Hi,
Thanks for the query.
They might have suggested hysterectomy, by taking in to consideration the factors like:
-You are having two symptomatic fibroids
-Your age
-Parity
So if you are having heavy bleeding, hysterectomy is a better choice.
If you donot want you can go for progesterone pills. They can help in reducing the symptoms and decreasing the size of fibroids. If this help you can continue for few months.
If the tablets are ineffective in relieving the symptoms, better to choose surgery.

Take care.
