Women with a history of pelvic prolapse or multiple abdominal surgeries may be at higher risk.
Urinary incontinence: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Bowel dysfunction: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Sexual function: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Pelvic organ fistula formation: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Cardiovascular events: A possible association with hysterectomy
Certain cancers: A possible association with hysterectomy
Need for further surgery: A possible association with hysterectomy
Early ovarian failure and menopause: A possible association with hysterectomy
Depression: A possible association with hysterectomy

Here is a 1997 article from the New York Times covering the history and the debate. I have just scanned the beginning paragraph and it appears exactly what you need to read to place this procedure in its historical context.
