Um, there's partial hysterectomy. If the ovaries (or at least one ovary) are healthy and not expected to become unhealthy, they are left in place so as not to cause the hormonal issues associated with menopause.
No, there's partial hysterectomy where the ovaries are left but good luck finding a doctor to do that for you at 18. There's some serious drawbacks to having no uteris though. Prolapse of the vagina is fairly common, for example.
Something that may be more realistic for you is 'endometrial ablation'. Still, it impacts fertility so doctors may be reluctant to do it for you at 18, unless you have awful periods or a serious medical/genetic condition.
Thanks, though I don't know if I should remove my ovaries or not because I have Polycestic overian disease meaning my ovaries are bigger than average and there's a chance of getting uterus cancer if I don't go on something to help it, so idk if removing my ovaries would help or not.
Idk why doctors would be so concerned whether or not my vagina could pop out a kid or not, like we literally have 8 billion people on the earth already, I think it's time to stop lol. I could be infertile anyway, because I heard women that have the ovary disease are more likely to be infertile than a normal person.
No, it falls down (and sometimes out). Vaginal prolapse after hysterectomy happens because by removing the uterus, you remove structure. The uterus does more than house a baby, it literally holds shit up and together in there. It is a major part of your pelvic organ structure. Removal of the uterus is pretty serious and typically only done if medically necessary.
Endometrial ablation is basically burning the inside of the uterus causing it to not be able to collect blood (make a period) or allow a fertilized egg to attach. If you have miserable periods, which a lot of women with pcos do, this may be your best bet. For most women, it stops or seriously lightens periods and provides birth control. It is permanent though so doctors may not want to do it. Ethics. But if you have legit medical reason for it you should be able to get it done.
Removal of the ovaries doesn't help PCOS, it's an endocrine disorder.
Have you seen an endocrinologist? Seeing one helped me with mine way more than the dumbfuck gyno who literally didn't even look at me during our appointment.
Birth control damages a womans endocrine system and he probably was afraid to take a look at it because he took one look at YOU and feared a false rape allegation.
I've never even heard of a endocrinologist before, my GP just referred me to a gynecologist which was around two years ago but they didn't really help, I'm seeing another one this week though.
I'll look into seeing a endocrinologist though, idk if there are any around me but I'll try and find one. Thanks :o
Sounds like what happened with me. I only found out what they were when I started working for one. The contraceptive pill can help, but really, there are many other issues to consider, depending on your symptoms. I take a few different pills for the menstrual side of it and another for others. Plus, I finally got my thyroid problem diagnosed. My naturopath had said over a year before, but my GP wouldn't believe her...
I hope the new GYN helps and you can find a good endo. I'm assuming you're in the US? Good luck :/

No, not necessarily: removal of uterus will mean no periods but ovaries can remain so you don't go into premature menopause.
What's wrong with taking the contraceptive pill permanently?

It was a she.
I'll trust the endocrinologists over a retard with no job who abuses people online and thinks child rape is funny.
No.
