medical question

Body: 

Can one have a partical hyeterectomy and not have anything "shored up"? Meaning can one have the surgery done for fibroids and that's it no tacking anything to the sacrum? Just wondering? I'm not interested in surgery just have questions. So if the answer is yes, then what happens? Does the woman eventually have bladder and bowel prolapse always?

Don't know if anyone can answer that question; nothing is "always" or "never". All of these surgeries are a calculated risk. - Surviving

To lindamore----In my forties I had a uterus full of fibroids. I was told I need a hysterectomy, but I did not want that to happen. I found another gyno and he told me if could wait till I was 50, that the fibroids would go away. They did go away, and was able to hold on to my uterus for another 17 years. I eventually had a pelvic prolapse at age 59, but that doesn't mean you will, especially if you embrace this program.
