@endome Hello endome, thank you for starting this discussion. Let me tag some members who can maybe share their thoughts and experiences with you:

Hello all, how are you today?   Have you gone through surgery for your endometriosis? Did you decide to pursue a hysterectomy? What was either experience like? How was your recovery? Do you have any stories or advice to share with endome? Feel free to share here!

@endome I know in my case, my doctor wouldn't let me get a hysterectomy because I hadn't had children yet. Seemed kind of sexist to me, you know, my body, my choice? I feel like they don't bat an eye when men ask to get their tubes tied. 

@cristalis Thanks for the tag. I guess I can share an update on this. It was the same for me, my doctor really discouraged me from getting the hysterectomy because of my age so I ended up just going for an ablation. I was really nervous about the whole thing, especially the recovery because I'd heard it was awful. They put me under for it so I had to stay the night. I had bleeding and some really bad cramping after and they gave me some painkillers for it. And i couldn't work out or do any heavy lifting for about a week and a half afterward. I'm due for my annual checkup soon so I'm really praying that it hasn't grown back.
