Dear Dr. Del Junco Jr.: I had surgery to remove a fibroid the size of a grapefruit in March. I had 3 miscarriages prior to surgery. I am now trying to get pregnant without success for 3 months. I realize this is a short time, but had no prior problems conceiving usually within the first or second cycle. Should I be alarmed? My doctor mentioned scarring. Desperate for child. |

Dear Missy- For a tumor that large, I would advise my patients to wait much longer than 3 months to try to conceive. |

I am 33 years old and my doctor discovered a cyst near my right ovary around may of this year. It was very small then and not causing me any discomfort. She suggested that I go on the pill to possibly keep it from getting any bigger. Or we could monitor it and then decide. I opted for the later. A month later I started having severe pains during my periods. So I went in for a sonigram and she saw that it was a fybroid about the size of a gum ball. She suggested the pill again but I wanted to wait. We decided again to come back to it in two months. Two months later, no change in size and no pains, see you next year. I was relieved. |

Dear Dr.Del Junco JR. I have been diagnose with a fibroid on my uterus, due to heavey periods & being aniema my doctor recommend that I have my uterus removed or they could do a percedure which stops the blood flow but it would not entirely get rid of the fibroid. She suggested at my age 47, that it would be better since, I’m not planning on having any children. I’m apprenhsive about either procedure. |

I’m 31 and I have a fibroid tumor at least 5 cm in diameter (tangerine-orange). My nurse practioner (who I saw in an emergency) said I could start birth control pills, consider surgery, or do nothing (which she recommended against). I started the pills only to find out that they were estrogen based and that feeds tumor growth. I am off the pills, have not stopped bleeding for two weeks and feel that the tumor is growing rapidly. I feel constipated and my stomach boats up daily. I take Alieve and rub natural progestrone cream on my belly. I am avoiding soy (which is hard because I am a vegetarian) to limit estrogen influence and stop the growth. I don’t know if that is working. I am afraid of surgery and want children some day. Can I continue with progestrone treatment? Do I need surgery? Are there excellent doctors in Atlanta, Georgia who you would recommend? |
