Hello, Michelle! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.
Yes, that is usually the preferred solution, in such cases, it's really the best way to ensure that the fibroid is fully removed and cannot return. There is a risk of it breaking loss and starting bleeding, or blocking the vaginal opening or causing other complications, at any time.
Where you planning for more children?
Hello, Verwon! I am very glad you answer my question. No, I am not planing to have a baby. Although, I will love to but it might be a problem. However, I don't want to have my uterus remove because of my age. I would like to have a myomectomy to remove my fibroids. Why? do doctors perform this procedure only on younger people and with older people you have to have a hysterectomy when all surgery is a risk at all ages. I just dont think its fair.
I agree, it's not really fair, but it is the best way to ensure full eradication of the fibroids.
But if you don't want to lose your entire uterus, then by all means don't accept that option. It is, after all, your body and your decision to make.
Insist on getting another opinion.
What is your general location? Perhaps someone can recommend a good doctor in your area.
Jackson, Ms is my closest location. I really hope someone can recommend me a doctor who will only remove my fibroids and leave my uterus intact. Verwon, I am truly thankful for your thoughts and concern. I appreciate your response.
You're very welcome, Michelle! Please post back and keep me updated!
