Ovarian Complex, Fibroid Tumors and Thickening of the Uterine Wall

dear dr. i am 48, have been going thru perimenopause for about 5 years, was diagnosed 3 years ago with fibroid tumors after having an ultrasound done. had another ultrasound done 2 years ago which showed they had goten bigger, just had another one done last week, it shows the uterus at 14.6 centimeters, a complex on my right ovary and the endometrial lining is thickening, i am going to a specialist this week, can you tell me what i might expect to happen, i am done having children,do you think a hysterectomy might be in order? thank you, sue from michigan

Dear Snoozin-
You can probably expect your doctor to recommend a radical hysterectomy….removing both uterus and ovaries. We do not advocate this for benign diseases, even if you are perimenopausal.
Most “complex cysts” are benign…they can easily be removed and ovary reconstructed..this allows the women to enter menopause naturally, not surgically.You body produces hormones many years into menopause.
Thickened edometrium is also normal depending on the phase of your cycle…however some thickness can be attributed to certain pathologies.
Our FAS procedure would safely removed your fibroids, cysts and check your endometrium for any abnormalities.
I know we can help you and allow you to keep your organs.
