The gave me 2 pills 800 mgs to dilate cervix. It didn't dilate. Put me under general anesthesia which relaxes muscles, didn't work. Lol. So like I said waiting fir MRI results, doctor will then advised. I'm just afraid - I don't want to rush and have doctor do partial hysterectomy and God forbid something develops later on. I've had 3 spinal fusions, 1 hip replacement 10 months ago which I'm still recovering. Do tired of hospitals/doctors 🙏🙏

And you're right. From forum reviews, it is true of a failed positive biopsy. Some patients have had negative to later on having positive results

Wow, it sounds like they are at least trying lots of things to get you a diagnosis. I'm with you on doctors and hospitals.

My experience with the robotic total hysterectomy, along with removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes, was that it really wasn't bad at all. I felt pretty good within a week (I was 57 and hadn't been having other surgeries). I had already gone through menopause, and have not noticed any new symptoms from loss of my ovaries (although there may be some, like osteoporosis, that I don't notice). My partner does notice difference on intimacy, but it still works.

I'm not sure what the benefits are of a partial hysterectomy. Is that what your doctor is suggesting?
