Hello, there! I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has uterine fibroids, also polyps. I am 50, no longer desire children, was told hysterectomy was needed, I know about UAE (embolization, which kills the fibroids, leaving the uterus intact) but worry that the polyps will return. ( I don't believe the fibroids return with the UAE procedure)

I am really afraid to have this done. But I have between period bleeding, bloating, constipation and lower back pain. The GYN did a D&C and hysteroscopy, removing the polyps. He showed me the pictures of the fibroids, not a pretty sight. I am afraid of the recovery process too. I had a partial right nephrectomy 6 yrs. ago due to a cancerous kidney tumor, and I feel that since cancer is so rampant in my family, maybe I should just go ahead and have the hysterectomy. What do you think? anyone have this similar situation?? thanks!!!!!
