sick of bleeding |
Iam 41 years old and very active physically. I have 5 fibroid tumors the size of gof balls. I have tried alternative treatments and nothing seems to work. Four months ago I started taking luron depot and that has not worked. I am having very heavy bleeding with large blood clots. The clots come as often as every 30 minutes. I do not want to have surgery but I think I have run out of options. What shall I do? |

I have several fibroids. In the last three months I have started to take provera 2.5 mgm. each day. The bleeding has definitely decreased but I experience pain in my left side almost all the time. Could this be due to the provera? |

i went to the doctor after i was haveing problems with my period changeing, increased cramping,pelvic pain,pain during intercourse,i felt bloated and the list seems to go on, i was told i had 2 small fibroid tumors on my uterus. i now have more pain and when i have my period i have clotting. i feel like im pregnant but im not, i had my tubes tied, cut and burnt but i have that heavy bloated feeling and i can feel the difference in my body by the way my clothes fit. how rapidly can these tumors grow? could my problems be that they have gotten larger? if i had 2 then can i have more now? can this be serious. i am really scared please tell me what i should do. april age 31 |

Dr. del Junco, I recently had an ultrasound and was told that I have five multiple fibroids. My iron is very low- around 9 something. I was not able to see my OBGYN, but the nurse practioner reviewed the results of my ultrasound and told me that surgery was out of the question because I’m anemic. However, she did suggest that I start taking birth controls to relieve the heavy bleeding and cramping that I experience. Is it wise for me to take the birth controls? I haven’t taken birth control pills in years and I am 38 years old. What do you recommend for my case since my iron level is low and surgery is not recommended? Thanks for your response to my situation. |
