Hysterscopic Resection

[Guest guest]

I recently had a hysterscopic resection of a 3.8cm submucous

fibroid. I had a follow up appointment and my doctor told me that I

need to have a second resection as he was only able to get about 1/2

of the fibroid. Has anyone had this same type of experience with a

resection? I was aware that there was a risk that the doctor would

not be able to get the entire fibroid, but was slightly upset to

find out he only got half of it (especially as he told me he got 80-

90% of it after the surgery was complete). Is it possible that the

fibroid is growing back so quickly? I had the surgery at the end of

January. Thanks!

I had my first historcopic reduction in Feb 03 on 5 cm firbord She said No

problem i got it all. By Oct o3 i had symtoms again and it grew back I had

another 2nd Hystocopic rediction this time on a 7cm Firbord she said i got most

of

it. Two mouths latter guess what it back 5 cm Fibiord. she said they do not

recomend doing hystocopic redection over and over again.

I am going through something very similar. I had a 4cm

fibroid removed last October (03) and need to have

another resection. I am in the midst of schedualing

the resection for sometime in April.

Mine isn't the " same " fibroid but it is very close to

the area of the 1st fibroid. My RE told me and showed

me pictures of the 1st fibroid it was totally removed

and my uterus looked free of fibroids. I hadn't had a

" normal " period since the resection and went last week

to my RE and see what was up. He did a saline sonogram

and found a 3cm and another tiny one starting.

So to answer your question YES it can grow that

quickly. Your doctor should have told you the truth

about only removing 1/2 instead of the 80-90% that he

told you. But it doesn't matter if the " whole " (I hate

fractions ) fibroid isn't removed it will grow

back.

Ask your doctor to show you the before and after

pictures. And ask more questions before you

rescheduale your resection. I know I have a few more.

Good Luck!
