Do I need a hysterectomy?
I visited my gynocologist for review of a fibroid. His office called today to say that my uterus was enlarged and that I needed to take lupon shots. They said that my uterus went from 155 ml in Dec. 09, to 243 ml on June 17, 2010. I have no symptoms, other than maybe one or 2 heavy days of my period. I am 53 years old and still have a regular period. Do I need a hysterectomy??? Do I need to take the lupron shots??
Thanks so much for taking the time to post an answer for me. I am working on getting a 2nd and 3rd opinion.
I do not have hardly any pain, only cramping for maybe a day during my cycle. And, only heavy bleeding maybe for one day out of the cycle. Not at all enough to want surgery. I have talked to a lot of women who wanted a hysterectomy, but it seems their symptoms are much worse than mine.
I try to live a very natural life syle. Surgery and leupron are not on my list of things I want to experience in life!

I would do a LOT of reading on Leupron..read the fine print of common side effects...many many women get serious depression/crying weeping from this injection. In all other ways it does work if you dont get the side effects ..its fine...but the depression is so very severe I know many women will not chance it,.
A hysterectomy is always last resort its a very difficult surgery and recovery dont let any DR talk you into it ...unless you get 2-3 opinions I say this because your only symptom is a enlarged uterus...no heavy bleeding ?? no pain??
