                        I would definitely get another opinion before I rushed into a hysterectomy.  These fibroids are known to grow and shrink and just about disappear after menapause.  Just don't get it irritated such as taking a bath. You are only 36 years old. I have had them since I was 35 yrs. old.  Mine was at a 12.  It is now a 3.  Please don't rush into anything unless you have too.
