The only drawback I experienced with a vaginal hysterectomy was scar tissue which had to be cauterised a couple of times a few years later; otherwise Rog and I both would have become celibate! I concluded that the doc I went to did a lousy job, though, based on what others had to say when I moved east and went to them.

I was back to work, although only half-days and only at my desk, not out selling, about 2 weeks after, but total recovery took about a month.

Also, even if you keep your ovaries, you can still have early onset menopause. I went through it around 40 yrs. old. I used motherwort and dandelion root tinctures as well as hawthorne berry tincture for my heart.

Good luck,
