Ask your Gyn: Seriously! 25yo is young age for hysterectomy. So is 28yo for oopherectomy (removal of ovaries). You didn't state why initial surgery performed nor why this one is planned. You need to chat w/your Gyn or whoever is planning surgery. Ask why it's recommended. Ask what is desired outcome (surgical menopause +/- hormones). Ask about potential complications. Ask all your questions now b4 surgery.
