I had a complete hysterectomy because the tamoxifen was causing my uterus to thicken and I was really afraid that I would get another cancer. Best decision I ever made,

I had hysterectomy at fifty...didn't notice any difference ...except I wanted to have sex more often!!! Teeheeee. For me it had been so painful..after the removed my uterus ...no more pain!! It was wonderful !! They took my ovaries at the same time..the perarion was performed vaginally...so healing process was shorter....less painful post op!!! Still was able have multiple orgasims just like before...once you get thru the menopausal symptoms you may need a little extra lubricant!!!
