Dear Randa- |

Hi, I am 47 years old and have suffered the past 3 years with what I assumed to be fibroids. It’s unclear whether there is one large mass or many fibroids from the ultra-sound that was done. They have been growing steadily since I first knew of one (3 or so years ago). I seem to have waited too long to seek medical help for this and after visiting an OBGYN on Mon. I am now facing an abdominal hysterectomy with a horizontal cut from lower pelvic to chest bone. The ultra-sound measured uterus length at 30+ cm I think which she said was the size of an 8 month pregnancy. I did not want surgery at all which is why I waited so long, for sure didn’t want a hysterectomy but now on top of everything can’t see myself going ahead with this option with such a huge cut. I can’t see my quality of life improving in light of the side affects of the hysterectomy and then having such a long abdominal cut. Is there any possibility that someone with greater skill would not have to make such a cut to get the uterus out? I would appreciate any information to help me decide. Thanks. |

My Dr. wants me to undergo a cryoblation procedure. I have fibroid tumors; have very heavy periods, cramping and bloating. My stomach feels very heavy and though I work out all the time, I can’t get rid of it. I am in an entirely different size clothing for twe weeks a month or more, depending on when I get a period. I am 48 years old and have had my tubes tied. What are your thoughts? |
