Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I was diagonosed 6 months ago with 3 uterine fibroids. To say the least, my first gyno and my second opinion gyno have been no help at all. The first one took an ultrasound and said without a doubt, you need a full hysterectomy......I wasn't happy with that answer. I called his office and asked if there was some other procedure he could do. His office answered, no he says you need a full hysto. Then the nurse was kind enough to add " hysto's are the only procedures he knows! " I thanked her for her honesty but was shocked at the fact he wouldn't refer me to another doctor that might have other options. I finanally found a female gyno (that I was told by my general is on the cutting edge of procedures) for a second opinion. She said yes that I did have other options, but if the problems/symptoms weren't not bothering me, that I should take the do nothing approach. I tried that for a couple of months and my symptoms have gotten worse! Extremely heavy bleedding, back pain, problems breathing you name it I have it. So I went back to her thinking ok I have a couple of options lets talk again....wouldn't you know it, when I went back the second time, she now decides that I need a full hysto. I am sure that now some of my systoms are probably frustration related. Help does anyone know a doctor in the Los Angeles area that can really help me? I am desperate! I am 43 no children and about to be married for the first time, if my fiance doesn't leave me, from not being able to have sex! Please help does anyone have any suggestions?
