due to massive growths of adhesions that have occured 2x’s within 3 years and have required surgery my Doctor has suggested a hysterectomy. Do you agree ??????? |
|
Dr. del Junco Jr. (Doctor) |
Dear Laura-We do not believe in treating adhesions with a hysterectomy. We have special techniques with our FAS procedure that specifically address adhesions, and have had much success with many patients. This does require an open procedure but it has been successful. |

WHat happens to the material that you wrap around the uterus and all?… Does it eventually dissolve or what? |

Have you ever heard of a fibroid growing on any thing other that the uterus, this person has had a hysterectomy. Recently had a cscan for colon perforation and the scan showed a fibroid in the area of the uterus. Or where it would have been. She still has both ovaries. Could it be a cyst on her ovaries. She will be going in for ultrasound this week. |

How do you deal with severe adhesions? Can you use your procedure if they are on the large intestine? |

FAS surgeons in Atlanta

I am 34 years old and have been trying to get pregnant for the last 11 years. I have been pregnant 6 times and have miscarried 5 times and had on ectopic pregnancy. My doctors at the Emory Clinic in Atlanta have diagnosed me with Adenomyosis and have given me three options: 1) Birth control pills 2) Lupron 3.75 and 3) Hysterectomy. I chose the Lupron protacal, however I am very interested in your procedure. Is there anywhere in the Atlanta area or the southeast that are able to perform this procedure. I don’t know that I would be able to make it out to LA for this. |

I have read about your wonderful surgery alternative for woman like me who have suffered with fibroids for years. Is it not possible that this surgery be taught to other physicians so that even more woman all over the country can benefit? According to your partient map 40% are near/in the east and mid-west area. What about opening a clinic say in New York? I know you would get clients right away–like me. |

Are there any medico’s/surgeons, etc that perform FAS in Australia? I had a myomectomy 13 yrs ago and have had 8 fibroids develop in the last 4 years. Three of these have now grown to about 5cm each. My gyn recommended the wait and see approach!!! I have had continuous bleeding for the past 3 months and am absolutely exhausted. My gyn has recommended that I take Danazol to reduce bleeding. He has suggested ablation – I am not keen on either recommendations. I have sought the opinion of a second gyn who is also suggesting a microwave ablation. I am 41 yo and have not had children and do not want to limit my options any further, notwithstanding my age. |

Something inside of my uterus
Author | Message | |

About a week ago I had and ultra-sound and a hysteroscope. My Dr. said that the lining of my uterus was thick but my uterus was of normal size. She said that it was probably a polyp. She then did a biopsy of the tissue lining of the uterus. She said that it was difficult to get out because something in my uterus was hard. What could have been “hard” inside of my uterus??? |

Okay, finally my doctor scheduled me for a D&C on July 9th. I asked for a MRI to see if maybe there would be something there that would indicate that I suspect that I have adenmyosis. I was told that the MRIs are not very good in the pelvic region for finding anything that the ultrasound was the best. (Everything that I have read has said otherwise.) I was given 3 choices by my doctor. 1 was to do nothing, the 2nd was to do a D&C, and the 3rd was a hysterectomy. The only reasonable thing to do was the D&C. Everything has been the same for the last 6 months or longer, heavy bleeding, large blood clots, swollen stomache, the feeling of a bowling ball sitting on my pelvic bones, constipation, but now I have hemorroids. Could this be related? Also I have found a protrusion (like a lump) above my pubic bone and a larger one on my left side of my stomache, could this be related? |

I am 32 yrs old, and I have 1 child. My 2nd child died in accident. I am desperately trying to conceive another. I have been diagnoised with adenmyosis and I have been trying to get pregant for almost a year. My dr has told me little about this disease. I have found most of my info from the internet. I’ve been told just to keep trying, but the more research I have done, I can see the odds are not in my favor. I don’t know what to do. |
