Does Fibroid Move
I have fibroid, what to do?
My oby-gyne called me today and told me that I have a 6cm fibroid. I was terrified when she said that I have to have this removed. Is there anyone here that can give me some advice? I read some articles that there are medicines out there that a woman can take to shrink these type of growths, I mention it to her, but she said mine is kind of big and medicine or pill won't work. Was she being honest, or maybe she just wants to have another patient for surgery. She's my new oby-gyne, I switched because my old doctor moved. I'm willing to have the surgery if this is the best way to get rid of it.
Also, I have a constant pelvic pain, specially everytime I do some type of movement that requires bending...
The presence of fibroids does not mean that they need to be treated; it is expectantly depending on the symptomatology and presence of related conditions. The presence of uterine fibroids can cause problems which can be solved by:
Surgery: Surgical removal of a uterine fibroid usually takes place via hysterectomy, in which the entire uterus is removed, or myomectomy, in which only the fibroid is removed. It is possible to remove multiple fibroids during a myomectomy. Although a myomectomy cannot prevent the recurrence of fibroids at a later date, such surgery is increasingly recommended, especially in the case of women who have not completed bearing children or who express an explicit desire to retain the uterus. There are three different types of myomectomy:
In a hysteroscopic myomectomy, the fibroid is removed by the use of a resectoscope, an endoscopic instrument that can use high-frequency electrical energy to cut tissue. Hysteroscopic myomectomies can be done as an outpatient procedure, with either local or general anesthesia used.[8] Hysteroscopic myomectomy is most often recommended for submucosal fibroids. A French study collected results from 235 patients suffering from submucous myomas who were treated with hysteroscopic myomectomies; in none of these cases was the fibroid greater than 5 cm.[9]
A laparoscopic myomectomy requires a small incision near the navel. The physician then inserts a laparoscope into the uterus and uses surgical instruments to remove the fibroids. Studies have suggested that laparoscopic myomectomy leads to lower morbidity rates and faster recovery than does laparotomic myomectomy.[10] As with hysteroscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy is not generally used on very large fibroids. A study of laparoscopic myomectomies conducted between January 1990 and October 1998 examined 106 cases of laparoscopic myomectomy, in which the fibroids were intramural or subserous and ranged in size from 3 to 10 cm.[11]
A laparotomic myomectomy (also known as an open or abdominal myomectomy) is the most invasive surgical procedure to remove fibroids. The physician makes an incision in the abdominal wall and removes the fibroid from the uterus. A particularly extensive laparotomic procedure may necessitate that any future births be conducted by Caesarean section.[12] Recovery time from a laparatomic procedure is generally expected to be four to six weeks.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE): Using interventional radiology techniques, the Interventional Radiologist occludes both uterine arteries, thus reducing blood supply to the fibroid [13] . A small catheter (1 mm in diameter) is inserted into the femoral artery at the level of the groin under local anesthesia. Under imaging guidance, the interventionnal radiologist will enter selectively into both uterine arteries and inject small (500 µm) particles that will block the blood supply to the fibroids. This results in shrinking of the fibroids and of the uterus, thus alleviating the symptoms in most cases. Uterine Artery Embolization is now recognized as a viable alternative to hysterectomy and most women suffering from fibroid related symptoms can be treated with this technique.
Medical therapy: First line treatment may involve oral contraceptive pills, either combination pills or progestin-only, in an effort to manage symptoms. If unsuccessful, further medical therapy involves the use of medication to reduce estrogens in an attempt to create a medical menopause-like situation. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs are used for this. GNRH analogs, however, are short term treatments only. Selective progesterone receptor modulators, such as Progenta, were under investigation in 2005, because their use as therapeutic agents was desired.
HIFU (High intensity focused ultrasound), also called Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive intervention (requiring no incision) that uses high intensity focused ultrasound waves to ablate (destroy) tissue in combination with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which guides and monitors the treatment. This technique is relatively new; it was approved by the FDA in 2004
Fibroids Miracle by Amanda Leto
Fibroids Miracle is one of the best selling guides for women who want to get rid of their fibroids naturally, without drugs, surgery or other unnecessary intervention. I was sent a complimentary copy of the book by Amanda Leto and asked to take a look at it following its recent updating.
Having been an advocate of using natural treatments for all manner of conditions, I have a particular interest in fibroids treatment as I have seen many women suffer unnecessarily for prolonged periods of time. Indeed I have often written about various simple remedies for shrinking fibroids and have also often recommended holistic cures which have seen a good degree of success for many women.
I didn't really know what to expect when I received Amanda's email but at the earliest opportunity I delved into the masses information I had been sent and I had one word to describe how I felt-<b>Excited</b>.
Quite simply, this was the most well put-together system for eliminating fibroids that I had ever seen. It is written in a clear, no-nonsense way and is, quite simply, the most comprehensive resource I have ever seen on the subject of fibroids.
Not only does Fibroids Miracle offer workable instructions on how to get relief from your uncomfortable and painful symptoms, it provides straightforward, simple to understand steps which will teach you how to get rid of your fibroids altogether and there is a clear distinction here. There is no doubt that the subject can be very confusing and many women feel that there is so much information out there on the internet (some of it conflicting!) that it is difficult to know what to do for the best. What makes Fibroids Miracle different is the close attention paid to every single element required to help you eliminate your fibroids. After reading this book you will certainly be left in no doubt as to what steps are required.
One of the other aspects which I particularly liked was plan is not a "one size fits all" it allows customization for your unique set of symptoms and root causes, meaning faster and more reliable results. Within its 250 jam-packed pages, Amanda gives a complete and detailed overview of each step and there are very detailed charts and checklists which make this step-by-step approach virtually foolproof.
However, what really sets it apart from the rest is the 3 months private email support offered by Amanda and it is only when you think about how much this type of contact would typically cost with a specialist within the field that you begin to realise how valuable this is.
One thing which you must understand is that there is no "quick-fix" as far as natural fibroid treatment is concerned. Indeed, Amanda quite rightly stresses that you will need to take charge of your own treatment and be prepared to make worthwhile changes to ensure success.
What I am prepared to say is that I feel that Fibroids Miracle will be the last resource you will ever need. With a publication of such high quality, it is difficult to find any aspect to criticise but the only thing I would say is that initially, you may find the amount of information overwhelming as even though I have personally researched and written about fibroids for over 2 years, there was so much in there which I didn't know! However, simply take your time and slowly digest the information and then formulate your own plan, making full use of the charts and checklists and you could be seeing a real difference within a couple of weeks.
Fibroids Miracle is, quite simply, groundbreaking, and I am confident that you will feel utter relief that you have finally found something that will genuinely help you get rid of your fibroids.

About the Author
Gail advocates using natural treatments for fibroids rather than using conventional medication or surgery as this is a workable long term solution. Conventional medication only treats the symptoms and fibroids are likely to regrow, whereas natural treatments, when used properly can eliminate the root cause by rebalancing the body and restoring overall health.
