Fibroid Tumors
When should you consider having fibroid tumors removed?
My doc says I have two small ones. The pain is not that bad...when should you consider removal? Since they are harmless should I just ignore it?
Just asking for general opinions from women who may have experience.
Uterine fibroids are, as your doc may have told you, benign tumours of the uterine tissue. As such they, themselves are not a health threat but they do cause problems by their size as they grow.
They are usually slow growing and the only danger they present is that sooner or later a large uterine artery will rupture and a large bleed will occur. It's at this time you'll most likely have to undergo a hysterectomy - removal of the uterus.
You can have the hysterectomy now and get the fibroids out now and make it such a small operation as these tumors can grow to to the size of water melons. Or, you can wait until something more involved develops and the operation is larger and more complex.
Depends on the size of the fibroids too. Small ones can mean a vaginal hysterectomy while large ones need an abdominal entry operation.
