I am scheduled Sept 1st for a hysterectomy. My Fibroids were size of grapefruits. I have a few. I have had 3 shots of Lupron to shrink fibroids to hopefully have the operation vaginal. My Dr. says the uterus is enlarged and I have a problem that could lead to kidney infections etc. I didn’t get a second opinion. I’m hoping we are making the right decision |

Dear Anonymous: How do you think you’d feel to open your eyes after surgery and have the feeling that you are still the same way you were born?? With your organs INSIDE your body – not discarded. It’s only last March I had FAS, and look at me now – no more problems, and a smile as big as the distance from Ohio to California. I don’t have to rationalize a FINAL decision, just enjoy my life, like I am supposed to, without remorse and other emotional problems. I have friends who had H – and it took them a good 2 years to recover, not to mention one almost lost her husband. How sad, to see a life with no options, just rationalizations. I just hope you can look into FAS as a safe and reasonable procedure which will make you feel like yourself again. You’ll like the feeling of being “cleaned up”, but entirely functional. If you need more details, look at some other posts I have on this BB, Onelist.fibroids and WEBMD. Good luck! Mica |

I’m 32 years old have no children. I have 3 fibroids golf ball size, uterus the size of a 4 pregnacy. Two of the fibroids are pressing on my bladder. Cramping, heavy bleeding, blood clots, lower back pain, swelling, leg cramps & leg numbness. Painful during sex. Some times bleeding after sex. blood levels are out of wack. My OB\GYN recommend a Hysterectomy. What do you recommend. I don’t want children. I do want my tubes tired. |

I am schedule for a hysterectomy in October, I just got out of surgery for a removal of an ovary and tube The ovary was huge and had a massive cyst on it the other ovary also had another type of cyst on it. I was covered in a black mass all over my organs. I really want to keep at least my ovary, but was told it is causing the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Do you have any suggestions for women that have already had a hysterectomy and are having post hysterectomy problems. I had a hysterectomy and also had my ovaries removed and I have had one problem after another one. It’s to late for women that have already had a hysterectomy??? There is nothing that can be done to rid the pain that your in all the time?? Also is it common to have bladder problems and Thyroid problems after a hysterectomy? |

I have been suffering with excessive bleeding and clotting for the past 5 years. I have periods lasting 10-12 days. i had a D and C and hysteroscopy in October which found nothing too abornormal, a few endometrial polyps including onethat had pushed thru the cervix. At that time my periods were lasting 14-20 days. My hemoglobin is 6.2 and i am scheduled now for a transfusion and hysterectomy (uterus only) in two weeks. i have an irregular heartbeat now after my long bout with anemia. My doctor tried hormone therpay and many birth control pill combinations after the D & C and feels hysterectomy is all that is left due to my extreme iron deficiency. i am anxious to feel better, but don’t want unneccesary surgery. I am 47, otherwise good health. I had a second and third opinion that confirmed the need for immediate hysterectomy before another period makes me seriously ill. any opinions from you would be appreciated! Thank you so much. |

It was discovered that I have a fibroid about 2 1/2 years ago. I am 47. I started taking Medroxprogesterone 10mg the 1st thru the 12th every month because of heavy bleeding. I did this for about three months and than I stoped taking it because I read it can cause certain types of cancer if taken long term. that was three months ago and I have been bleeding for over thirty days with light to heavy bleeding at this time. The sizes of it is as if I am 5 months. I have had all the test that need to be done. |

I am scheduled for a D&C and thermal ablasion next Thursday due to my heavy periods. I have read alot on the ablasion process but I am not sure what a D&C involves. Is that just the first step they do before the ablasion? |
