What exactly is Fibroid? Can it be removed by suggery and what are the implications when it keeps growing?

I had the surgery 6 years ago.  I chose the myomectomy since I was 34 and had not had a child.  The incision is basically the same as a c-section.  With a 6-8 week recovery.  \n\n5 years later more grew and I opted for a total hysterectomy {I also had other medical reasons to remove the ovaries as well}.  There is no one answer that is best.\n\nBut you should know that removing the fibroids this time, it does not mean you will not have to face another operation later. \n\nif you are close to menopause you could wait it out as that tends to make them shrink but nothing short of surgery will get rid of them.

Depends on you.  If there is no pain or symptomatic issue, and s/he doesn't suspect any malignancy, then likely nothing further will be done.  If you are in pain and/or suffering from other symptoms, i.e., heavy or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, you have a right to demand a diagnosis and subsequent treatment.  Adenomyosis is another major cause of an enlarged uterus next to fibroids, so that's something to consider looking into.  It's up to you and your doc what the next diagnostic step - and any treatment - will be.  Good luck.

There are so many different things that could be causing abnormal bleeding. You should see yur gynecologist ASAP. I'm 42 and was having the same problem My gynecologist found fibroid tumors. Had a hysterectomy which removed the tumors(which were benign as in most cases).\nBut could be anything as simple as dieting, stress, etc.\nTrust yur gyn and go see him/her

A dermoid cyst is a saclike growth that is present at birth. It contains structures such as hair, fluid, teeth, or skin glands that can be found on or in the skin. Dermoid cysts grow slowly and are not tender unless ruptured. They usually occur on the face, inside the skull, on the lower back, and in the ovaries. These growths can develop in a woman during her reproductive years. They can cause torsion, infection, rupture, and cancer. These dermoid cysts can be removed with either conventional surgery or laparoscopy (surgery that uses small incisions and specially designed instruments to enter the abdomen or pelvis).

If you're in pain, and there's a cure, why wouldn't you have surgery and get it over with. Fibroid tumors are not a big thing, but can (rare but possible) develop into a bigger problem, which I'm sure your doctor told you. If you trust your doctor, go with their recommendation. If you're unsure, get a second opinion.

Yes, there is. It's called Uterine Fibroid Embolization.

Most conditions which cause an enlarged uterus are fibroids.  These are not malignant over growth of uterine tissue.  There are other conditions, but they do not occur as often.

An enlarged uterus could be caused by several things; one of them being fibroids. Fibroids can grow to an enormous size, and can cause very heavy painful periods.\nHow do you know your uterus is enlarged? If your Gynecologist has told you this, then perhaps you need an explanation to erase any confusion.

Are you referring to fibroids?  The most important question to ask is do the fibroids need to be treated at all.   The vast majority of fibroids grow as a woman gets older, and tend to shrink after menopause.  Obviously fibroids that are causing significant symptoms need treatment.   While it is often easier to treat smaller fibroids than larger ones, most of the small ones never will need to be treated.  So just because we can treat fibroids while they are small, it doesn't follow that we should treat them.  The location of the fibroids plays a strong influence on how to approach them.

fibroid tumors are non cancerous, and usually don,t cause much problem,however if they do the doctor can remove them.A lot of times they are located in the female orgins.

Many things, but most likely fibroids. Fibroids are benign tumors that grow in the uterus. Many women have them, and most don't even know they do.

A fibroid is an overgrowth of smooth muscle cells in your uterus.  They can be anywhere in the cervix, the endometrium, or in the body of the uterus itself.  These usually are benign and the only problems they can cause is excessive bleeding and pain.  Just keep an eye on it and your periods to make sure there aren't any changes and follow up with your doctor regularly.

You need to go see your gynecologist, because there  could be some  \nfibroid tumors, endometriosis, ovarian cancer and even uterus cancer.  That happen to me almost 4 years ago come January.  The first one was about 1/10 and the second one was about 1/21.  I went to my gynecologist and that June I had a hysterectomy, of course I had fibroid tumors.   Get checked out.  And to ease your mind a little a lot of females go through that change when your period is just changing cycles.

many things can show up on an MRI...tumor is definately one of them, another is swelling (which can be caused by many things), bleeding is another, but that is unlikely at this point. Most likely it is a tumor. rapid growth does not necesarily mean that it is malignant (cancerous), benign (non-cancerous) tumors can grow as well. That is what a biopsy will tell the docs, and from there they will look at how possible a surgery is to remove it. First they may have to do radiation to shrink a tumor. but they will fill you in on that when they find out results. To make things easier to understnad when you get results of a biopsy ask if a nurse can be in the room, nurses usually can answer questions in people terms instead of doctor terms like docs do.

No.\n\nFibroids grow from the myometrium of the uterus. Therefore, no uterus = no myometrium = no fibroids.\n\nThe period like symptoms could be due to endometriosis. It is possible that even though you've had a hysterectomy, that if you suffered with endometriosis prior to it, you could still suffer from it now.\n\nSee your doctor, or seek a referal to a gynaecologist, who should be able to help you.

A myomectomy is the surgery recommended for women who wish to become pregnant after fibroid surgery (as compared to a hysterectomy, for example).  \nPost-myomectomy chances of becoming pregnant are encouraging: 55 percent of women who have myomectomies due to fibroid-related infertility can get pregnant after the operation.
