He’s just worried about complications!!??

Anything is better than constant pain and bleeding right ????

I had a full abdominal hysterectomy over ten years ago in my 40s

BEST THING EVER

Yes, recovery is hard for about 12 weeks or so, but it’s really worth it. No regrets here.

Take it very easy for the first few weeks, just a few short walks to start with. You’ll be more tired than you think, so do less than you think you should.

Good luck

Any regrets plz?
