Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I was told that birth control may be able to shrink the fibroids. Also, fibroids grow due bleeding so the more you bleed the more the fibroids will grow. I had a sonogram in January and unfortunately being uneducated about fibroids I didn't ask the questions of what type, how many, how big. I am 32 and hysterectomy has been mentioned as an end to the fibroids but so definite. I am having a hysteroscopy and a D&C tomorrow so hopefully I will have a clearer idea what is going on inside of me. Best of luck to you. > I was diagnosed with multiple fibroids 6 months ago. had ultrasound & > MRI, " chock full " I was told too many to count. 2 are lemon sized. > My uterus is approx 4month preg. size.
