Surgery To Remove Fibroids
Fibroids?? What has your experience been like? Did you have surgery?
I just came from the doctor and it turns out I have fibroids. So far my experience has been a dull aching pain in my pelvic region, especially when I sneeze or cough or if I stand up after sitting for a long time. It gets worse right before my period starts. I also feel fullness and pressure in the pelvic region. Is this similar to you. My doctor prescribed some anti-imflamatories and an iron pill for anemia. I am undecided about whether or not to have them surgically removed.
If you have had the surgery, how long were you in the hospital? Where you in a lot of pain? How long was the recovery? Did they come back?
I recently had surgery. I had a large fibroid tumor (4 cm), which was causing a lot of pain & heavy bleeding during periods. My gyn was concerned if it continued to grow she would not be able to remove it vaginally, or I would wind up in the ER for an emergency hysterectomy. I had outpatient surgery, went in at 7 am, surgery at 9 am, into recovery room at 10:30 am. Sent home at 11:45 am. I had some pain after, but NOTHING as bad as what I had already experienced. Painkillers kept the pain under control. I could have gone back to work after 3 days or so, but I had adverse reactions to the antibiotics. Surgically I was fine, felt sooo much better. Glad I did it, I would definitely do it again if my pain level & bleeding ever get to that point again. It's too soon to tell if anything will grow back, but if it does I would have the procedure again. No incisions in my case, just vaginal removal under anesthesia. I was also borderline anemic due to the tumor requiring such a large amount of blood supply. Keep an open dialogue with your Dr. Sometimes they just wait & see how large they grow and if they're causing a lot of pain and/or heavy bleeding. The ultimate decision will be your Dr. and your quality of life not having the surgery. Good luck!! Email if you have any questions about my experience. Everyone is different & fibroids are very common. Some women don't even know they have them, some have major problems caused by them (such as my case).
