And a hysterectomy is removing all of it. I'd resided myself to the fact that I'd have to take bc pills until menopause in about 10 years and now I'm looking at getting an entire organ removed and like wtf

A partial hysterectomy leaves the ovaries intact and prevents premature menopause. But it’s also not necessary if you just have your tubes removed. I had mine removed in my thirties and didn’t need to start hormone therapy until my mid-forties when I began perimenopause at the normal age.
