A member asked:

I have had in the past year several cysts , a uterine and vaginal polyp with a cyst underneath the polyp..when would you recommend hysterectomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OB GYN Consult: You need to talk to a OB GYN MD who is aware of ALL of your GYN issues to give you the best answer. Future childbearing abilities are also a source of consideration. Remember that hysterectomy has complications that can be life threatening to which you have to balance risk versus benefit.
