Had a Myo for large pedunculated?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

If you had one large {partially} pedunculated fibroid [somewhere near

9x10x11], no indication of others and had a myomectomy, I'd like to hear

about your experience. Specifically, I'd like to know how the surgery and

recoup was for you. And if you have had any regrowths, if it's been a while

since your surgery [esp. if you are not menopausal]. And anything else

about your previous symptoms, how you decided, etc.

My gyno is asserting that I have less risk of regrowth, since I just have

one, thinks the surgery will be a relative breeze, since it's pedunculated.

Would love to hear from others.

Feel free to 'reply all', if you'd like.

Wishing you all health and peace.

I had one of those 2 years ago.

Once I finally got into the OR it was a breeze. Relatively little pain,

one day recovery time.

I was good for a year and then started bleeding heavily again...

I was then given given Lupron by injection...once a month for three months.

It took a month for the bleeding to lesson and then stop.

It stopped the heavy bleeding.

That was a year ago.

I now have scant regular periods.

I am 52 years old.

best of luck.

Hi , I just had one removed that had degenerated and prolapsed into my

cervix..my advice would be get that out as soon as you can. Mine was so easy

to remove vaginally and I felt better in a few days.

Your penunculated fibroid was removed VAGINALLY?? How is that possible? I

understood that pedunculated fibroids are attached to the OUTSIDE of the uterus.

Please explain. I have a huge pedunculated (among others!) If there was

any way to remove it vaginally, I would be *thrilled*.

Can you describe your procedures?

Elana,

Pedunculated fibroids can be internal or external. I had one internally near my

cervix which was remove via hysteroscopic resection back about 5-6 years ago. It

was a relatively easy procedure (except for the creepy anesthesiologist and

incompetent that started my IV).

It was done in outpatient surgery. Somewhere I have a photo of the alien beast.

It improved my symptoms from fibroids and bleeding for several years until all

the transmural fibroids took over and made my life miserable again.
