Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry about your mother, and you brought up important points; i.e., the problems she realizes now have stemmed from her Hyst., and I can surely relate. I had a Hyst. the very end of 2003. I was once an extremely, social, vibrant female. I am a recluse now and ever since the Hyst.. I also have RSD, had it before the Hyst., and it is a nerve disease/syndrome. The GYN who scared me into having the Hyst. for two fibroids in my uterus was aware I had RSD. He should have considered every other alternative; especially, with me. People with RSD should avoid surgery whenever they can. He, as a doctor, should have known this. My main points are with you sharing are: I understand with what you say about your mother. I also agree with you with women saying their sexual feelings are the same if not better. I had fantastic orgasms and sexual drive before my Hyst., and this angers me; as my own doctor said my sexual drive would not change. Bologne! I am sorry, but the women who say all is fine must not have had, in my opinion, those fantastic uterine orgasms or would even notice a change. Well, I certainly did, and my husband sees this too. He is angry, and he has every right to be. He sat there and listened to this doctor say this to us prior to my surgery. I promoted making love with my husband before. I have no desire for making love now. This is HUGE, and I think doctors pass this off as a consideration of one of the negative outcomes by having a Hyst.. I have said it before, and will say it again - this would not happen to men. Every alternative would be recommended to save their 'sexual organs'. Why is this not the same standard for females. Think long and hard about this everyone. I will debate anyone who says differently. I can speak with experience now.
On a final note - too many women out there are afraid to speak up about this also. It is a 'personal' thing with some women. Some women - it has to do with their generation, and one just does not discuss such things. But, Anon - you can sense with your mother that her ill effects she now lives with were caused by her Hyst., but she cannot speak up about it, I think. She is a brave woman. I can sense that...
You sound like a daughter who truly cares about her. Give her a big hug from me, and tell her a comrade says 'Hang in There', and she is not alone, and her plight is shared by millions of women. These doctors must be stopped with getting away with this, and it should have been 'Yesterday'.
