oopherectomy vs. hysterectomy
I just asked my OBGYN yesterday why she only took my ovaries and not the rest. She said that a hysterectomy was much more involved, bigger scar, longer recovery and unnecessary. As long as you are not over weight and there are no fibroids and are in general good health there is no need to do the hysterectomy. I was dx at age 36. I got 2 lupron shots and decided to get my ovaries removed instead. That drug was wicked. I hope some of this helps.. Sally
