Unsure if symptoms are from fibroid

by tlee59, May 02, 2008 09:08PM
I am 49 with a 4 inch uterine fibroid.  My Dr. keeps trying to talk me into other options besides surgery (the pill, an IUD, etc...).  I have had a problem with spotting (anywhere from barely noticeable to seeming like the beginning of my period that just stops) at least once or twice a week.  My periods are irregular, every two to six weeks.  Something new that I'm not sure is from the fibroid is a problem with some incontinence and more vaginal discharge than normal.  Although I did have a yeast infection following a large dose of antibiotics after surgery, that has been cleared up.  
Does anyone have any experience with this?

I think it would be good to get a second opinion.  I'm 45 and just had my yearly in Oct which my regular GYN.  Kept having problems and my family doctor wasn't happy with what was going on and SHE sent me to a GYN/Oncologist.  I think it would be a good thing to try and see someone else about this to see what they think.  I just had a complete hyster on April 18th and SO FAR I haven't regretted it.  I've had issue's since 2006, so you just have to decide what you feel you need, because only you really know what you've been up to.  

Keep us posted.  Sharon :)
