necessary hysterectomy?

by here4good, Nov 09, 2009 11:59AM
I am a 58 year old post-menopausal woman.  I have a 4.5cm fibroid uterine tumor.  I have had no symptoms, no bleeding.  I was told about 7 years ago that I had a fibroid....about 2cm, I believe.  We (the dr. and I ) do not know how quickly this may be growing.  The dr. has recommended a hysterectomy.  Do you believe this to be immediately necessary?  And if so, what type of hysterectomy would be the best?

Have you and your Dr talked about other options, like just removing the tumor?
When I had my hysterectomy I got a second opinion and I think that's something you might want to consider doing too. Ask both of these Drs what your other options are. Take care. Remar
