Should I have a hysterectomy, I have fibroids/cysts. Will I gain weight?

When I lie flat on my back, there is a bulge as big as a grapefruit below my belly button and I missed 2 periods in the last year.

Just to let you know that you don't always have to have surgery. I too was told this and I research what my choices were because I had always been told that if you had this then you would have to have a hestertomy. But, unless they are causing you additional health problems or causing you pain, there is no reason for you to have them removed. Also if there is a reason why surgery needs to be considered there are other types of surgeries that involve them going in and removing the larger fibroids from inside the wall of the uterus. Reach search your condition on WebMD.com that is what I have always done.

You should see a doctor right away cause if you wait your gonna need more than a damn hysterectomy
If you have more than two children undergo hysterectomy.
