New here: So glad I obtained 3 MD opinions!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've found this site to be so especially helpful to me. I'm almost

46 and was diagnosed with a small,symptomatic submucosal fibroid last

year. My first MD recommended complete hysterectomy. Two months and

much blood loss later, a second MD recommended everything out

(ovarian cancer high, according to her). She put me on low-dose BC

pills but bled for another 40 days straight. I immediately

transferred all medical records to a Duke University MD where I was

diagnosed with an intramural and growing submucosal fibroid. The MD

scheduled me for a hysteroscopic resection and endometrial ablation.

So far NO BLEEDING! So, get those 2nd and 3rd opinions before doing

anything as drastic as removing precious organs from our bodies!
