TVH or TAH???
I have posted before on other boards. But now it looks like I may not be able to avoid a hyst.....on the good side, the fibroid has grown very little since it was discovered. ( I went for a 2nd opinion to a Gyn/Onc since my mother died of cancer that went wild after her hysterectomy.) The Onc. sent me for a us, then did an endrometrial biopsy because lining was thicker than normal. (reason for horribly heavy 2 days each month???--bathroom visit every hour--using supers) Anyway, biopsy came back OK--but have several questions I hope someone can give opinions or their experiences with: 1. Could this be causing bloating? and/or weight gain? 2. Since I had 2 c-sections (one scar is vertical the other horizontal) and I had the left ovary and tube removed--would a TVH be an option--I guess I'm wondering about adhesions, etc. 3. Would TVH even be an option since uterus is "12 week size"? 4. I'm 47--should I keep ovary? (I'd like to avoid HRT if possible) 5. This is gross--but I'm also having increased discharge about mid-cycle that feels almost like a urine leak--is this a symptom of fibroids? 6. Last, could the thicker lining be causing the excessive bleeding?
Sorry this is so long!!! I'm sure I will have a million other ?'s before this is all resolved. Thank you all for this site and the support--
