    Ooor, stay on birth control for years, and hope you luck out and get fibroid that allows you to get a hysterectomy.

        You can, but I’m American. So with America’s crummy private health care system, many insurance companies here won’t pay for an elective hysterectomy. You need a good medical reason for it. And sometimes that means something like a fibroid alone isn’t enough. It has to be a certain size, causing pain, etc.
