I’m 23 and I want to remove my uterus

When Taylen Heremaia told her doctor she wanted a hysterectomy to try and help with her endometriosis, the doctor asked if she had a boyfriend and what he thought about this. Subscribe to Re: bit.ly/subscribe-re
“This hypothetical boyfriend doesn’t have a uterus that’s in pain,” Taylen told her doctor. “I do.”
Experiencing chronic pain since she was 15, a painful condition where the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, Taylen has been on an exhausting journey to get a hysterectomy.
Despite being clear about never wanting genetic children, Taylen says the expectation and pressure for her to want children in the future feels dehumanising and she feels it has gotten in the way of her having her uterus removed.
“It felt like people were saying if you have a uterus, how could you not want children? What’s wrong with you?”

I dont want my uterus either i dont like periods it so annoying and painful and i dont want kids

@insert_name2973 Год назад

I want my uterus removed too, not because of medical reasons, but i don't want to carry children, so donating my uterus to someone to give them a chance at having children they want sounds like a good plan.

@aligames_2138 Год назад

do it make you feel sick do it make you sad do it can't make you normal your uterus stay yours we man have nipples do we need it not really so what the point of wasting money isnt it a good plan to don't waste your money in something that actually can't be 100% helpful for others ?

@insert_name2973 Год назад

@@aligames_2138 First of all, it's my business. I don't want to carry children, so what use is my uterus? Besides, if I get rid of it, no more periods, no more blood, no more pain! And your nipple business is your business. If you want them, keep them. If you don't want them, get them removed. Simple as that. Same with my uterus. I can choose for myself, if I want it removed or not, and I can choose what happens with it. Why do you care? And so what if it isn't 100% helpful? Even if it was a tiny bit helpful and of use, that's a organ well spend.

Haha same. The struggle of being a woman. The mental struggle of severe pms pmdd. Gosh why do all woman need uterus and ovaries. These horrible sex organs. It's so sad

@@Michaelathomas2000 Woman, you who are forbidden, it seems that you believe in the existence of God, according to what you said, "gosh." If you do not believe in the existence of God, then do not use this word, because you are contradicting yourself The important thing is that I will go with you that you believe in God. God created the male and the female and made each of them a human being so that they can mate and reproduce in the land. If you do not love these organs, thank your Lord first because He gave you something a lot of which he needs, and thank your Lord that He made you in good health better than many patients. You want to suffer from the problem of menstruation.” The problem will be solved, but many problems will result from it. The successful person does not succeed except after suffering, and if you say that suffering is a bad thing, then you are not successful. God believed when he said "If humans followed their lusts, the earth would be corrupted " now you disfollow god rules if you don't believe in god so don't use god or gosh or oh my .you contradict yourself

Lol I may not have a medical reason. But i still don't want a uterus and it's useless for me since I hate the hormones periods and I'm all alone. I ain't asexual I hate having feelings towards opposite gender and sexual feelings idk it makes my mental health worse. God uterus sucks.

@mochireii- Год назад

same. i wish mine doesn't exist as well. i don't want to feel sexual at all as well as the hormone changes, it's doesn't make me feel like myself. it's a big reason why I'm not happy. and i don't want it to define me whole as well

@Melbot103 4 месяца назад

I've come to a point in my life where the next time I go to a doctor, I will bring this up. If they say no, I'll just do it myself and probably die in the process. I'm no longer interested in the opinions of others. It's not their body or their pain, so why do they get a say? It may be stubborn of me, but I didn't choose to live this life, and I certainly did not choose to have a uterus. To live is to suffer. that's all we amount to.

@soniczforever5470 Месяц назад

Abnormal cells. I have bleeding. Now bleeding again. Im 5 stone 5 at 5 feet 1. Im not due a pap for a year. Im paying for one if need be and getting the thing out. I was on a lean bulk. I know though at my weight a period is highly unlikely though possible I was on pop and missed 2 pills but now bleeding again. I took most of my body fat of for fear of having cancer but I also probably need to look at removing it as I cant even see it. I can get eggs frozen. I will not survive cancer as I have a bad heart and neurological problems. Id prefer to be without it. Even kids im considering not having if I stay unwell.

Removing your uterus will not change your endometriosis.

Of course she doesn’t want a baby , at 23 it’s perfectly normal . By the way , hysterectomy doesn’t cure endometriosis . She’s gonna be spayed like a cat … but still with endometriosis . It’s pretty sad actually .

@VoIcanoman Год назад

A hysterectomy does cure endometriosis for ~90% of women. If I was in chronic pain from this condition, I'd take those odds, especially considering the only major, guaranteed downside (if you could call it that - I wish more people were making the responsible decision to not reproduce) is not being able to have children who are genetically-related to you. Sure, there are some risks associated with this procedure, such as ~1 in 60 suffering a pelvic prolapse later in life (Kuittinen et al., 2023), and some people (those who leave one or both ovaries intact) can undergo early menopause, but those are minimal compared to the very real risks of leaving chronic pain untreated. Such pain can have serious consequences, particularly with respect to cardiovascular health (increasing the odds of a heart attack or stroke), and on cognitive function (particularly memory and attention), so if the price is some hot flashes, or even the need to have another operation to fix a prolapse, it's likely worth it to most people.

Why not have a baby first?

@roflolwtfomg Год назад

Even if she decided that she wanted to have kids later, there are other ways to do that, she doesn’t personally need to carry them. She should be able to decide what happens with her own body
