Brief Answer:
You need to be evaluated first.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

If only 1 pap is good, i will advise you to get hysterectomy as your symptoms will not go .

But i will advise you to get a thorough checkup to rule out diverticulosis and colon cancer.

You need a stool occult blood and a colonoscopy , a barium enema x ray and CT of your colon to rule out diverticulosis and colon cancer.

After they come normal, you can proceed with the hysterectomy.

Feel free to consult me directly
