I had uterine fibroids and had a hysterectomy at age 41. Post surgery, the doctor said my uterus looked like a 4.5 month pregnancy in size. I used to call it my tumor baby before it came out because I was so extended in my belly. I had my uterus and cervix removed and kept my ovaries. I felt so much better when it was gone plus no periods. My doctor told me that I would feel better because I didn’t know how bad I was feeling. It creeps up on you. He was so right. I was so happy I had that hysterectomy. It was 17 years ago. No regrets!
