Re: Fertility and myomectomy in central PA

[Guest guest]

You are very lucky to be in PA. I am travelling from CT to see Dr/

Glassnerr and I heard taht people from all over the world travel

there. He is the one of the rare doctors who doesn't make you sign a

hysterectomy relese form.

Sorry to delurk without introducing myself and giving a little

background (will come back to that later), but I saw this post

yesterday and have been thinking about it all night.

Do most doctors " make you sign a hysterectomy release form " ? What

does this mean -- that I could go in for a myomectomy and come out

with a hysterectomy??? I'm scheduled for a myo next Thursday (one

fibroid, about 5cm), and my doctor hasn't said a word about such a

form. Am I in for a surprise when I go to the pre-op appointment next

week?

Any info/feedback would be appreciated :->

Lots of doctors would ask you to sign a hysterectomy release form,

saying " in case you start bleeding badly you give us permission to

stop it by removing you uterus out " In your case it's a small fibroid

and lots of people just leave it alone if it doesn't bother you. I

wonder also if you have an open myo or laposcopical one? I know that

with this size people do laposc. and in this case3 I guess they don't

worry about the blood loss.
