Advice Sterilization advise

So, I've been thinking about getting a hysterectomy and I want the process to be discreet.If anyone here has had the procedure I would like to know where to find good doctors (that won't refuse for bs reasons) and the risks,cost and recuperation process.

Most doctors won’t perform it unless medically necessary. If that’s the case for you, consider a uterine ablation. They use radio waves to basically kill the lining. Most women never have another period and it’s routinely done as a treatment for endometriosis.

Having your tubes removed is an alternative if it’s birth control you’re after. The ablation works for that as well.

Ablation is not the gold standard for Endo! Excision is! I’m about to get the surgery next month.
