[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 186844"] I have endometriosis and like Mstang have done the lapraoscopy and the lupron (the drug induced menopause) and now take synthetic progestin to stop my periods and to keep my estrogen levels low. My gyn has recommended a hysterectomy because the endometriosis came back and the only cure is a full hysterectomy - ovaries, too. She said I would regret it - [I]in my case[/I] - if I left the ovaries. And that's the only reason I won't do it. I've been through the instant menopause and have NO desire to do that again. The aygestin (synthetic progestin) has worked wonders for me. Plus, with my heart disease I cannot take estrogen so I wouldn't be able to do HRT. Although, I have a sneaking suspicion I'm in perimenopause already and my GP said to go ahead and have the endocrinologist test for that when I see him. I'm only 35!!! I don't know what the reason is for your hysterectomy, but if the doctor says to leave the ovaries, leave them. Seriously. [/QUOTE]
