Questions to ask at second opinion appt.

Hi ladies,

I've made a second opinion appt. and I was wondering what would be some good questions for her. I have adenomyosis and endo and fibroids.

This really isn't a preop appt...I'm trying to determine if hyst. is the right decision for me.

Thanks!

Questions to ask at second opinion appt.

Hi Jahee,

I got 2 opinions myself and I am still very glad I did!!! I had my hyst with my 2nd Dr.

On the questions...I can suggest you find out what ~type~ of hyst you are a good candidate for. Here is a Hyster Sisters link that goes over the different types of surgeries and ~questions~ to ask your Dr. Just scroll down:

My 1st opinion wanted to do an abdominal hyst and my 2nd opinion suggested a less invasive hyst.

Also, you might ask what the pros and cons are of just doing ~observation~ for awhile vs. having a hyst right now. Could your fibroids continue to grow?? And what about the endo and adeno??

Also, you might ask about any ~alternative~ treatments to a hyst. Would you be a godd candidate??

Also, you might request copies of your records from your 1st Dr., if you have not already, so your 2nd Dr. has all your current information.

Best wishes,

Mary
