i have had mymectomy on fibroid and had about 86 noddles removed 7 weeks ago, and i still have pain in lower abdomen and around my naval region.
i want to know if the number of fibroids noddles removed can determine your healing process or prolong it?

Hysterscopy is inseration of a scope through cervix into uterus  it goes ot computer screen and dr can see all, this is only a diagnostic test adverage thickness of uterous wall  is 2.5


Using interventional radiology techniques, the interventional radiologist occludes both uterine arteries, thus reducing blood supply to the fibroidA small catheter  is inserted into the femoral artery at the level of the groin under local anesthesia. Under imaging guidance, the interventional radiologist will enter selectively into both uterine arteries and inject small (500 µm) particles that will block the blood supply to the fibroids. A patient will usually recover from the procedure within a few days. The procedure results in the supposed shrinking of the fibroids and of the uterus, , misembolization, loss of ovarian function, unsuccessful fibroid expulsion, pain, foul vaginal odor, hysterectomy, and failure of embolization surgery\

your probably enemic because of heavy blood loss do counselt your Dr, ( remember none of us are doctors..)

best wishes Cherie

Just wanted to share also that I was watching The Discovery Channel one day and they had a young asian woman give birth to a healthy baby.  They showed her uterus and it was completely riddled with fibroids.  They were everywhere on it and very big ones to.

I wouldnt stress too much about the fibroid.

I really think you should read this article:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000914.htm

It says in there that fibroids generally do not interfere with fertility unless the fibroids are blocking the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked than the sperm cant enter them for example.  After a pregnancy is established, existing fibroids may grow due to the increased blood flow and estrogen levels. These usually return to their original size after the baby has been delivered.

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, the patient's age, whether or not she is pregnant, the desire for future pregnancies, her general health, and characteristics of the fibroids. Some women may just require monitoring of the fibroid. This requires pelvic exams or ultrasounds every once in a while.

A myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove just the fibroids. It is frequently the chosen treatment for premenopausal women who want to have children, because it usually can preserve fertility. Another advantage of a myomectomy is that it controls pain or excessive bleeding that some women with uterine fibroids have.

What it all boils down to is: that is something you are going to have to discuss and decide with your doctor and thats because your fibroid size and position needs to be taken into account.  

Hope this info helps some.
