And the myomectomy's, the other surgeries to take out the fibroids, other

necessary again, a 2nd or even at times a 3rd time. Why do we put ourselves

through this over and over?

, the percentage of women requiring a second surgery due to regrowth of

fibroids, according to a statement of Dr. 's on a NUFF chat, is 15%. The

number of women who do experience regrowth is higher than that, but most remain

asymptommatic. So we know the risk we run and either we're comfortable with

that rate of risk or we're not.
