Should my friend have a hysterectomy or simply a Loop electrosurgical excision procedure ?

She has to have the LOOP. But she is considering having a radical hysterectomy. Cancer runs in her family and she is not planning on having any more children. Any thoughts?


thank you!

You don't mention the problem she's having that a hysterectomy is an issue....but, if it's one of her options...and she's at a greater risk for cancer and she's done having kids....I'd have the hysterectomy.
Reply:If she is already having a surgery, why not have a hysterectomy now instead of another surgery down the road? I just had a radical hysterectomy, in fact still under doctors orders, The reason I had mine is because I had ovarian cysts that continually ruptured and caused a great deal of indescribable pain. after the surgery, the doctor came in and said that it was a good thing I had it done since my left ovaries, bowel and uterus were adhered together. Other than not being able to do anything, heavy lifting and driving, for a couple weeks it has so far been well worth it.
Reply:Honey I am sitting up here scared to death wishing that they would have taken my ovaries out when they did the hysterectomy. Now I have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have a high CA -125 reading. Tell her to take them out it's not worth it. My cousin died of ovarian cancer when she was 35. Go figure.
Reply:it really depends on her health. She can choose to have a hysterectomy but keep her Ovaries ,, But usually the doc's will suggest a LOOP first and then later on down the road if she needs something else to get a Partial Hysterectomy.





Either way she Has to do What is best for her.
