Ovaries / Fibroid tumors
I'm fairly new to this site. I've had 2 previous surgery's to remove fibroid tumors and here we go again. I've had an MRI,2 sonograms,2 vaginal sonograms to be advised I have ovarian cyst and 2 more fibroid tumors- one frontal approx. 5.7cm and one post approx. 3.1cm. I have a swollen left tube. I'm seking help trying to decide if I should clean out the garage and just keep the frick and frack so I don't get slapped w/menopause.I've had problems in this area for well over 17yrs. I'm tired of living in pain. Any insite?

Ovaries / Fibroid tumors
Hi Maria,
I too had fibroids in pre-op. I might suggest you research the different types of hysts before your next Dr's appointment. Possibly you are a candidate for a laparoscopic hyst, a less invasive surgery?? Two types are the LAVH and the LSH, which I had.
Your decision might come down to your present ~quality of life~. As you said, it has been 17 years. Dealing with ovarian cysts and fibroids is not fun. They can run one's life after awhile.
Here is a Hyster Sisters link that goes over the different types of hysts and questions to ask your Dr in pre-op:

Best wishes. You have found a great group of ladies to help you with your questions.
Mary
