I have an 11 cm fibroid that has grown to this size from a 8 cm size just 8 months ago. I have been been scheduled for an LSH this month. Are there any other options to remove or shrink a fibroid of this size - to save my uterus?

Thank you!


Reply by Amie Napier, MD

The other options include robotic/laparoscopic myomectomy and fibroid embolization (radiologic procedure where the blood supply to the fibroid is blocked). This is usually done in women who want to preserve their fertility since there is a good chance the fibroids will return.


The responses in the "Ask a Doctor" articles are provided by M.D./Surgeons with credentials in their linked profiles. The HysterSisters.com staff thanks the doctors for their participation and reminds all readers to discuss their medical concerns with their personal physicians for specific information about their health choices, as this is in no way intended to take the place of members consulting with their own physicians.
