So four and a half years ago I gave birth to my wonderful son. I suffered a cervical prolapse that I had physio therapy for. It never went back fully but was told to keep up with pelvic floor exercises which I have. Sex is usually an uncomfortable if not downright painful affair.
After a few unsuccessful pregnancies I have no fallopian tubes left and therefore cannot have any more children. Since my tubes have been removed I suffer from extreme ovulation pain for 48hrs each monthh which leaves me struggling to sit down, in sharp pains at either side I'm ovulation and struggling to pass a bowel movement due to discomfort and cervical prolapse seems to feel lower and heavier.
Taking into account I'm 32yrs old, cannot have children, find sex painful, have horrendous ovulation pains do you think a doctor will take my request to have a hysterectomy seriously?
I've looked into it in great detail. I believe it could go a long way into making me feel normal again. I understand it'd be a big op and tough recovery, but I'm young, I want to enjoy my sex life with my hubby, I dont want to spend 48 hours every month in agony, I just want to feel like a normal woman.
Its not like its taking away the option of having kids? I understand the NHS doesn't want to spend money unnecessarily but do you think they would consider me?
