treatment options for large fibroid(s)

[Guest guest]

Hello. I need some help figuring out what my treatment options are. The

preliminary results of my second ultrasound are that the fibroid(s) are

distending my uterus similar to that of a 5-month pregnancy. As the

technician so kindly put it, " Your uterus is basically one big fibroid. "

So much for bedside manner.

I'm 40, am not in a relationship, and don't feel strongly about trying to

get pregnant. Does this necessarily mean hysterectomy? I thought I could

just wait them out 'til after menopause, but they're growing pretty fast,

and I'm starting to feel some cramping and pinching in the front of my

uterus, in addition to low back pain that's similar to menstrual cramps.

I'm also just tired a lot of the time, and tired of dealing with this. And

today I feel particularly discouraged.

Do any of you have success stories to share about non-invasive procedures

with large fibroids?

Thanks,

Heidi
