I'm 36. Uterine fibroids and ovarian cyst....?


No one in my family ever had such disease. My ob/gyn was recommending hysterctomy including ovaries and cervix.
My biggest fibroids is 7 cm, other two are around 3 cm. My cyst is 2.2cm. Except being anemic, I don't have other problems. I can't tell what will affect my future life by doing total hysterctomy.The second opinion is just to leave ovaries.

How could they say so easy? I don't think I want to have children, (never had children) but castorating should not be treated that easy.

So hard to get DIFFERENT ob/gyn appointment or finding the right one in this small state.

When I told my doc about just removing "fibroids and cysts" he said "BUT IT might come back, so hysterctomy is an option,you don't want children, just to let you know."

Well, I am young, and am worried about estrogen patch, outcome in the next 10+ years etc.

WHY women's mental & true psysical health won't be forcused even more by knowing hysterctomy is #1 performed operation?

No one cares?

I had a fibroid and some ovarian cysts many years ago. I had a Myomectomy. This is the surgical removal of ONLY the fibroid and the cysts. They have much less invasive ways of doing it today(my was done 23 years ago). Just because you may not have children, doesn't mean you have to opt giving up your uterus. Keep your ovaries, if at all possible. Some of these things take years to grow. If they remove them now, and more do appear later in your life, menopause generally will make them shrink. It's really your decision...If you are prone to cancer, removal of the organs is usually a good way to go. If not, hold on to them!

If you have your ovaries removed, this will plunge you into menopause, which can be controlled with medication. On the other hand, there's no harm in waiting, as the fibroids and cysts aren't cancerous. They might be painful though (you're the ultimate judge here). The important thing to remember is that at this point it is an option. The fibroids and cysts are small - I'd wait if I were you.
