Try not to worry too much about this it is very common in ladies of your mums age!. Fibroids or cysts are usually benign and are easily removed!. In all probability the gynaecologist will do a vaginal hysterectomy and oopherectomy (remove the ovaries) mum will have no scar just a bit of discomfort for a few weeks!. Regarding mum going through the menopause a lot of Gynaecologist do a hormone implant after the operation when mum is still asleep which lasts for 6 months and will stop her having menopausal symptoms!. She can then take HRT!. The other thing is if the doc thought there was something really serious going on with your mum he would not wait a month to operate!. Hope this helps!. Good Luck to you and your mum she is lucky to have such a caring daughter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
