Dear Dr. del Junco: I am 44 yrs old and was diagnosed with a 4 cm. fibroid iver a year ago and my doctor advised a hysterectomy. After review of my med records, I found out that this fibroid tumor was found initially seven years ago when my son was born seven weeks early. I was never told of this tumor that was 2 cm at the time. I have heavy bleeding, my stomache is bloated, I feel like I have to urinate all the time and then nothing comes out. Most of all, I have severe cramps and back aches. My doctor (who I has cared for my since I was 17 yrs old and has delivered my three boys) is really pushing the hysterectomy and says (I have issues to deal with since I am so terrified of him now). I actually went into a depression after his diagnosis because I trusted him literally with my life and now he was offering no other choices. My uturus is slightly enlarged and my recent ultrsound shows no growth in one year. What should I do? I feel rejected by my doctor now and no longer trust him. Do yo do FAS laporoscopically? |

I live in the Washington, DC area. It is practically impossible to go to California. I am a single parent. Why are there not any other surgeons in my area to treat my fibroids? I am impressed with the things I have read, but I need someone in my area to help me. I am scheduled to talk to a doctor about embolization. I am scared, confused and depressed over this problem. What can I do? |
