I was mid 40’s, early menopause with history of ovarian cysts.  Ultrasound found cyst approx size of tennis ball prior to seeing female gyno the second time.  Due to the length of time before I saw her she requested another ultrasound.  Second ultrasound showed cyst had approx doubled in size with smaller cyst forming inside the first one plus another cyst forming that was already quite large.

I told the female gyno I wanted hysterectomy and she agreed would provide best long term option for me.  Traditional 6 weeks to heal during which time person is very limited in doing things.  Due to me living on my own and first hospital was public, house cleaner and person to help with showering was arranged through the hospitals which cost me nothing
