Dear Dr-I am 38 yrs old (3 children-ages 6,10 and 12 yrs old)I was diagnosed with adenomyosis 3 years back and had a hysteroscopy resection of myoma 2 years ago,in year 2004.The result of the procedure/surgery was not good. Pain and heavy bleeding continued. 3 months down the road, Mirena was recommended and used. Mirena has not helped and is not effective as my uterine bleeding is thickening (6.4cm) and I now have 2 additional growth (fibroids at 1.9cm and 2.6 cm).Menstrual cycle remains regular but the bleeding is inching itself to heavier flows each month.
Sub total hysterectomy has been recommended. I have read alot about the consequences of this surgery. Please advise if there are other alternatives.
Thank you and I hope to get a reply from you.

Dear April-
Those procedures you have tried are bandaid approaches to your disease process. The uterus needs to be opened up and the fibroids and adenomyosis removed. Our FAS procedure can help you…we routinely treat patients with adeno and have removed over 240 fibroid tumors from one patient. Our success is partly due to laser use.
Please give my office a call, I know we an help you.
