Sorry, forgot to add that I took systemic enzymes also. LinnOn May 20, 2010, at 10:17 PM, Linn wrote:

Lupron has some particularly nasty side effects. It's a chemo drug that mainstream docs sometimes use for gyn problems. Have you had your hormones checked? Progesterone deficiency is one of the major causes of fibroids. Lupron will further mess up your hormone levels. I had a severe case of adenomyosis and ended up anemic also. Really nasty symptoms, was told my only path to recover was a hyst. I did a little research because my doc wanted to take out my ovaries too, (since I was over 40) and discovered a wealth of information about synthetic and bio-id hormones which lead to further research regarding my problem. Long story short, cancelled the hysterectomy, found a doctor who was knowledgeable about bio-id hormones, starting supplementing progesterone which I was very low in, Armour and iodine and within a couple of months, my problems were gone.

Hi ,

I have never heard the term 'aborted' submucosal fibroid. Submucosal means it

is located within the uterine wall.

http://www.myomectomy.net/types_of_uterine_fibroids.htm

I assume you have had ultrasounds to diagnose these fibroids.

What size are they?

Can you further explain the 'aborted' description of the submucosal fibroid?

From the myomectomy website, you can see that you can have differing levels of

surgeries to remove the fibroids without taking the uterus.

From my experience and reading, I do not see that fibroids usually rupture.

Cysts rupture.

Ablation is also a procedure you could use to stem the bleeding without removal

of uterus.

I would probably look for a 2nd opinion by someone who specializes in

myomectomies.

I used Young Living's Lavender Essential Oil to help reduce my 12 fibroids to 2.

Mine were intramural and not interfering with the uterine lining and not causing

heavy bleeding. (visit my website at www.youngliving.com/dropbydrop).

This will be my only post on this topic as it's OT but wanted to put the word

out there as this is the most common unwarranted surgery (after C-section).

A hysterectomy (with or without ovary removal) is permanently damaging and will

cause many problems.  I urge you to go to www.hersfoundation.com to learn about

the effects of this surgery.  There is also information about the risks and

benefits of alternative treatments including Lupron.  HERS will provide

information via phone consultation or email.  Just go to the Contact link on

their home page.  The failure of doctors to provide women with Informed Consent

for Hysterectomy has prompted two in Congress (Rep. Bruce Borders of IN and Rep.

Carolyn Maloney of NY) to pursue legislation that will provide women with a

Female Anatomy DVD before signing a hysterectomy consent form.
