Has anyone been down this road?

Lynn,

2 years ago I also had a D&C along with hysteroscopy to see what was going on

with my fibroids. My gyn also said he scrapped the ling of the uterus and

one of the fibroids. This helped to control my bleeding for one month only.

The next period, my bleeding came back just as heavy (and clotty as before). I

decided some months later to have a UAE. I did not want any more children, so

myo was really not an option for me. (But neither was hysterectomy.) I did

get good results from the embolization. Good luck.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the group and have enjoyed all the info I've been reading in these

posts.

I had a D&C and Hysteroscopy on Monday in hospital. I have had consistent

bleeding for the past 5 months and was diagnosed with a small interior fibroid

(via sonogram) in January. I've been to 3 doctors, all of whom had different

opinions on treatment (naturally, one of them recommended - a

hysterectomy!)

The doctor who performed my surgery said that my uterus had an abnormally

thick lining and she removed alot of tissue. She saw the fibroid and said it

wasn't insignificant, and could be removed if necessary via abdominal Myo.

Could a fibroid cause the uterine lining to thicken? Anyone have a D&C or

Hysteroscopy prior to Myo or other surgery? Is it possible that the removal of

tissue could solve my bleeding problem?

Any comments or input would be appreciated,

Lynn

Often a fibroid located inside the uterus can be removed vaginally

with a hysteroscopic resection. Not all doctors are trained to do

this surgery, so you may have to look to find one. If the fibroid

is imbedded in the uterine wall you would probably need the

abdominal myo. Anything inside the uterus that distorts it can

interfere with the normal uterine contractions and cause heavy

bleeding, so you really need to have it removed or bleeding problems

will probably continue.

Lynn, what kind of bleeding are you having? I was having severe

bleeding and hemmoraging from a 10 cm fibroid, and 2 cm fibroid.

Not sure which one was causing the bleeding but I guess it doesn't

matter anymore. I had a UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization) about 5

weeks ago. Bleeding has stopped for good. UFE is great for bleeding

problems, and bulk symtoms take a bit more time to resolve. You

might want to join the yahoo embo group to find out more info on

this. Jen
