The studies conclude that hysterectomy is often performed needlessly. Fibroid tumors of the uterus are extremely common, rarely become malignant, and often persist for a woman's lifetime without bothering her or producing any complications. You appear to have just such a mild, asymptomatic case. Some women do have severe problems brought on by fibroids in the form of painful or extremely heavy menstrual periods.
Fibroids located just under the uterine lining are notorious for producing excessive bleeding.
As an internist who has spent his career avoiding needless surgery for his patients, I suggest that a hysterectomy is not advisable simply because fibroids are present, unless the woman is having such painful periods or such persistent bleeding that she is becoming anemic or cannot bear the pain. Alternatives to hysterectomy are now available. These block the blood supply to the tumor, and cause it to shrink drastically. Finally, as readers of my other postings about hysterectomies know, I don't believe any discussion of the surgery is complete without considering the sexual changes that it may produce, specifically to a woman's ability to have orgasms. Although many gynecologists will disagree strongly, I believe, as do gynecologists in many European countries, that performing a total hysterectomy with removal of the cervix and upper vagina requires cutting nerves that are important in some women for orgasm.
