Went through this 20 years ago, finally had my uterus removed. I was so anemic that my GP wanted to admit me to hospital minute my blood results came back from the lab. Needed transfusions during surgery. I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never have children. I'm glad there are new alternatives out there now, however I feel compelled to say that being so obsessed with having children is not healthy. This woman could adopt children and return to health easily with surgery
In 1966 my family doctor said I had fibroids and would need a Hysterectomy. Thank God I had a play mother took me to another doctor Who remove the tumors he could see on top of uterus. Two years later I gave birth to my daughter. But the tumors came back. The bleeding and the pain was enough for me to have the hysterectomy. But I am thankful for my daughter. Fibrous tumors are no joke. God bless.
In 1999, I had a massive fast growing fibroid tumor that filled with blood. I had very heavy bleeding 3-4 months prior to seeing a physician. I put off the surgery x 2 weeks after he said he needed to do a hysterectomy. Noting I was full of bruises the week of surgery I requested lab work for clotting times. I was in DIC ( basically lost my ability to clot). I had emergency surgery that day. Received 14 units of blood over the next week. Fortunately lived to tell the tale. Don’t ignore!!
I had my fibroids embolized in 2004. It was minimally invasive and extremely successful. Later that year, I think that Condoleezza Rice also had the same procedure done and was trying to promote as a better alternative, but a lot more education needs to be done about this as an option. I am so sorry to hear what an ordeal you went through.
