Re: Fibroids -- scared of having surgery and have a few questions
Hi ((twoblessed1126))!
I would suggest making a list of all of your questions and concerns. You can then take this list with you to your appointment tomorrow. Ask your doctor everything including your question about sex.
There are treatment options for fibroids besides a hysterectomy. You might find it helpful to browse through our Fibroid Resources where you will find info about fibroids and the treatment of them.
With regard to sex, it can depend on not only the surgery but also your ovaries and hormones. Some ladies find their sex life (physical and libido) is not affected by surgery, some find improvement, some find their sex life suffers. There is really no way to know for sure how things will turn out for you.
