I am a thirty-one year old African American woman. The doctor had found a fibroid tumor the size of a large lemon. I wanted to know if it will cause cancer if I don’t get it removed. I don’t know what to do because I have read different types of cancers and I have some of the symptoms. Such as swollen stomach,usual bowel, discharge,and heavy bleeding. |

I have multiple fibroid tumors, 3cm is the largest. My doctor has recommended hysterectomy.I suffer from severe anemia as a result of abnormal bleeding. Is there an alternative treatment and if not, is it safe for me to wait 6 months before having surgery. |

At what stage should one consider surgery for fibroids? What other treatments are there beside surgery? |

I am considering Fas for treatment of a softball size fibroid that is absolutely feels like it is sitting on my bladder.Traditional myo scares me with consent for a hysterectomy.I am 38 years old and want a family.I recently miscarried at 6 weeks. What risks or complications are involved with FAS as there are quite a few with the traditional. The surgeon discussed a vertical abdominal incision due to the 20 week size of the uterus. My annual was 10 months ago and my gynocologist claims my uterus was of normal size no sign of fibroid and was not distorted as it is now, claims the estrogen level in pregancy made the tumor” go crazy” .Upon exam through another gyn.in the same office it was told to me that the fibroid of such size was there for quite some time and needs to be removed.I agree.I have a left bundle branch block that will effect the reading of an ekg…will this conflict at all? I would appreciate if you could list the risks involved in the Fas procedure.Fertility is main objective along eith the relief of frequent urination and the reduction of what looks like a 5 month pregnancy to my stomach. i also have an out of network rider on my hmo …I know you are considered out of network but have you experienced this kind of insurance rider with an hmo?? Thank you. |
