I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Have you been diagnosed or have symptoms (besides the cysts) of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) such as excess body and facial hair, acne or oily skin, being overweight or tendency to gain easily, irregular periods? I have read that the cysts of PCOS don't generally cause pain or discomfort but don't know if that is true in all cases.
Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) is a very serious surgery with long-term progressive harm even when the ovaries are not removed. The uterus and its ligaments are so important to our anatomy. The lligaments are the pelvis' support structures. When they are cut to remove the uterus, the skeletal integrity of the spine, hips, and rib cage is compromised which alters a woman's figure and causes back and hip problems down the road, problems for which there is no fix.
The uterus is a "place holder" for the bladder and bowel. Once it is removed, the bladder and bowel descend leading to future problems including prolapse as well as bladder and bowel incontinence. I have had major bowel issues as well as some bladder issues ever since my hysterectomy 10 years ago.
Many women complain of loss of sexual desire and ability to orgasm after hysterectomy regardless of whether or not the ovaries are removed. The uterus is the biggest player in orgasm for some women and, speaking from experience, clitoral orgasms are a disappointment in comparison if and when they happen. The loss of desire is a huge loss for me. And I was much older than you...49 when I had my surgery.
Our ovaries are vital to good health our whole lives. They do NOT shut down at menopause. Studies show they continue producing hormones our whole lives. Numerous studies show that their removal or loss of normal function following hysterectomy is a recipe for abnormal aging and is associated with an increased risk for a number of health problems including heart disease (the #1 killer of women), osteoporosis, dementia, Parkinson's, memory and cognitive impairment, mood disorders, sleep problems, visual changes, skin changes, sexual dysfunction (those are the ones I recall off the top of my head). You can find the studies in PubMed by searching for "bilateral oophorectomy long term health." There is also a gynreform website that I believe has a comprehensive list.
Hysterectomy is grossly overused with only about 10% being necessary. Many women have ovaries removed unnecessarily too despite a woman's lifetime risk of ovarian cancer being LESS THAN 2%.
My surgery was 10 years ago at age 49 and not a moment goes by that I don't regret it big time. I am still shocked how quickly I aged in a matter of months.
Please do your research and seek out a doctor (not necessarily a gynecologist) who admits to the importance of our organs and does not profit from removing them. It's possible you have some sort of endocrine / metabolic abnormality (such as thyroid, pituitary, adrenal) that needs to be addressed. Have you worked with a primary care physician or an endocrinologist (maybe even a reproductive endocrinologist)?
Wishing you the best in getting help that restores your health versus creating a whole new set of problems. Please post back and let us know how this all goes.
