Hysterectomy at 19? Dysmenorrhea problem
I’m a 19 year old female who’s had dysmenorrhea since I’ve started puberty (around 9yrs old). I’ve tried Naproxen, birth control (pills and IUD, which I’m currently on) and nothing is working to stop the pain I feel every month. With the IUD I feel cramps almost everyday. I wanted to know if getting a hysterectomy will help me fix this problem and if doctors will let me have one at an early age.
Hello
Sorry to hear this. If u are considering operation at this stage I can understand how painful the condition is. What is the cause for the pain? If it is because of endometriosis u can try tablets like Dienogest to decrease the pain. They are very effective. U can even get the IUD removed. Ideally Doctors won't be able to do hysterectomy for some one as young as 19.
Good luck.
