Worried
Ok my doctor is saying that I will need to have a hysterectomy because I have a fyfriod inside my uterus and one on the lining of my uterus. I seem to be having some leakage coming down and spotting. This seems to happen when I have sex and it is really bothering me. I have to wear a pad pretty much everyday. I want to know is this hysterectomy really what I need to have. And the leaking and spotting is this from the fyriods? Also I have lots of hot flashes everyday is this because of the fyriods?

Greetings twinkie756,
Fibroids that distort the endometrial lining as you descibed are more commonly associated with abnormal uterine bleeding when compared to other types. I don't know the full extent of your fibroids but operative hysteroscopy can often serve as a treatment option in those who wish to avoid hysterectomy. Fibroids do not normally cause hot flashes. Good luck!

Hello twinkie756,
I don't have enough details to know whether a hysterectomy is your only management option. I rcommend that you have a discussion with your gynecologist specifically on treatment options that do not involve hysterectomy if desired. Some necrosing fibroids within the uterine cavity may be associated with abnormal vaginal discharge. I recommend that you be evaluated for more common causes fo vaginal discharge however such as vaginitis and STD's. Hotflashes are not caused by fibroids. Best wishes.
