                        Hi,    Read your messg. about total hysterectomy.  I had a complete when I was 27 and am how 60.  Have been on Premarin ever since.  I had endometriosis and a lot of pain and terrible periods.  I have never looked back and never regretted having the surgery.  I have had all those pain free years.  I have never wanted to have children so that wasn't a factor. Doctors never recommend it because if they are usually men, they don't have a clue what we are going through.  There weren't as many women doctors when I had mine.  However, as I said, I really don't regret it at all.  Good luck in whatever you decide.
