Hi! I just turned 42 and have know about my firoid for 9 years...I wish I would have had it removed when it was small. Advise to women with small fibroids! They suggested to monitor it, which I did, but life got crazy and I didn't follow through with the hysterectomy 2 years ago. Now it's 18 cm (uterus messusuring 38 weeks) and I've been uncomfortable for so long I don't know whats normal. They said I should have a hysterectomy, but I'm nervous and worried about my sex drive/life/dryness. I don't want to loose that, I might rather be uncomfortable than possibly looing that. So Sorry if thats too much. Any thoughts?
