I found out that I have chronic pelvic/abdominal pain due to endometriosis. I'm in pain quite often, and the only thing that seems to relieve 90% of the pain are narcotic pain killers. I'm uncomfortable most of the time, and hardly do anything active because of the pain and discomfort. I have discussed the possibility of getting a hysterectomy with my fiancé, and he wants me to get one if it will increase my health and get rid of the pain.
I know there are other options to try first, but I really don't want to be on pills for the rest of my life, and the pain comes back after a year or so anyway. I personally feel that a hysterectomy would be the best option for me. We do want to get pregnant, but I fear being pregnant and having this disease will be too much, so we've decided that we will either adopt or plan on surrogacy.
I guess what I wanted to know is how you all feel about this and what your opinion was.
Thanks so much.
