I am scheduled for a laparoscopic hysterectomy next week. I have had the same symptoms for about 5 years. Unmanagable, heavy bleeding during periods. I am 42 and don’t plan to have more children. I am tired, unexpectedly quite often. |

Dear Yvette-This procedure is relatively new-obviously the laparoscopic technique saves the recovery of an open surgery. You probably do have adenomyosis-which we feel should is better treated by FAS than hysterectomy. |

I have uterine fibroids and “all” I hear from the doctors is hysterectomy or myomectomy. I’m not having any excess bleeding. I only experience some pain during my menstrual cycle as my fibroids have gotten larger and my uterus swells during this time. Is there no one here on the east coast that I can consult? I’d very much like to see you but I live in the Atlanta, Georgia area and would probably need to make at least 2 trips to California. Please help! |

I am a 52 year old female living in South Louisiana where the health care is not the best. I also have microscopic lymphocytic colitis that is in remission, colon polyps, and a right hip joint that needs to be replaced. Since all of this is occurring in the same area, I would like to try acupuncture first to see if that can align my body better (more right sided illness). What do you think? Also, would you know of a medical facility in this area that might be more responsive to my desire to keep my female organs? Thank you for your response to this complicated medical situation. |

I live in St. Paul, Minnesota. Do you know if there are physician’s in Minnesota who preform the FAS procedure. Also, I heard a little about a procedure that is only being done at the University of Michigan at this time. Are you aware of what that procedure is called? |
