Is Hysterectomy Advisable At This Time?
I am 39, HIV positive, had a PAP smear that showed dysplasia and I have multiple fibroids ... I have been told a hysterectomy will: 1. take care if the fibroids and 2. prevent the pre-cancerous cells from turning into caner of the cervix. NB. my second biopsy or was it a colcoscopy did not show the pre-cancerous cells ... Is the hysterectomy my only option for both??

No , it depends on the degrre of dysplasia. if it is high grade only then the surgery is needed but not the hystrectomy. Hystrectomy will be needed only if
the fibroids are giving you problems.
the fibroids are giving you problems.
