Your suffering with fibroids and cysts sounds horrific—I recently discovered (at age 30) a large uterine fibroid myself but it’s on the outside of the uterus and not causing any symptoms. The surgery is apparently low risk so I’ll probably get it removed. But in any case the experience been very educational about this widespread condition that I wasn’t really aware of before, and now I know of at least older family in my circle who had hysterectomies on account of fibroids after they had several children. I had no idea!
Yes, a fibroid just on the surface is generally easier to remove than one embedded into the uterine muscle. I think culturally older generations of women didn't feel as free to talk about 'female issues', so many suffered in silence.
