My name is Sally and this is my story. I’d suffered with my periods for many, many years; I had tried the pill, the coil & many various tablets to combat the pain & discomfort, nothing worked. Finally in August 2013 I was admitted to have the ‘Novasure’ laser treatment & was to be sterilised…
Thanks very much for all the emails which were very useful enhanced by the 101 hints in the book and the website. I didn’t have long to get my head round having a hysterectomy – the first time it was mentioned was 15 days before it happened so your emails, website and book provided much…
I had a TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) five weeks ago. I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 30 after a laparoscopy. Up to then what I had thought of as ‘the norm’ for periods was revealed to be exactly the opposite (awful pain, bleeding between periods, discolouration). My consultant stopped my periods after that…
Hi Ladies (and gentlemen) I had a TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) and BSO (bilaterial salpingo oophorectomy) on 3rd December 2012. As with many of us my route to a hysterectomy was long, painful and at times frustrating. I had been suffering with heavy periods for some years and had tried, unsuccessfully, to get some sort of…

My Mom, my God-mother and one of my best friends said I would never look back. They all said it was the best thing they ever did and that I would never look back. Mom was 35 when she had her hysterectomy after 2 children, my friend just 41 and sadly she had not been…
I was diagnosed at 29 with severe endometriosis. I was told if I had been 10 years older and had a family they would have done a hysterectomy then! Due to my age and having no family it was difficult to treat and over the years I had various non invasive treatments including seven laparoscopies,…
Just thought I would add my story to this long list of very helpful encouraging information. I had been suffering with heavy bleeding and anaemia for about 2 years. In January this year my husband noticed a lump above my pubic bone. I delayed going to the doctors because we were expecting 3 grandchildren to…
I am 42 and here is my story. I have had endometriosis for years. Two years ago I started to get a dull pain in my right side which was on and off and then became constant. I was referred to a gynaecologist who diagnosed a fibroid and also endometriosis and some cysts on my…
I had a TAH BSO (total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oophorectomy) basically everything removed because of fibroids.
