<human>: So my mom was born in Iowa in 1953. Her father died when she was 7. I actually have like 800 stories I could tell but this one really always blew my mind.

I don't actually know too much about the condition because we just don't really talk about it. But my mother was born with double reproductive organs. That's the simplest way to put it. She had 2 uterues? Uteri? So she'd have 2 heavy periods a month with crippling cramps and didn't know it was abnormal until she was 18. She needed a doctor to do a surgery so she could live normally but no one would do it.

She was an adult, age of consent, but no doctor would agree to a surgery unless a man was with her saying it was okay. Obviously she had no father, and apparently her mom saying please do the surgery wasn't enough. The doctors would say she couldn't have kids and her husband would have to approve.

Eventually one of her male friends went to a doctor with her. And he said "Yeah, she's my wife, let her have the surgery" and that was that.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: My mom needed a surgery that would make her unable to have children and no doctor would do it without her father(dead) or husband(she was 18) saying it was okay.
