I have been experiencing heavy bleeding and irregular periods for several years now. I have had two D&C's and now a year after the last one, all symptoms are back.

I just had a sonogram (internal and external) and was told that I have multiple fibroids and cysts on both ovaries. A biopsy was done and I have not yet gotten the results. My doctor said that by the look of the sonogram she does not believe that anything is cancerous but as I am 47 and have had problems for several years, she feels that a total hysterectomy is called for. I went to her to have Novasure and she highly recommended it until the sonogram.

Do you think this is drastic? Should I give some of the other treatments a try or just go with the hysterectomy and "get it over with"? Thanks for your opinions!
