I had a hysterectomy and the doctor said she might take my apendix (but did  
not)  Just to avoid it if it latter had problems... I was OK with  that.  It 
is not something you can't live without and it may save surgery  later.
 
As to the hyster for the girl.  I am all for it. But the mother can do  meds 
to stop period.  But I have been on the shot and it made me sick... so  I say 
go with pills.  But I can understand wanting it stopped by  hysterectomy.  
That way when the mother dies in years to come at least the  girl can't end up 
pregant in a care home somewhere.  Which is what I worry  about with my own 
girl... who is very pertty.   SO I REALLY worry.. no  that some sick man would 
care if they are pertty.  Here in the US we hear  about someone being in a coma 
or something and having a baby about every  year.... just think how many we do 
not hear about.
 
Plus.... I work in a hospital and see older family members come to our  
department with diaper soaked and all over the bed.... at least without the  period 
it would not add to the mess.
 
Just my thoughts.
