Does anyone has large fibroid? Does your doctor remove your whole uterus? Please tell your operation procedure |
My doctor just found out that I have an uterine fibroid. The size is about 10cm. I am so worry that the doctor will remove my whole uterus. Treatment will depend on the symptoms you have, whether or not you are finished having children, the size and location of your fibroid and your health. That being said, I had a large fibroid (size of a grapefruit) and due to non-stop bleeding, the doctor and I opted for the hysterectomy. The methods of treatment include: hormonal medications myomectomy (removal only of the fibroid) artery embolization (closing off the blood supply to the fibroid) D & C hysterectomy As you can see, a hysterectomy is not the only option. The doctor will discuss all your options with you and you will decide on the course to follow together. Source(s): I'm an R.N. |
