I had an ultrasound at the hospital which showed that I had a 10cm fibroids. Doctor Hussain has approved my surgury for a myomectomy. I have some concern because she said if there is an emergency that she will have to perform a hysterectomy. I told her that I want to have children. Im not sure whether to keep the tumor or get the sugury.
She has perscribed me the drug lupron to shrink the fibroid before sugury.However, I'm not sure to take this because I'm already on Birth Control Pills.
Hello,
Pain is a common symptom associated with fibroid and Anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen and mefenamic acid may help in easing this pain. Surgical methods are the mainstay of treatment include hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus (and the fibroids with it). Myomectomy is the selective removal of just the fibroids within the uterus. Myomectomy can be done through a laparoscope and hence you can opt for it.
