Ooor, stay on birth control for years, and hope you luck out and get fibroid that allows you to get a hysterectomy.
Wait, you can't just ask for one?
You can, but I’m American. So with America’s crummy private health care system, many insurance companies here won’t pay for an elective hysterectomy. You need a good medical reason for it. And sometimes that means something like a fibroid alone isn’t enough. It has to be a certain size, causing pain, etc.
Some states require spousal consent and some doctors will try to talk you out of it altogether.
"...spousal consent..."
What in the chicken-fried fuck is happening?
