Lauren experienced debilitating periods and pain during sex, prompting her to seek a hysterectomy from a young age. Despite doctors' concerns about her choice, she eventually underwent the procedure at age 31 and felt ecstatic afterward. Hysterectomies are often viewed negatively and as a last resort, yet 1 in 5 people with a uterus will have one by age 65. The procedure is now considered minimally invasive and can alleviate various reproductive health issues, with many patients reporting satisfaction post-surgery.
A hysterectomy is commonly viewed as a disaster, as something that happens to you rather than something you choose yourself. The procedure is often described as a last resort and one that may sever the patient from her sense of womanhood.
1 in 5 people born with a uterus will have it removed by the age of 65, and many among them will still be in their 'childbearing years.' Today, the procedure is much simpler and largely regarded by doctors as minimally invasive.
