The doctor said it was time for a hysterectomy, and I jumped at the chance. LOL So he took everything, including the ovaries and the cervix so I woulldn't have any possible problems with cancer later on. Sounded good to me!
It's been wonderful! I took hormone therapy for several years, and then quit. I never had any hot flashes or anything. Now I'm past that age, so I lucked out!

i did look up fibroid tumors on webmd and another site i did some symptoms checklist and fit quite a bit of them. i used to get spotting when i was on bc pills not on them anymore. i never had extreme bleeding but in the past, my pads would be bloody hell from top to bottom and panties always wreaking in blood stains.
when i'd urinated, the toilet is filled with more blood than urine like omg!
my cervix was healthy 3 yrs ago but who knows what it looks like now. honestly, i do not know if fibroid tumors run in my family with the women as my family on both sides are so damn secretive of medical issues saying it is none of THE MAN'S business about us! i just roll my eyes when they say that and my doctors always say how are we suppose what u have in ur family if ur family wont tell u anything?
he said u could develop xyz and never knew it existed in ur family. i said dont tell me that u need to tell them that! i told a previous doctor my parents feel you are gonna do them in and kill them if they said what's in the family history. he couldn't believe when i told him that lol
