Hello there, I had a CT-Scan done in Jan 03, and was diagnosed with a very large multilocular fibroid uterus (central calcification) which is approx. 18cm in cephalocaudal dimension. In the CT report it says that the uterus is 14cm in width and approx.12cm in anteroposterior dimension. Besides that I have a 4 cm left ovarian cyst. I’ve gone to my general Dr. as well as a gynecologist, and they both have suggested hysterectomies. HELP, is this the only solution |

Dr. This is Elaine and thank for answering my question I do appreciate it. Although I barely understand the terminology listed in the CT-scan result that I typed to you, about how big is this tumor or my uterus??? is there a difference between having a fibroid uterus and a uterine fibroid, or are the one in the same. Is the enlarged uterus a result of the fibroid tumor, or something else more serious Again thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Even though I have had no desire to have children, I am still young, and I know that a hysterectomy will probably cause more of a hazard… |
