Has anyone ever had an abdominal myomectomy to remove fibroids? |
I am having this surgery at the end of July. I am wondering about other's experience with it. I have three fibroid tumors that the Dr. is going to remove. One submucosal, this is the major one. It is the size of a 16 wk old baby. They tell me that this is the best surgery to preserve fertility. Is it really 4 week recovery time? My gosh, I am dreading this! I had abdominal myomectomy when I was 24. The fibroids were many and as big as size of 16 weeks pregnancy. I didn't feel any pain for those fibroids but I had heavy bleeding and anemia. So doctors decided to go through surgery. Before surgery, doctor gave me 4 shots of Luprone to reduce the size of the fibroids ( I don't understand why was that necessary) After that I had surgery. Doctors removed 28 tumors and many more were left inside the uterus which were so tiny that could not be removed. It took around 4 weeks to recover. I had to take light food during this time. The most painful time was when I got sense from aneshthia effect. I felt vomit, temperature then but doctors gave me medicines to reduce the pain. Just after 6 days of the surgery I took a flight, after 7 days I had an interview and after 1 month I started my MBA classes. I hope you will have the surgery with no problem with the surgery. By the way, the tumors grow back within 1 year as big as size of 20 weeks pregnancy. But luckily I got pregnant after 22 months of the surgery. Now I'll have surgery to give birth of the baby but I don't know what my doctor would do with my uterus. Good luck. |
