enlarged uterus w/fibroid tumors?

I have had lower abdominal pain. My Gyne told me that my uterus was the size of a 14 week uterus and that I had a few fibroid tumors. He said I could try living with the pain or get a hysterectomy w/o taking my ovaries out. Granted I am not having more kids and I am only 35. I am not sure what to do, the doctor just seemed so carefree about taking it out! Has anyone had something similar and if so, what did you do? HELP!

Hello. I am a surgical tech. The reason he is carefree about it is anymore hysterectomy's are pretty standard, not THAT big of a deal. If you are not planning on having any more children, then just have it removed to be pain free. I know that any surgery is scary, but ask him about his approach. Vaginal, abdominal, laproscopic assisted vaginal. It is a pretty common surgery, and easy to preform. I would do it if I were you, it will be better for you in the long run.
