Title: Hello from London - Newbie here
Post by: BreadFruit on November 11, 2013, 05:07:24 PM

I am going to be 48 in a few weeks time. Struggling with my Pre-menopausal symptoms for the last 2 years.

Having read the forum I see I am not alone out there.

Its so difficult to speak to anyone about this. People give understanding nods but no one really talks about it.

My doctors are useless.

I am contemplating to get a partial hysterectomy as I cannot take it any longer.

I will post my issues in a separate thread.

Hi Breadfruit - welcome to the forum.

What symptoms are you hoping a partial hysterectomy will relieve?

Hi Breadfruit - Welcome to the forum.

This meno thing isn't easy.
You need to get more sympathitic / sensible advice, can you change your GPs?.

As Taz says, why a partial hysterectomy, what are you hoping to achieve?
Seems an awfully big step.
