An update to another option called Radio Frequency Ablation or RFA. The last time Dr. Bruce Lee called, I was too flustered to think of all my question. I waited for his new site to open Haltfibroids.com and looked for more info. I didn't see what I wanted to know ( but it is a great site ) so I called his office. They wanted me to fax my questions. Tonight, he called and answered all.
1) My fibroids are not too large. Most are not too large.
2) Yes, he can get all fibroids at one time
3) Fibroids are dead instantly and will shrink away within 9 months.
4) There is no discharge. The fibroids shrink no matter their location and the body absorbs the tissue. There is no decay and no chance of infection from the shrinkage.
He said it is extremly effective in getting rid of the fibroids. His site tells about the cases and the outcomes. He sees the patient once before surgery for an exam and a 3-D ultrasound. He monitors results at 1,3,6,and 9 months.
He is so calm and so pleasant. He was not afraid of my blood clotting factor...said this is the least invasive trouble free method to eliminate fiborids.
I saw my gyn for my annual today. She did an endo biopsy (my 3rd) and this one left me shaking with pain. She did not care for the way the cervix looked. She had no answers for why it feels like I'm sitting on something. She did not know why I have burning nerve pain. She saw no prolapse and did not do a standup exam. Uterus is now at 14 weeks (grapefruit size). I'm 53 plus and regular as clock work. I have an appointment Oct 2 for a 2nd opinion.
For anyone in California, I suggest that this might be an option for you, but he takes patients from all over the US. This is an out patient surgery, with little down time. Check out his site.
Hope everyone is doing OK.
