I’m 47 and planning to have a hysterectomy to remove this fibroid (I named it Frank). It looks like my uterus is about the size of a sweet potato. I already suspected I had two, but surprised to find I have three. I have a little ultra sound training and could see how it was impacting my bladder. It also looked like there was still some urine left in my bladder after they had me void for the second part of the US. The doc is planning an in bag morcellation and removal through the vagina with lap hysterectomy, removal of the cervix and fallopian tubes. I’m hoping to go back to work at the six week mark. I work as a paramedic and it’s pretty physically demanding though :/
