Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Hello, During a recent pelvic exam I learned that I have a 7cm fibroid in my uterus. Up until a few months ago I didn't have any symptoms and now my periods are irregular and last on average 12 days. I'm not anemic, but do tend to be physically exhausted around this time and most recently my pelvic area is sore to the touch. I explained this to my doctor and he suggested surgery - 3 months on Lupron to try to shrink the fibroid in order to do a lapro instead of myo. My doctor said that it is odd to have a fibroid at my age - I'm in my late 20s. I was wondering how many of you are in the same situation and if you have recently had surgery what type of recovery period you have had. My symptoms are not that unbearable and I am wondering if I should wait to have surgery. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
