Hello ladies
This is my first time on this site. I am 37. Two children. I had a D&C a year ago-did not work at all. I bleed profusely about 10 days a month. They found "debris" in my uterus-what could that be? I "leak" this stuff all the time-what could that be too? My hemoglobin is 9-I am on iron pills three times a day. I go to a new doctor tomorrow. I now I need a hyster-but I am scared to death. My uterus is a size of a 12 week pregnancy doctor said. Any suggestions..please help. Thank you!!!
Karen

Hi Friend!
The best thing I can suggest is to research, research, research, find the best doctor in town, have every test and scan you can afford, and then make a decision as to your treatment.
There are a lot of people on hystersisters from Florida so maybe they can help you find a good doctor.
BEST OF LUCK!!!

Hi fellow FL sunshine sister! I always seem to have more
questions when I read posts. I have not heard of
debris in the uterus, so I would ask my doctor to clarify
exactly what this means. Could it be fibroids, a mass,
an unknown growth, a polyp, adenomyosis? I had a
very large fibroid tumor and adenomyosis. I had the
hemorrhaging during periods and knifelike cramps as well
as anemia which prompted me to first try alternatives
prior to agreeing to surgery.
Please feel free to ask many questions both here
and on the pre-op board. There are alot of us who have
already tried various alternatives and had the surgery.
Surgery is scary, but for me, it was a blessing after 10
years of flooding with the last 3 1/2 years being the
worst.
