Why Should Women Try to Avoid a Hysterectomy

There are two main reasons why you should avoid trying to have a hysterectomy for fibroids. Number one is fibroids are a completely benign condition, so there’s no need to take out the entire organ for a completely benign condition. The hysterectomy is a major abdominal type of surgery with at least a six-week recovery period, and the complication profile is way, way higher than other non-invasive, or least invasive treatment options.
