Hysterectomy: July 3rd, 2017

clueless!
Doc found enlarged uterus during yearly - ultrasound showed multiple fibroids - waited a month for ob/gyn appt. He said uterus is size of 4 month pregnancy due to fibroids. Ordered biopsy of uterus and blood tests. Everything normal.
Now waiting 2 weeks to go back and "discuss options" ugh. What are options? I want it out!!
My question is how big is to big for vaginal hysterectomy? Everything I read says "not an option for very large fibroids/uterus"
Thanks

Re: clueless!
I'm glad you joined so that you have a place to ask questions, do some research and connect with women who can relate.
Having a hysterectomy is, of course, major surgery regardless of how it is performed and there are potential consequences, so it's good to at least explore viable options and make the best decision. For now you are welcome to use the Hysterectomy Options and Alternatives message board as the place to start new threads to ask questions, and there is information in the Hysterectomy Options Checkpoint to discuss at your next appointment. If it's decided for certain that you need to schedule a hysterectomy, you can then move over to the Pre-Op board.
We look forward to sharing with you!
