Hi, I'm 32yrs old and have been having ongoing problems when it come to my ovaries and tubes. 1 week ago I was told that i have a cyst bigger than the size of a baseball and that I would have to have it removed through surgery. my questions is, that in the past year and a half i have had 3 surgeries because of how severely damaged my ovaries and tubes are. I was told that a sugery date has been scheduled for me next month and that I need to decided if I just want to remove the cyst or the ovary and the cyst or both plus my uterus because of allthe pain I am in most of the time. I know I don't want to have any more children since I already have a 15yr old and a 17yr old but the doctor is scaring me because i am so young and requesting to have this done. Is there anyone out there that can tell me of there experience after having a complete hyterctomy ( uterus, ovaries, and tubes) removed, Did you experience vaginal dryness, severe hot flashes, weight gain, ect?????
