Tara Rule says her doctor in upstate New York was “determined to protect a hypothetical fetus" instead of helping her treat debilitating pain.

    “Too risky” is such bullshit anyway. My OBGYN said that at my age (22), the only risks (aside from potential complications that come with ANY surgery) were a slightly early menopause (couple years max) and higher chance of vaginal prolapse (but that they put supports in place and there are things that can be done to correct this if it occurs)

      Right?? That’s pretty much what it seemed like to me too. No doctor really wanted to go into it except one mentioned that “any surgery with anesthesia can be dangerous!” and I remember I ditched that doctor on the first visit. I think a lot of it is rural areas have… less than great doctors.

      Most of my doctor hopping was at least 9 months ago now so it all kinda just blurs together now.

        Just had my hysterectomy yesterday morning. The paperwork for the anesthesia had more warnings about potential dangers than the actual procedure itself.

        Turns out I had endometriosis on my fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries, and even on my bladder (where it was causing scarring). I hope you are able to get answers and relief for your issues soon as well.
