Based on my latest consultation with Dr Aarti Vazarini, I'm reluctant to have a hysterectomy because of what I been reading. Hysterectomy accelerates aging, lost of sexual desire, osteoporosis, cardiovascular problems etc.... Based on what I've research, most of these effects have been discovered lately. So when you have all this information I keep asking myself, is this the way to go? they're alternatives that 10 years ago were not available. My Doctor recommended to do an MRI, because says that in his 35 years practicing medicine (OBYN) he's only seen one case of a Fibroid to be cancerous . The MRI came out with no suspicious of cancer ,only that it's big measuring 9 cm. Also he ordered a Ca125 which came out 16.6 . I don't have any major symptoms only that my belly is big and It feels a little uncomfortable since I'm not an obese person. I was just thinking about a Utherine Fibroid Embolization. For me is difficult to say I'm going to take out some organs from my body , for something that is big and is not causing major consequences. The last thing that my Doctor ordered was an Renal sonogram , to see how my kidneys are. What to you think of this procedure,.(UFE) taking into consideration my age 51
