yes hormones can effect your weight in either way (losing or gaining pounds)...if it is more than just a minimum amount, talk to a doctor just to be sure.

I was put on BC about 3 years ago bc my period was irregular. im regular now but they said it is a very common problem and it should not affect having children. I know someone very close to me and he doc said that she would never be able to have children bc she had cysts all over her ovary and now she has a beautiful, healthy baby girl

The best "sight" would be in the face of a great gynecologist--one who is very experienced with 10+ years, preferably a female gyn.  A great one may confirm that is it rare, but not impossible at age 29, or that you just have something else.  The suddenly on/off, heavy/light, short/long, etc., spotting might be perfectly normal, but if there's another reason, it is paramount that you follow the advice of that great gyn.  Don't be afraid to ask how long any have been a gyn; it's to be expected, and if any gets upset, you don't want them to work with your body anyway.  Additionally, try to breathe easily while you research on the internet and READ ALL THE SITES for all the information out there because they're not designed just for YOU, but for everyone to get those parts that are applicable to her and ignore those that aren't.  Your body won't necessarily follow the IDENTICAL path in this area that others do.  Each can be very different, like yours seem to be.  It would be interesting to know how you determined those "12-15 signs," but try not to believe those relatives and friends until you see that great gyn.  If necessary, see up to 5, like I did with my uterine tumors; the 5th one was the only one with the CORRECT diagnosis and treatment!  Try not to "go crazy," because if it's actually menopause, you need to save that for all those likely "hot flashes."  If it is really menopause, do whatever you need to do to stay comfortable--YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

I would, and plan on it in the near future. I'm 48, but was over 325 pounds at age 42.  I changed how I ate, and concentrated on veggies, protiens, dairy and low-sugar fruits.  I got rid of processed sugars, starches, and those things that kept my metabolic rate low.  I've lost over 170 lbs. in the past 5 years, and since I had already had my children, and my skin was so stretched, it didn't shrink back the way a younger woman's would.  So...I have skin that needs to be removed, and I've lost a lot of the fullness in my breasts.  So yes, I would but because this is something I need, and want, to make ME feel good about myself! :)

I didn't get mine until i was 16.  I know exactly what you are going through.  It isn't anyone else's business though.  And you know what- it doesn't matter later on.  Your body will eventually catch up.  My doctor told me that mine was proabably late because I was a gymnast and because I was very thin.  I am totally healthy now- I am 25 and have had 2 beautiful children too, so don't worry, it won't affect you later on either.  If you are concerned, you should talk to your doctor- he or she can tell you if you need to be worried.

A couple of years ago I had a miscarriage & I had to have a D&C & I also have PCOD. I had to have my left ovary removed cause it had a huge cyst in it & a couple of weeks ago my OB/GYN had to drain a large cyst off of my cervix. The one thing that has really helped me with PCOD is I have lost alot of weight & my doc said that it would really help me & it has. And not just with the POCD.

Frankly I think that you'll be much happier with this decision.  It's a very tricky process to give to man so late in his life, so it's going to take patience on your part during the healing process.  I'm sure it will feel a little different to you, but probably in a good way.  I don't know anyone who's actually gone through this, but there is a very detailed episode on sex and the city about it - you should watch it!

i had a hysterectomy in 98, i kno i coughed and it seemed like it took me a few to really catch my breath back....    this type of surgery is a major surgery...   you need to remember that your body once had a organ(s) in a certain area  and then all of a sudden its gone,   and so the rest of your body has to adjust to so many changes just from this type of surgery.....   and trust me, please take the time your doctor said for you to take to heal, believe me, your body will need the time frame in order to heal the right way....   do not do hormone replacements either, they r bad for you..  they actually cause more damage then good to your body....    i have not took a hormone replacement for like 5 or 6 years now,   AND I DO NOT HAVE HOT FLASHES ANYMORE EITHER...   JUST LET YOUR BODY HEAL LIKE YOUR DOCTOR SAID  AND THEN IF U STILL ARE HAVING A PROBLEM   THEN THATS WHEN I WOULD BE BRINGING IT TO HIS / HER ATTENTION...

