Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Hello everyone! I recently found your group and I am very happy to be joining you all. I am 27 years old and was diagnosed with fibroids October 2001 when I was 25 years old. I have 3 fibroids in the shape of " mickey mouse " that sit at the top of my uterus and they are the size of a 4 month pregnancy. I have no children and will be hoping to conceive at the end of this year. I did not use to have symptoms but now I have frequent trips to the bathroom, feeling of fullness, and painful sex. It does not occur all the time but I know that they are there. My last exam in November'03 revealed by ultrasound that they have not grown very much but my symptoms warrant surgery....abdominal myomectomy. I have a second opinion at the end of this month because I do not know what to do. They are too big to attempt laparoscopic so that choice is out. I was wondering if I could chance it and just try to get pregnant with the fibroids in or would it be better to have them removed? I get mixed responses so I was wondering if women who are dealing with my issues could offer me some advice. I live in Columbus Ohio and I have only found one physician that does UAE but that extreme pain afterwards is not very appealling to me. Any suggestions?
