Dear friend; the first thing I tell women is to 'start trusting their 'gut
feeling'. I have written a few replies on this website under my name of
melli, also under the title 'no more endo', so, depending on your doctors
age, which means how much experience he has had in that area, you will get
different points of view, the older gynies, most don't recomment a
hysterectomy because this is a man made disease for the last 40 years, maybe
less.
good luck,
