I am a very frustrated woman in need of support as I wade

through this quagmire to get the right help for my fibroids. I have

come to the conclusion that it is really about finding the most

skilled doctor to help me. I am really fed up with this crap these

doctors keep feeding me about hysterectomies. I am only 35 and

I do not want to make a decision like this unless it was

absolutely necessary, I want to keep my uterus and every doctor

that I have been to in the last several months keep pushing the

hysterectomy, as if it is my only alternative.

I live in Los Angeles, CA and I am really having a hard time trying

to find a surgeon to help me. I really want a myomectomy, but the

doctors keep saying that they are too large for a myomectomy.

Any information would be God send.

Please ....

Dear Neophyte, How large is 'too' large? And how many large

fibroids do you have and where is their location? What symptoms are

they causing? Yes, you need to find a skilled and caring doctor to

help you - hopefully someone will point you in the right direction

for LA. I'm 35 and had my myo in April and am very pleased.

However, my sister had a myo last year and is very unhappy - but we

had quite different problems, and her doctor turned out to be a bit

of a monster (mine an 'angel'). Post some more information about

your troubles to the group and you may get some useful advice. It's

a great place to ask and learn more. All the best in your quest for

the best solution. Clare.

To Sgaines32: I too have some of the exact symptoms of fibroids you have.

Heavy bleeding, clotting, low bad back pain, severe PMS problems, etc, etc.

I too went to the ER in March and the young attractive dr. said " oh yeah, you

will need a hysterectomy " . He hadn't even examined me or anything and I

thought he was way out of line saying that. Your fibroids are larger than

mine, but the small submucosal ones I have are sometimes the problem ones. I

found a dr. that I like now and we are proceeding slowly. He too put me on

BC pills, but they aren't too bad now and it gives me time to see what my

best option/s will be. Good luck.

Thanks Clare for the tips. I do not have the most accurate sizes

of the two largest ones. But the one that is running across my

abdomen under my navel is approximately 12-15 cm in length.

according to the ultrsound tech, my uterus has enlarged to ana

extent that it has lapsed over onto itself. My uterus is the size of

a

5-6 month pregancy. Anemic. Heavy periods with very bad

clotting. Heavy pressure on my bladder, which has me going to

the bathroom frequently. One of the last docotrs had put me on

birth control pill to help control the bleeding. Unfortunately, while

being on those pills I bleed as if I was hemorrhaging. I rushed to

the ER where some flippant doctor just told me to get a

hysterectomy and I will be okay. I also have terrible back pain.

Also, my pms symptoms are horrible: my entire abdomen feels

like it is about to drop into my abdomen, moodiness and

nausea.

I feel such a mess at times.

I just want the fibroids removed.

i also found this place in glendale calfiornia where the surgon

gurantee's you no matter what the the problem is with you female

organs he will not remove you uterus, overies or fallopian tubes.

the place is in gendale, i don't have the name right seach the web

but i belive it's called " female surgery center " or it maybe called

the female surgery institute(this website has great photo's of

people who had myomectomies and had huge fibroids removed.

I believe this is the clinic of the infamous Dr. Del Junco. You can

search the archives and files for deljunco, del junco or female

alternative surgery for more information.

Dear Neophyte,

I was lucky enough not to have the bleeding problems - just bulk

sitting on my bladder. If you want to preserve your fertility, then

you'll be looking at myo/UAE... I expect for treatment. If fertility

isn't a worry, then you may consider hyster. Ultimately, find a

couple of good doctors to seek the best solution for you. All the

best. Clare.

I am just wondering how big are your fibroids. At the time of my myo

my fibroid measured 19 cms. So don't let no doctor tell you that your

fibroids are too big for a myo.
