Big Fibroids
My doctor tells me I should remove the fibroids but I don’t have any symptoms?
What would you do if you were me? I’m 35, don’t have children but hope to have them in the future (don’t know when, cause I don’t have a man to have them with). I was diagnosed with 6 larde uterine fibroids, the largest being the size of a melon. I don’t have any symptoms whatsoever, except my stomach is kind of big. My doctor tells me to have a surgery to have them removed. What would you do? Please share your experience if you had them removed. How did you feel 6 weeks after surgery?
The proposed surgery is lapatoral myomectomy (via incision that is).
Well, the thing is, even though you don’t have symptoms, those fibroids might represent a problem with carrying a baby to term in the uterus. So if you want to have children, you’d have to have the fibroids removed, anyway. However, because you want to preserve your fertility, I wouldn’t just take the word of this doctor. I would get a second opinion. There are a lot of different ways to remove fibroids, and some doctors are more skilled than others at doing so. You’ll want to have the best surgery, not just an average surgeon. You might want to go to a fertility specialist, who will likely be particularly skilled at removing fibroids while preserving fertility. The worst thing would be to wake up and find that they’ve removed your uterus because the surgery was too difficult otherwise, so you must make your wishes known beforehand. In addition to the myomectomy, there’s also a procedure called “uterine artery embolization” (UAE) that can sometimes be performed, and is less invasive than myomectomy (which surgically cuts out the fibroid). UAE involves cutting off the blood supply to the fibroid, causing it to shrink and go away. This surgery is delicate, but not all that invasive. There’s no way to tell from here which procedure is right for you, but getting a second opinion, and asking each doctor about both myomectomy and UAE, will help you to know what all of your options are.
