FIBROIDSFrom: LYDIA (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 29 Nov 1999 06:44:35 -0600 (CST)
I am seeking advice. I am a 53 year old African American female with fibroids that were diagnozed approximately 10 years ago. At that time, the physician stated because of my age and the closeness of the onset of menopause to do nothing. Apparently the fibroids continued to grow and my menstrual became very heavy. My current Ob/Gyn says the fibroids are the size of a 4 month pregnancy. Last year my hemoglobin count was 7.8 and I had to receive a blood transfusion. My count this year was 5.8 -- again I had to be transfused. My current Ob/Gyn (I have managed care) is recommending hysterectomy. While my primary care physician is concerned about the anemia and has indicated I cannot continue to get transfusions, because of my age I am reluctant to have such an invasive surgery because my menstrual has decreased in flow of late.
