UTERINE FIBROID (CRIS)

[Guest guest]

HI MY NAME IS CRIS FROM PUERTO RICO, I'M 36 YEARS OLD, MARRIED WITH NO CHILDREN.

I WENT TO THE FIRST DOCTOR WHO SAID I SHOULD REMOVE MY UTERUS, BUT I WENT TO

KNOW IF I COULD BE PREPARED TO HAVE A BABY. MY SECOND OPINION DID NOT KNOW ABOUT

ANYTHING BUT REMOVING THE FIBROIDS AND THERE WAS A CHANGE THAT I COULD LOOSE MY

UTERUS. MY THIRD OPINION SAID THAT UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLIZATION WAS A NEW

PROCEDURE THAT MIGHT NOT GUARANTEE MY FERTILITY, SO HE TOLD ME TO GO WITH THE

TREATMENT OF LUPRON COMBINED WITH PILLS (RESUPRO) TO DEAL WITH THE MENOPAUSE

SYMPTOMS. I HAVEN'T STARTED THE TREATMENT, BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR MY NEXT

PERIOD WHEN I'M SUPPOSED TO START.

WELL MY PELVIC SONOGRAM READS LIKE THIS: MY UTERUS IS ANTEVERTED AND ENLARGED.

IT MEASURES 15.2CMS IN LENGHT AND 7.8 X 6.4 CMS. IN AP AND TRANSVERSE DIAMETERS.

THE ENDOMETRIAL LINING MEASURES 1.1 CMS. IN DIAMETERS. A LARGE DOMINANT

SUBSEROUS FIBROID MEASURING 8.9 X 7.6 X 6.7 CMS. IS OBSERVED ARISING FROM THE

ANTERIOR FUNDAL WALL. ANOTHER SMALLER SUBSEROUS FIBROID MEASURING 3.2 X 2.9X

2.5 CMS. IS SEEN IN THE POSTERIOR WALLOF THE LOWR UTERINE SEGMENT. THE RIGHT

OVARY IS ENLARGED. IT MEASURES 4.7 X 3.1 X 2.3 CMS. AND PRESENTS A TWO SMALL

FOLLICLES OF LESS THATN 1.0 CMS IN DIAMETERS. THE LEFT OVARY IS SAMLL IN SIZE

AND FREE OF CYSTS.2.2 X 2.4 X 1.5 CMS. NO PELVIC MASSES OR FREE PELVIC FLUID IS

NOTED.

NOW WITH THIS INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME, DO YOU THINK IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT

WITH THE TREATMENT THEY COULD SHRINK, GET REMOVED AND HOPE SOME DAY TO HAVE A

BABY. I'M DESPERATE, AND DEPRESSED WITH THIS SITUATION. IF SOMEONE HAS BEEN

THROUGH THIS, PLEASE GIVE ME HOPE.

THANKS FOR READING. CRIS
