No, doctors don’t jump to hysterectomy, but I’ve had many women with fibroids, heaving uncontrollable bleeding who choose to eventually go this route. Most of them were begging their doctors after years of this, none of my friends who got it regret it. I’m not saying this to scare you, but to validate this issue that is very impactful to your quality of life and deserves attention and follow up to make it more manageable.
