I had surgery a year ago to remove a huge fibroid,and a few small one’s. Now I am 5 months pregnant wondering has anyone had fibroids removed surgically, and gave birth vaginally without complications?

I may have uterine fibroid and i know i what to have surgery before having kids. Just need to know how long most people stay in the hospital after surgery? One of my friend says it is a day and i think it is longer then that. Thank you to all who help out with this one.

my doctor advised me for surgery, as iam a working women i cant stay in the hospital for more days. i heard abt laparoscopic surgery, how it is, which is the best hospital to do it

I have been experiencing daily discomfort with my fibroids which is combined with heavy bleeding and clotting that last for more than 45 days without a day of relief. My doctor is monitoring my health progress and has tried several different medications. As soon as we believe we’ve found the right one, it seems like my body becomes immune to the medication and I’m back at the beginning with the same heavy bleeding and discomfort. I have several large fibroids in the inner lining of my uterus and one specifically the size of a grape fruite. Therefore we have concluded that surgery may be our last attempt to cure my condition.

I am only 30 years old, therefore waiting for menopause is not an option because it seems like an eternity. Therefore I am prepared to either have surgery to remove, freeze, electro schock the fibroids or just have a complete hysterectomy.

The only complication is I do not have insurance. I am currently with the Woman’s Health Insurance Program with the medicaid program, but it only covers contraceptive pills.

Therefore my questions is: does anyone know of any programs that will assist in financial assistance for this procedure. I am desperate and need help for my health condition. Any information would help greatly.

Thank you for your kind answers.

I want to sincerely avoid surgery ..I am 36 years old…

Hysterectomy is still considered a big surgery and many painful days of recovery, the fibroid I have sits on my bladder that is making me very uncomfortable. My question is should I get it all taken out now?

I have a 7 cm fibroid and 3 cm fibroids. I don’t have heavy bleeding but occasional discomfort. I don’t want to get pregnant but I don’t want to remove my uterus.

I don’t want to take hormone medicines or shots but I want to remove ONLY MY FIBROIDS, not my uterus. My uterus is perfectly healthy so why remove it? However, I’ve seen 3 doctors and they all say they don’t have confidence in doing that due to complications. They want to make it simple and remove the uterus too.

I have a friend who got her uterus removed along with her fibroids and now she feels fatigued and not sexually excited as before.

Anyone here surgically removed your fibroid with or without getting your uterus removed? Please tell me your experience and after-effects…

Also, any treatment for fibroid besides surgical removal that does NOT trigger menopause or affect your hormones??? I don’t want my hormones affected..

I have a fibroid tumor inside my uterus and I want to have surgery to remove the TUMOR. I want it to be as invasive as possible since I am 24 and I plan to have kids. I need it removed because it is rather large and EXTREMELY painful.

Who do I contact? How do I find out about cost? WHat should I think about? Etc?
oh btw, i do have insurance. Do i need to contact them and ask them anything?
