Dr. Recommends Hysterectomy And I’m Nervous

Hey All. Im feeling a little anxious because it looks like I should have a hysterectomy. I have extremely debilitating periods. So bad that I dont leave my house when I have it. I have fibroids and my bleeding is so heavy Im anemic. I can only use pads. I already have 1 child and it doesn’t look like I’ll be having more. My husband and I tried to conceive but we were unsuccessful. Part of me wants to do it to alleviate some of my discomfort and be free from the debilitating periods but Im also scared because of the finality of it. We’ve tried the pill and iud but my body doesn’t do well with the hormones. My ovaries will stay but my cervix and uterus will be removed. I was scheduled for surgery 9/12 but I cancelled because Im nervous. Im thinking of going through with it after the new year. Im also afraid that sex wont be the same. Plus there will be no reason to keep this app anymore. Has anyone gone through with this? Has it been recommended to anyone? If so I would love to hear about your experience. Im posting anonymously because I feel embarrassed about potentially losing part of my femininity. I know its silly but Im just really bothered by all of this. Thanks for reading.
