What questions to ask before agreeing to hysterectomy for fibroids?
1 month ago
My doctor has mentioned uterus removal because of fibroids, but I'm still unsure whether it is really necessary. I understand that it is a permanent decision. What questions should I ask before agreeing to such surgery?

It’s completely valid to seek clarity before agreeing to a hysterectomy, as it is indeed a permanent procedure. Key questions to ask your doctor include: whether less invasive alternatives like myomectomy or other treatments are suitable for your case, what risks are involved, how fibroids are affecting your quality of life, and what the recovery process looks like. Getting a second opinion from another gynecologist can also help you make a more informed and confident decision.
