Reply to "Hysterectomy recommended with Pouch removal ?"

What is the opinion of your GYN on this? Fibroids and polyps may contribute to pelvic pain, but it is not a given. If your GYN considers a hysterectomy reasonable at the time of pouch removal, if your are headed in that direction ultimately, That would help me be more on board. I am all in favor of making use of anesthesia and “being in the area,” but only if it is indicated. To be sure, doing both at once would be much more simplified. Adhesions may even be so advanced that there may be bo choice other than including a hysterctomy. I do recall that I was told a hysterectomy might be needed during pouch construction if there were large fibroids making the uterus impossible to work around.

You can go on HRT if at least one ovary cannot be salvaged. You do not need both.
