Is hysterectomy the best option to remove fibroid tumors and to relieve the heavy bleeding ? Keeping the cervix cause cervical cancer?
Patient: Hello  I have 4 fibroid tumors, rather large in size, one in fact the size of a small fetus. In talking with my Dr. a hysterectomy was my best option both to remove the tumors and to relieve the heavy bleeding I've been going thru the past year. My uterus and 1 ovary will be removed. Will keeping my cervix put me at greater risk for cervical cancer? Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMNo you are under the wrong impression or may be wrongly informed that is not the condition for cancer of cervix at all, just take it easy and forget about this, nothing will happen as you are thinking, every thing fine have nice day.
