I read the article and it reinforces the decision to get a second opinion if a procedure is recommended. Since my Aunt had a successful hysterectomy I'm partial to that if it comes to that.
There are so many methods of treatment, I'm glad to read about them so if my doctor does suggest one of these that is not fully studied then I will know there's potentially a problem with my doctor's advice which could be invaluable.

I'm sorry that they didn't take care of the reduction when they should have. How maddening this all must have been for you.

All of the good advice I'm getting here helps lessen the worry if this turns out to be something that needs some sort of treatment.
