[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely try the pills and/or Mirena before surgical options. BC worked for me for about 5 years then it stopped working and I had a hysterectomy at 50. [/quote] Op is 53 so she doesn't need much more time.[/quote] Fibroids don't always stop growing after menopause. Removing them surgically is the only way to get rid of them. Everything else is a stop gap which will ultimately lead to hysterectomy.[/quote] This is exactly what my GYN said. So since I was 50 and totally finished having children, we opted for the hysterectomy. I had no other health issues. It seemed like a better time to have surgery than waiting until I was older with potentially other health issues to factor in. All of my friends who have chosen the other options ended up having a hysterectomy eventually. [/quote]
