Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I'm kind of afraid to post on this because I fear most in the group are anti-hysterectomy, no matter what almost. I think I'm going to have one though. I first found out I had fibroids back in January. They cause a lot of problems with my bladder and my bowels. Sometimes I can barely pee. I wanted a UAE after researching and finding this group. However, I'm not a candidate due to pedunculated fibroids. Sigh! Anyway, the IR and the GYN say it would be difficult to get the fibroid out that's on my bladder in a myo, they recommend hyst for several reasons: 1. difficulty in removing large fibroid due to location 2. I've had endometrial ablation to stop the bleeding/clotting and the scar tissue would prohibit a classic uterine cancer sign (abnormal bleeding). 3. I'm 47, can't have more kids anyway, and they would leave in the ovaries so menopause shouldn't start earlier than intended (hopefully) It's a very difficult decision. It's hard to be 100% sure about any surgery decision like this. I'm not sure what to do exactly. I'm also thinking of leaving the cervix in. I wish I were more certain about what to do. Any ideas?
