I'm 30, married, dont want kids. Would you undergo hysterectomy?

My husband and I have been married for 6 yrs. We don't wish to have kids. We're both in our 30's now. What is your opinion on hysterectomy? I've been on a pill and am tired of that. Just want to be certain I will never get pregnant. Is it a risky surgery? Complications? I don't have health insurance, is the surgery costly or is there any government programs that provide this service free of charge? Please: only honest and serious answers.

You might want to look into a procedure called Novasure. you can get details at www.novasure.com.

This procedure is used for heavy periods but I know several women that had it done as a means of birth control.

Essentially it is endometrial ablation. From my understanding, a small device is inserted into the uterus and it "burns" the uterine lining, causing scarring. Eggs can no longer attach and you no longer shed the lining so no more periods! It's a minor procedure with minimal discomfort and you will not got through early menopause as your organs and hormones are still in tact.

It is still something to consider wisely as it is permanent and of course has some risks. Ask around, do some research, but this might be a good option! Good luck Source(s): www.novasure.com

I wouldn't have a hysterectomy because that will put you into menopause. You'd be better off with a tubal ligation.
hysterectomy is not the way to go. you will never feel the same. just get your tubes tied. or try that new birthcontrol called Nuvaring. go to www.nuvaring.com.
you will never have so many big O's in one night i promise.
God no. I went through a hysterectomy when I was 28 years old because of health reasons. You have no idea how it changes your hormone levels. Your vagina dries out, and you go through premature menopause. The surgery is over $10,000 without insurance, and that doesn't count what the doctor charges you. I have had hot flashes for the past 20 years. I promise you, it is miserable even with hormone replacement therapy. The surgeon who did mine, left my ovaries, and it still was traumatic for my body.
no because what if you divorce and separate and meet others and want children later? what if one of you has canver and servives, you may decide you want children then. plus, your other organs will fall not having the uterus to hold it up. you will have bladder problems among other things.
That's very, very extreme...I think tubal litigation is better...and no, I don't think it'll be free if there's nothing "wrong" with you, but I don't know where you live.
