Endometrial Ablation

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.

Dear Chris F-
Thank you for your inquiry.
I do NOT advocate this procedure of fibroids, it only addresses the symptoms, the actual tumor disease is not effected.Your wife will no longer have her period, but the tumors will continue to grow and take up space in the abdominal cavity. Eventually these tumors may impact other organs:bowel, bladder and digestive system. I recommend removing the tumors, do not wait.Your wife has probably another good 10 years to menopause-she could become very uncomfortable over time. The longer you wait for surgery the harder it will be. Good Luck
