Getting Pregnant After Fibroid Surgery
Wife had hysterecomy and is now suffering worse than before-help!!?
During our second child my wife was discovered that she had fibroid tumors and emdomytriosis, this caused a lot of pain but she wanted another child.
With the third pregnancy everything went downhill, she was bed ridden for 8 weeks.
After surgery she had so many complications, ruptured once and has since(5months) shown zero improvment.
In fact it is getting worse.
Her stomach pain is so bad that she can rarely get out of bed, she now is a full 15 inches larger around her mid section than when she was pregnant.
She will get bigger in a matter of days if she is in pain.
We have had every test known done and I feel we should switch Doctors.
But she feels a connection with the one she has.
MY question is has anyone out there had similar experiences?
And what did you do to get better, life is pretty bad as she is unable to care for the three children and in now suffering from depression.
Current medical concoction methadone, oxycodone, many others.
Someone please help!!
It sounds like they may not have removed as much of the endometriosis lesions as possible. Unfortunately hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis as some people would like to think it is.
I agree that she should get another opinion. I have a wonderful relationship with my OB/GYN of almost 10 years but in 2003 I went and got a second opinion from another OB/GYN to make sure that my dr and I weren't missing anything. Turned out the other OB/GYN discovered that my pain issues in part have to do with my bladder.
I would also recommend having her evaluated by a Pain Management specialist that has experience with chronic pain due to gynecologic conditions such as endometriosis. Also, ask her what she thinks about having her records evaluated by one of the top specialists for their opinion.
Getting a second opinion may not mean that she will have to change drs at all and just let her know that you are concerned that something might have been missed and just want her to cover all her bases.

Getting Pregnant With Fibroids - The Impact of Fibroids on Pregnancy
If you are considering starting a family, this can be both an exciting and yet worrying time. If you know that you have uterine fibroids, this can add an extra burden of worry in addition to those felt by all would-be parents.
Getting pregnant with fibroids may not be as big an issue as you are expecting. You will be pleased to know that the majority of women with fibroids do go on to have normal, healthy pregnancies, followed by a normal delivery. However, it cannot be denied that problems can occur in a small number of cases.
Having fibroids is not a "natural" state. It is undeniably a sign that something is wrong within the body. Therefore, if you are aware that you have fibroids and are hoping to conceive, it may be sensible to explore your options to get rid of your fibroids naturally. Surgery or hormonal treatment would rarely be recommended art this crucial time, but natural treatments to shrink fibroids can be very beneficial for your overall good health.
Many women prepare their bodies for pregnancy by eating a healthy diet, exercising more, having health checks and perhaps taking appropriate vitamin and mineral supplements. Taking steps to shrink your fibroids to minimize the possibility of fibroids having any possible negative impact makes perfect sense.
Getting pregnant with fibroids can be difficult if your fibroids are in a position which obstructs the passage of sperm, for example at the entrance to the fallopian tubes or just inside the cervix. In a small number of women who have submucosal fibroids, these can distort the uterine cavity making implantation impossible, or they can sometimes cause a very early miscarriage. In pregnancies which are progressing normally, problems can occasionally occur closer to delivery. A larger fibroid may bring birth forward by 2 or 3 weeks or may bring about the need for a cesarean if the fibroid is low down and partially obstructing the cervix.
Fibroids are a condition which respond very well to natural remedies and they are an ideal condition to treat because as they are so rarely life-threatening. It makes complete sense to try out a natural treatment for fibroids before resorting to surgery or any of the hormonal drugs which can cause their own side effects. In the case of pregnancy, most women want to ensure that they are giving themselves and their baby the best possible chances and naturally, a fibroid-free environment is best for both.
