I carry a gene that makes me susceptible to various cancers including the womb and ovary so will be having a full hysterectomy in 2 weeks to reduce my risk. Im only 40 so very worried about work, recovery (vaginal op hopefully) but mostly am I going to turn into an old lady overnight? Will sex be anything like the same without a cervix? Will I suffer a prolapse? I have a weak pelvic floor already. I will start on a low dose of HRT but so scared it won't be enough, will have vaginal oestrogen cream too. If anyone has had a similar experience I could do with some honest advice/support right now! V.scared!