You don't say how much time has passed. If the case is urgent, what is the delay? I would want to know that information from your doctor. What are the consequences of waiting...if this is taking such a long time? If the doctor can't give you a good answer, I'd press for getting the surgery moved up. I went through something similar to what you are describing and believe me if I hadn't kept pushing for answers and action the outcome wouldn't have been as good as it eventually was.\n\nBeyond that, keep busy. Send emails to your friends and families and just ask for their thoughts and support. Sitting and worrying will only make you sick. Taking the action I described above will also help you feel more in control of the situation. Part of the depression that comes with waiting for surgery with a questionable outcome is the feeling of having no control over your life. Take it back by being proactive.\n\nGood luck.

If you have a complete hysterectomy, your ovaries will also be removed.  When your ovaries are removed, you go through surgical menopause.\n"Premenopausal women who have had both ovaries surgically removed (oophorectomy) will experience an abrupt menopause and may be hit harder by menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and loss of libido than those who experience it naturally. Surgical menopause is associated with a greater decrease in androgen production than natural menopause, which may make hot flashes more severe, more frequent, and longer lasting for some woman."  http://www.womenshealth.com/library/hysterectomy_meno.htm\n\nIf you still have your ovaries: \n"If one or both ovaries are retained during a hysterectomy the patient could experience:\n\nContinuing normal function of the ovaries until the normal onset of menopause at the usual age of menopause, or \nEarly ovarian failure with the ovaries stopping hormone production sooner than expected.  This loss of ovarian function can occur as early as 1-2 years after the hysterectomy.  The ovarian failure may be very apparent to the patient and HCP when symptoms of estrogen deficiency occur.  Or it may be silent if estrogen levels fall but symptoms do not occur."  http://www.womenshealth.com/library/hysterectomy_meno.htm\n\nIf you are not sure if you have your ovaries, you should find out!  If you can, call the doctor who did the surgery, or even the hospital where the surgery was performed, and ask for an operative report.  It is important to know what has been done to our bodies.\n\n\nTo read about causes of hot flashes (other than menopause), check out this link:  http://www.wdxcyber.com/nmood12.htm

yes, definitely. I wish I had the choice at 16 to get one, but when I was your age it was unheard of. I'm 58 now, and I thought about it for about five years but just couldn't get up enough nerve to go see a doctor, it wasn't that I was scared of doctors but something just held me back.  I finally got it together and went, I had my surgery about 3 years ago and it was the best thing I had ever done, of course there's pain afterwards for a few days, I went back to work after 5 days. Believe me the results outweigh the pain. SO GO AHEAD AND DO IT, DON'T BE LIKE ME AND WAIT, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT, I PROMISE!!!!

I have cist on my ovaries and you talking about pain!! Please ask them to check cause I know the feeling.  Cause if you don't then the cist could interfere with your reproductive stages and could cause you to not concieve

I think when you refer to a partial hysterectomy, you mean that you would either be keeping your ovaries/fallopian tubes and/or cervix.  \nI had a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH), that is removal of the uterus and cervix (but kept ovaries/fallopian tubes) at the age of 22, just over 2 years ago.  The hysterectomy relieved a significant amount of the pain I was experiencing from endometriosis.  I did not have any children at the time of hysterectomy.\nYou need to determine if you can continue living with the quality of life you have now.  If you cannot, you should explore other treatments (if you have not already done so) for your condition.  \nIf you have exhausted other treatments, or a hysterectomy is urgently needed because of significant problems (as determined by your doctor), it may be a decision you want to consider.  \nIf you have not already done so, I would encourage you to seek a second medical opinion and discuss your thoughts/fears, etc. with family or a trusted friend.\nBest wishes!

Your question tells me that you know very little about how your own body works.  Maybe I can help with that.  Your ovaries alternate ovum production.  One month it's the right ovary, the next month it's the left one.  The menstrual flow is no indicator of whether or not you can conceive.  I have no idea why your flows changes from one period to the next.  It just happens that way.  And I have no idea if you can conceive a baby, healthy or otherwise. \n\nYou also ask "Is something wrong with 1 ovary?"  Why would you think that???  If you are so concerned about this, and frankly I have read nothing so far that should cause concern, then you should see a fertility specialist but I think you'd do better to see your gynecologist and direct these questions to her/him.

try ruptured ovaries as you dont usually get a hernia in an ovary
