   Go to an endocrinologist and have him shrink them. Worked on my mom. The doctors told her she needed a hysterectomy… then she went to her endocrinologist (blood doctor) and he used hormones to shrink them away.

   I would call my mom and grandma and talk to them. They’ve both had fibroid tumors they would answer my questions and keep me calm.

   Then I would do whatever they and the doctors told me to.

   Every case is different. In order to make the right decision, you must consider the size and location of the fibroids, your age, if you want to have children and of course if the fibroids are causing any problems / symptoms. Most women who have fibroids never have symptoms and the fibroids are usually found by their doctor during the usual annual exam. Fibroids usually shrink after menopause so if they are not causing any problems, I would just leave them alone since they are NOT cancerous.

   I have a hx of fibroids and polyps, all of which were removed via hysteroscopy with D&C.
