Sonja,

As I understand it, the in-office hysteroscopy exam allows dr to see

the part of the fibroid that is extended into the uterus, but it

doesn't tell how much more is embedded in the uterine wall, right?

How can they estimate how deep it goes - ultrasound does not provide

a good idea of that I don't think.

Did your dr give you a drug after resection to cause the uterine

muscle to contract to help " squeeze out " the remaining part of the

fib that was still in the uterine wall? My dr mentioned an " off-

label " use of some drug to do this that he has had a lot of good

results with (can't remember the name - I will have to to call back

to the office to find out).

Thanks,

Jean
