Large fibroids
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 3:34 am
Hello.
I am a 38 year old black woman with several fibroids. The largest is about 73 mm by 66 mm and another is about 79 mm. I have been advised to have either a myomectomy or a hysterectomy. I am not keen on surgery and would prefer a less invasive option. I am also anaemic and taking iron suppliments as I cannot be operated on until my iron level rises to normal.
I have read that fibroids are more common in black women and do not necessarily cause harm. I do not bleed heaviliy nor do I have severe pain when menstrating. Furthermore, my abdomen is not extended or swollen. The fibroids were discovred on a routine check. Do I really have to have the operation?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
