I just had a hysterectomy (everything out but ovaries and tubes) due to a large fibroid. My doctor told me I have a rare condition where the fibroids can grow in other areas of the body (e.g., lungs, heart) and I need to see an oncologist, even though this is not cancer.

I am 45 years old with heavy periods, irregular cycles (2 weeks or 6 weeks apart), lower left groin tenderness, light-headedness, hot flashes, and lower back and hip pain. Could this be related to menopause, and what other conditions might explain these symptoms?

I want to have a baby without doing it the traditional way. I am located in the Bahamas and want to go to a sperm bank and be impregnated with a baby. I am also willing to travel to Florida, the nearest country to the Bahamas, for this purpose. Can you refer me to a clinic in Florida?

I'm scheduled for a hysterectomy and oophorectomy due to chronic cyclical pain, possibly from endometriosis or adenomyosis. I'm unsure if this is the right decision and have concerns about HRT after the surgery. Should I proceed with the hysterectomy and oophorectomy, and what are your thoughts on starting HRT after the surgery?

What can I use for heavy and abnormal menstrual cycles, facial hair growth under my chin, and weight issues, given that I have a history of brain thromboses and cannot take birth control pills?
