I typed a "book" answering another question about fibroids a minute ago, so I will paste my response to them here as well. I did have a myomectomy two months ago. My doc says I have a good chance of having another baby, but it will be high risk and I will have to have a C-section and then a hysterectomy afterward (since my uterus would be too weak to have another after one more pregnancy) Here was my previous response.

I was diagnosed about a year ago with a fibroid that was only 1cm within two months it had grown to 6 cm. We were trying to get pregnant at the time and I wasn't ovulating anymore because of the fibroid. My doctor gave me four options.

1. Uterine Embolization (They shoot styrofoam-like balls into one of the three arteries in your uterus through the top of your leg) It is not invasive. It is outpatient surgery. Not recommended if you are going to try to have another baby because they don't know how much blood flow is cut off to your uterus. Sometimes not much and sometimes those little balls can travel higher and shut down blood flow to your ovaries as well. My doctor didn't inform me of all of this. My cousin is a surgeon and I asked him about it. He gave me the details of pregnancy afterward. It's a GREAT option if you don't want anymore children though. Once it's done it's done.

2. A pill that is basically the morning after pill, but you take higher doses of it (2 or 3 a day). It has a good outcome from what my aunt said (she's an OBGYN nurse and she had fibroids too). The downfall is it is not permanent and the fibroid may only shrink around 60% and could start to re-grow later.

3. Myomectomy - I had an abdominal myomectomy in August. It was a painful surgery, but that fibroid is gone and it will never come back, BUT I could have others grow in the near future or years from now. We did the surgery to buy us a couple of years to try to have another baby although it will be a higher risk pregnancy. If I get pregnant, I WILL have to have a C-section and my doctor recommends a full blown hysterectomy during the C-Section because my body will not be able to withstand another pregnancy since the tumor covered the whole back wall of my uterus and it would be really weak.

4. The FINAL option - hysterectomy - that is about as permanent as you can get.

I hope this informed you a little bit more than what you already knew. I spent months dwelling over my options and now I feel like I made the right one. Talk to many people and get as many ideas and options as possible.

Hi Mary,

I get fibroids because I wanted to have a baby. I took pills which were releasing estrogen. A high dose of estrogen makes fibroids to grow fast. I didn't know about this by that time. Myomectomy is a way to have children later. I had a Hysteroscopy and an year later Embolization (blood vessels blocked to fibroids) . Unfortunately, they didn't work for me too. I saw a lot of well known doctors in NYC and all of them suggested Hysterectomy. I'm against removal of my organ.
Here comes a big secret in Fibroid field. They wont grow if one will take a birth control pill just with progestin. I recently learned about another secret of how to defeat fibroid. Progestin-Releasing IUD (Intrauterine Devices). Check also Endometrial ablation and Dilatation and Curettage (D&C). Please, before you see any doctor do a research and read tons of books about fibroids. Your and your doctors knowledge about fibroids theoretically must be absolutely equal, then go a head and talk to doctors who should be recommended by people you know. Let doctors tell you what you want to hear from them. Don't you dear give up. I'm fighting for almost five years and I hope yours wont be so long. Live with fibroids, just don't let them take over your life. Do a research, read a lot, have your eyes open and ask around.

The best to you and daughter.

P.S. I'm a foreigner.

Answer 6

I had a uterine fibroid about the size of a walnut for years,
I was told as long as it doesn't cause severe bleeding or
other problems, they wouldn't do anything about it. At times I did have heavy bleeding but that became normal
with time. I was probably in my 30's then and I read something somewhere that they shrink with menopause.
For the past few years I have been going through menopause, I was probably about 43 or 44, I've had ultrasounds for ovarian cysts and the fibroid was completely gone, no sign of it at all. It sounds like your daughter has alot of them, that's gotta be mighty painful.
I remember going to doctors and they would always say
probably hysterectomy eventually and I thought that was
not at option. I hope she finds something that works for her.

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/wTZGQ

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/38ZZc

Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.
