Hysterectomy or Not because of Hydrosalpinx

Hysterectomy or Not because of Hydrosalpinx

I am 48 and was born with only one fallopian tube and ovary.  The past two years my menstrual cycles has been all over the place.  However, four months ago I started to have 2 cycles a month some lasting almost the entire month combined.  Had an MRI which showed I have Hydrosalpinx in the fallopian tube.  I also have a couple of small fibroids on the uterus.  This is really upsetting my quality of life.  Next week I am having a uterin biopsy done.  My doctor has asked me if I had an idea of what I would like done.  Of course due to the constant throbbing pain and bloating I want the tube out.  However, I am really thinking of having a total hysterectomy.  I'm done having children.   My own mother had a total hysterectomy at 45 because of large fibroids.  Personally I just want it all gone and be done with this.  The constant bleeding has effected vacations and my enjoying time with my family.   I am a very happy person but this is really bringing me down. Has anyone had anything similar or have any thoughts?
