I had a fibroid removed in August, when I saw the consultant she said it had "changes" and offered me a hysterectomy. It was not at all what I expected to hear and I also have not had an operation of any sort or general anaesthetic. I asked if there was an alternative which really surprised her, she said I could have a D and C and a mirena coil fitted at the same time, and to go away and think about it.
Well I did lots of reading and opted for the D and C, which I had done in September, I did have a general anaesthetic but was only in hospital for a few hours. It was a huge relief my results came back clear, no further treatment required.
