No need: for hysterectomy to avoid getting pregnant!, several other ways can lead to the same, but without that drastic irreversible measure, never say "never", also in your case never say "ever", and please get proper counseling, and mind you removing your uterus unnecessarily would have its toll on your mental health as well, take care
