judging from my own experience, i'd say DON'T have surgery unless it's a last resort! i had to have a total hysterectomy when i was 32 because of a fibroid tumer the size of a grapefruit and it was instant menopause. listen to mary jane and try the meds. give them time to work and if you don't get relief have your dr try something different. best wishes, i know what you're going through.View Thread
