Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Hi, I was first diagnosed with 1 fibroid about 8 years ago. I went in for a routine exam in November when they did the exam the Dr. said my uterus was the size of a 16 week pregnancy. No wonder I look 6 mos pregnant! When they did the ultrasound they found 4 fibroids. They range in size from 13 mm to 30 mm, so they are not real big. I do feel a lot of pressure and have heavy periods but I'm not sure what I shoud do about them at this point. I am only 33 and I just do not feel like a hysterectomy is the answer. My Dr. did say he could give me Depo Provera shots and they may shrink, but there is so many side effects with that. I would also like to possibly have 1 more baby, I now have 2 boys. I would like to find a Dr. that isn't pro hysterectomy, I was told at age 25 when they first found the fibroid to have a baby and then get a hysterectomy. Can you tell me how to go about finding a good Dr. I am near the Salt Lake City Utah area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
