No : There are permanent birth control solutions without any surgery and without removing your uterus. Essure procedure is non-surgical and done in the office. The devices are easily placed in the fallopian tubes and cause them to close over 3 months. At 3 months, a simple 5 min test (hysterosalpingogram, hsg) is performed at hospital to confirm tubes are closed. Bayer (aspirin) website for md near you.

No: There are a number of excellent options for contraception. Hysterectomy is not commonly used just for birth control.
