Hysterectomy to stop my painful periods, advice welcome!

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hello, my name is Chloe and I am 30 years old. since I first started my periods, they have been incredibly painful and heavy. I feel that I have struggled for so long and after numerous contraceptive treatments, pain killers, ultra sounds and internal examinations I have been left with no answers. I feel like compared to other women, I am just a wimp because I cant deal with my periods when there is clinically nothing wrong with me. There is no sign of endometreosis or fibroids and the doctors have said that there is nothing more they can offer me. I want to stop my periods because in every job I've had, I am always taking 2-3 days off sick every month because of the pain. It is so bad that if I am forced to go to work then I am on the floor screaming and crying in pain 😦 I move from job to job as this is embarassing, unprofessional and sooner or later I am having disciplinerys for having too much time off. I've always had a high pain threshold but I have never been able to control this pain. The blood clots I pass are large and with 2 of the nightime super absorbent pads I end up leaking through my trousers every couple of hours. I would like a hysterectomy to stop my periods but I worry that I would be ending one problem and then having to deal with a bigger problem ultimately if I went through with the surgery. I would really like to hear peoples stories and if a hysterectomy helped them or if they regretted it.
