A member asked:
Due to fibroids i am having a hysterectomy. i have been given the option to have my cervix removed or not. is it necessary to remove the cervix?

Yes: There is still some debate about this but there shouldn't be. Even the american college of ob/gyn put out a statement that there are no real indications to leave the cervix behind. Some surgeons are doing this because it is a simpler surgery and a paper 20 years ago stated that leaving it can lead to better sexual function. That is not true. Leaving it behind can lead to more problems.

UFE?: Is uterine fibroid embolization (ufe) not available to you in britain? In many instances this can be a great alternative to hysterectomy for fibroid disease.
