Hello everyone.
My fiance and I have been together for about 6.5 years and have a 4 year old son.
Last year she was diagnosed with endometriosis. She has tried a variety of birth control & drugs to get it under control but they do not appear to be working. She had surgery last November, but that only helped for a few months.
For the past year sex has been generally painful for her. Sometimes she even doubles over in pain just going about her business.
We have been discussing her getting a hysterectomy. There are 2 concerns I have:
1) Obviously this would mean no more children. We always planned on having at least 2, however she has not been on birth control since the birth of our son and obviously has not gotten pregnant in 4 years. We can accept that and consider ourselves lucky to have our little guy.
2) I've heard "horror" stories of women "aging overnight" and/or losing their sex drives due to the lack of hormones. She is 27 and I am 28, neither of us want to have the sex life of a 75 year old couple if you know what I mean.
So, for you ladies that have had a hysterectomy - how has it impacted your sex drive and life? And men in a relationship with a woman who had a hysterectomy, how would you say it has impacted things?
Thanks everyone!
