UPDATE on my Hysteroscopic Resection!!

May 4, 2004

Hello,

So glad to hear that your hysteroscopic resection was successful, (We all love

to hear positive stories)

If you don't mind I'll like to ask a question,

I read on your post about the watery discharge, I have fibroids, the largest one

measured (MRI and ultrasound done in Feb.) 12cm, anyway, my symptoms are also

heavy periods, however, not has heavy has you have described yours to be. Mine

last approx. 7 - 8 days with day 3 and 4 being the heaviest, about 4 or max. 5

super pads a day, I have no pain at all, I never experienced frequent urination

(with the exception of a few days during my period) swollen abdomen and this

watery discharge.

My Dr. has cultured it for anything and everything, however, all tests came back

negative and she really doesn't know why this is happening, she never said that

it could be fibroid related, this discharge appears immediately after my period

and stops completely after I ovulate, it is driving me insane and it's being

going on for over a year now (this started BEFORE my fibroid grew to this size)

I have an appointment with a RE in one week and hope that he can help me to get

rid of these fibroids and related symptoms as they have now taken over my life

and I'm ready to just GET THEM OUT OF ME!!!

Anyway, I would really be interested in what information you have regarding the

discharge.

Sorry for the long post,

Thank you.

UPDATE on my Hysteroscopic Resection!!

I still have many fibroids with a 4 month size uterus but I just

wanted everyone to know that the hysteroscopic resection was a BIG

success!! BUT, I still have the yellow watery discharge that I was

told was from the fibroids. Initially, I was told that it would go

away once the submucosal one was removed but it never did.

Hi Everyone,

It's been 15 months and I really have to say that my Hysteroscopic

resection for my submucosal fibroid has been a BIG success!!

Many of you remember that I have massive bleeding and severe anemia.

Towards the end, I was taking 4 Slow FE a day just to keep my

hemoglobin at 10. practically all month with clots the size and

texture of sheets of beef liver coming out. Sometimes 6-8 inches by 6-

8 inches. I would go through 120 super plus tampax in 24 hours plus

big pads. Now my period lasts for 3 days with the worst on day one.

On day one, I only go through 20 super plus tampax, but then the

period actually slows done and STOPS!!

Thanks for posting on your success with resection. I think that it

is important for women in this group to know of this option. The

first doctor I saw for my heavy bleeding didn't even mention it as

an option - guess what? He doesn't do resections! After finding

this group and learning that my problems could be solved with an out

patient surgery I found a local doctor to do a resection. I am

shocked by the number of women who post on this site with bleeding

from submucousal fibroids whose doctors never mentioned resection.

Often times these women are told to watch and wait. I think that

what the doctor wants them to wait for is to be so miserable that

they consent to a hysterectomy. My advice is to women with

submucousal fibroids is not to wait until the fibroid gets too large

to have a resection. It is much easier to recover from a resection

than an abdominal myo, hysterectomy or even UAE.

What is a resection, I have NEVER heard of it? Can you please explain the

procedure? Who was the doctor that did this for you? Thank you so much for

sharing this!
