Should I get a second opinion?

I’m going to get a second opinion soon. The problem is that my GYN can’t do full hysterectomy and If I need one I don’t want to have to do 2 surgeries. She doesn’t think she can perform a biopsy on me because she could insert an IUD. I find it strange that my transvaginal ultrasound that I got in August only showed multiple heterogenous foci in the Endo cervical area…but my MRI I got for my lower back showed multiple issues that the ultrasound didn’t pick up. Glad I got the MRI or I guess this would of gone on for some time. So sorry about your situation. Good to know you are getting good care at Mayo.

Please don’t rely on an ultrasound for a proper diagnosis. Self refer if you can’t get your local doctor to refer you. Any issue should be followed up thoroughly and quickly. There are many excellent women’s health clinics including docs at Mayo.

@lgrec I'm following up to ask if you've made an appointment for that second opinion. What did you decide to do?
