What Causes Fibroid Cysts
I have a bevy of health problems, mostly Neurological, however recently I have been having heavy bleeding and?
irregular period. So, I went to my OB, and she said she thought I had Fibroid Cysts, however every time I try to find information on it, it just leads to hysterectomy.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this condition ie, symptoms, causes, I am having an ultrasound next week, what will that entail, and finally, should it turn out to be what she thinks it is, is the course of action a hysterectomy? It's ok, b/c I don't think I could adequately care for a baby being disabled. However, I am in the dark on this one. If you can help I would sincerely appreciate it.
thanks to you,
Sorry, I don't think I made that clear....I am disabled b/c I have damage to my rt frontal lobe of my brain and also broken facets in my neck from C1-C4 and cyrvical dystonia, not from this condition that I just found out about. I know that you do not become disabled from a hysterectomy.
Thanks for leading me to clarify
edit: oops sorry I'm not sure who was in the wrong, it's better it's cleared up though. I have deleted my comment now as it's useless.
But fibroids don't need to be removed at all. It depends what and how much trouble they are causing. You can also just get the fibroids removed. Why a complete hysterectomy?

I thought there was a treatment where they lasered a layer of something off, which lightened or stopped periods, but I must be thinking of another condition. Endometrial ablation I think it is called?

Here is a quick link about endometrial ablation with fibroids (I don't know how good it is, just throwing it out for you) http://www.heavybleeding.com/uterine_fibroids_and_ablation.htm
Ultrasounds: They don't hurt. They will put jelly on your stomach like with a pregnancy, just to look in your abdomen. They might hurt if you needed a trans-vaginal or pelvic ultrasound but I don't know enough about this to know what kind you would be getting. It's one of those things that are described as "very uncomfortable but not painful" by people who've had one.
(Sorry for the length but I also found this if you are interested. Dont know if this is just people trying to sell a product or not:)
"Prolonged use of natural progesterone has been proven to shrink the fibroids completely.
Estrogen stimulates their growth and lack of estrogen causes them to atrophy (shrink)"
"As estrogen levels tend to increase prior to the onset of menopause, this may cause the size of many fibroids to increase. This may cause an increase in symptoms as well. During menopause, the levels of estrogen decrease 40 to 60 percent, causing fibroids to shrink.
This is also the reason why if sufficient natural PROGESTERONE CREAM is placed in the body, the uterine fibroids will generally decrease in size, will reduce most hormone imbalance symptoms and they can be kept from growing until menopause after which they will atrophy. "
(and someone saying) "I'm confused about progesterone. One the one hand, natural progesterone cream is supposed to be good for fibroids, on the basis that it balances an excess of estrogen that seems to cause them to grow. On the other hand, RU-486 shrinks fibroids, and that's a progesterone inhibitor! "
-- Neither progesterone cream nor RU-486 has, at this point in time, been proven to resolutely shrink fibroids. The information we have on use of progesterone cream is truly theoretical and not well-founded in science. It seems to help some women and make others' situations worse.
--The use of progesterone to treat women with uterine fibroids is hotly debated. One side holds that fibroids are created by lack of progesterone. The other side makes, to my mind, the better case: that progesterone increases fibroids. Evidence? Fibroids increase in size during pregnancy, when progesterone production is high, and atrophy after menopause, when progesterone levels decrease.
-- Major advances have been made in surgical treatments for women with fibroids. There are many options now besides hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), including hysteroscopic resection, uterine embolization, myomectomy, and suprecervical hysterectomy. Since these are fairly new procedures, take the time to find a surgeon who is skilled in the procedure.)
