enlarged fibroids after manepause

I am 55 Years old, have not had cycle for past two years. I had fibroids fro years but they were around 3cm, 6cm and 7cm. But this year, after two years without cycle, I found the fibroids grow at a very rapid speed. They are now 11cm 7cm and 8cm. I do not feel pain, not much discomfort. Now I am serviously considering a hysterectomy, most of this abnormal growth. Please let me know what I can do.

Id recommend you to do a search on the web on the DaVinci method of hysterectomy its state of the art best method.

You may also wish to sak dr alternative to this, there is a embolation procedure that usually shrinks fibroids as well as cryno (cold freeze) surgery. the idea is to cut off blood flow to fibroids and they go away or shrink. they can be surgically removed in some cases . your dr really need to see you insides to see if the fibroids are comprimpising your bladder or rectum, they often do these conditions are called retrolcyle and cystocyle.

the theory in keeping cervix is to prevent organ prolapse like bladder dropping, it happens , not to a high percent but it is a concern.

also know its very rare for fibroids to be cancer,,however yours sound like they are growing fast..they will eventually compriomise other organs..worst would be the bowel.
