Uterine Fibroids

[abhiRPH]

Thank you beachgal and pixie.

Pixie, I am in ca and my present ob/gyn wants to do mymectomy but i am considering laproscopy. If they could do laproscopy in your case then I can also go for it. But my ob/gyn is telling me that if they do laproscopy in that big size of fibroid(6cm), they may not able to stich it after they take it out the fibroid.According to her it will have complications in the future pregnancy.I have to look for specialist.

Beachgal, I am glad I met you. you gave me hope and you have a healthy pregnancy. You go girl.

UCLA offers the robotic-assisted surgery. I highly recommend consulting with them.

Hi Karen,

I had a large fibroid when I got pregnant a year and a half ago, which unfortunately ended at 7 weeks. My HCG never went above 120. I has a staged resection of a 9 cm fibroid (huge), it was submucosal (half in and half out of the uterine cavity. My FS specialized in these types of procedures to preserve my reproductive ability.

Most women have fibroids..but there are four main types. It depends on what type they are, anywhere they are.

I now almost 20 weeks, and have more fibroids! Surprise! Not! But the baby is not being affected by it, and touch wood, things are so far going well.

Best of luck in your pregnancy. But you can have fibroids and still go full term. I have two other children, and had fibroids with my son. He went to 42 weeks!

can I do uterine embolization? They stop the blood flow to fibroids and slowly they shrink and will not return. is this a good option if u want to get pregnant in the future? Anyone did this?

This is NOt what you want to o if you want to get pregnant. This s done in pts menopausal women only usually, as once it is done you cannot hve kids ever again.

I had an 8cm fibroid and several smaller ones removed in 2007 at the age of 30. It was a myomectomy due to their size and location. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and at my second ultrasound was told they had returned, a small one, <1cm. At my anatomy scan 3 weeks ago that small one is now 3cm, located anterior-ly and away from the placenta. They will do another ultrasound at 27 weeks just to keep an eye on it. This is my first ever pregnancy and so far I have had no complications. But due to my uterus having been compromised akin to a previous c-section my OB is recommending a planned c-section at 37 weeks due to my risk of uterine rupture. I am more than okay with this as long as baby is healthy.

Good luck on whatever decision you decide is best for you

I am going to go for mymectomy. My doctor didn't want to do laproscopy. She said it will effect the future pregnancy. Scared and hoping for the best.

I had fibroid removal for a large fibroid and a few small ones laproscopically and was told we could ttc after 3 months. I became pregnant shortly after and had a trouble free pregnancy. I was told I would need a c section for that and all future pregnancies but that didn't bother me as all i cared about was a healthy baby. The recovery from the fibroid surgery was a lot harder than I thought it would be but it was totally worth it.

I met the specialist and he said he can remove my fibroids laproscopically. I am glad I went for second opinion.

Good luck!

I had 16 fibroids removed this year (abdominally and vaginally). Glad I did it - changed my life infinitely for the better.

I had the procedure last week. They took out 3 of my fibroids and they cleaned out my endometriosis. They removed 2 of the fibroids laproscopically but the large on 6cm one they removed it by myomectomy.

It has been 4 week after my surgery. I am doing really good...my scars healed pretty well. My doctor is a genius...after surgery I had light bleeding for 4days and I could do everything after 2 weeks. My period started after 27 days after my surgery and it is not heavy. If you are in california and I highly recommend my doctor Dr.Nezhut. He is an angel on earth...love him so much.

That's great news! Glad everything worked out for you
