I too have fibroid tumors. I am going to have surgery on Nov. 30th. The dr. says the tumor is about the size of a 5 month pregnancy. I have considerable back aches, and frequent nightly visits to the bathroom. The dr. says the fibroids are attached to the lining of the uterus. Do you think the surgery is necessacy or would FAS be the way to go. I noticed the tumor sometime in May and when first diagnosed it was about 4 inches long and 3 inches around. It grew pretty fast and has now almost doubled in size. Your advise will be nice to have.Barb |

Are there any doctors in the Tulsa, Ok. area that perform this particular surgery? Will medical insurance cover it? Thank you |

I’M 32 YEARS OLD AND WAS TOLD LAST MONTH AT MY GYN. OFFICE THAT HE FOUND A TUMOR ON MY LEFT SIDE. HE SENT ME OVER TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A PELVIC ULTRASOUND AND THAT TEST SHOWED I DID HAVE A FIBROID TUMOR. MY DOCTER BASICALLY GAVE ME NO OPTIONS BUT A HYSTERECTOMY. AFTER MY SURGERY HE SAID THE PATHOLOGY REPORT CAME BACK AND NO TUMOR OF ANYKIND WAS FOUND. THE DR. SAID MY UTERUS WAS LARGER THAN NORMAL. MY QUESTION IS NUMBER ONE: HOW COULD THE ULTRASOUND NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN A LARGE UTERUS OR TUMOR AND TWO HOW COME MY DOCTER DIDN’T EXPLAIN THAT IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE AND LETS DO SOME MORE TEST!!! i WOULD NEVER HAVE PUT MY BODY THROUGH MAJOR SURGERY. |

Dear TTOFTN- |

Then basically dr’s perform hysterectomies because its just an easier process. Can the size of the fibroids cause damage to any other part of the organs? |
