I'm Done I Want To Ask For A Hysterectomy - Am I Being Unreasonable ?

I would value your advice as DH does not really understand - and how could he I get that. I am 54 years old and suffered severe menstrual migraines through my entire 20s and 30s. I have had ops for ovarian cysts in the past and an op to check to see that I didn't have ovarian cancer 7 years ago because my cancer marker C125 was too high. Luckily it was ok. My periods have always been really heavy - in peri they were hard to manage and I had an ablation which didn't work. Not good with synthetic hormones (depression) and resisted a mirena coil. Had a copper coil and ended up in hospital with heavy bleeding. Had two shots of Provera to stop bleeding in peri. have had a total of 5 hysteroscopies and 3 biopsies for endometrial cancer because of abnormal bleeding. Following all this I stopped bleeding for a year and then started again (menopause). GP sent me to hospital where they did a scan and found lining was slightly thickened. They then did a biopsy for which I am waiting of the result. The Consultant thought it was likely to be straight forward endometrial thickening without cancer but all this freaks me out and I don't want more biopsies and scans in the future. I want a hysterectomy so I can move on with my life is that unreasonable do you think?

Yanbu. I had terrible heavy nearly non-stop periods when I was about 40 and docs had to cancel an endometrial ablation when a hitherto unseen fibroid was found (later removed). As I expected, things became very bad again in a few months and I really wanted a hysterectomy. Went to GP again, ready to fight for it and he just looked at me and said, "I expect you just want to get rid of it all, don't you?" YES. Best thing I ever did. No regrets. Just tell them what you want and stick to your guns.
