I have a mostly blocked colon from a 10.2cm anteverted uterus and fibroid, yet no one wants to do a hysterectomy. i am 52 years old & small bodytype.

Why not ? : If your uterine fibroid is so big that it's blocking your colon then the hysterectomy is a perfectly reasonable option. Schedule a visit with an ob/gyn for a second opinion. You may be able to find one who can do this robotically in a minimally invasive way.
