I was told that hysteroscopic myos could only be done on fibroids under 3 cms....... Would much prefer to have the myo without the cutting, if possible.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Hello everyone, I've been reading the posts for a while - doing some info gathering. I'm scheduled for a myo on 11/9 with a Dr. Walsh at Brigham and Women's in Boston, MA. Anyone out there seen him or have feedback? My single fibroid (I hope) is 10 x 8 x 8. I've had all of the usual symptoms you describe. I'm very anxious to get the surgery over with. thanks in advance for any info Kath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
