My wife is 41 yrs of age, diagnosed with uterine fibroids for years now, and was told she is equivalent to being 3 months preg (uterine size from fibroids). No more desire for children. Her only symptoms are excessive menses for approx one day of her cycle. Progesterone cream has helped some (I suppose it counters an estrogen dominant condition). She has been thinking about endometrial ablation using the “hot water balloon”. I know it doesn’t cure the underlying fibroid disease but what do you think of this Tx option in her case? Also, since it does not get rid of fibroids, will they just grow outward then since they have no other place to go and possible cause other problems?….like urinary, bowel, etc. Thanks in advance.
