Comments for Fibroid Tumor http://fibroidtumor.net All About Fibroid Tumors Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:00:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 Comment on Symptoms of Fibroid Tumors by Debbie http://fibroidtumor.net/fibroid-tumor-symptoms/symptoms-of-fibroid-tumors#comment-7 Debbie Sat, 28 Jul 2007 13:35:55 +0000 http://fibroidtumor.net/fibroid-tumor-symptoms/symptoms-of-fibroid-tumors#comment-7 Excellent article. My fibroids have made a fierce return (I had a myomectomy in 1988). I am 53, single and childless but still am not anxious to have a hysterectomy. It is my uterus and I want to hold on as long as possible. Problem is that the current fibroids are very large which has created a very pregnant looking condition and alos the feel of bladder urgency a little too frequently for me. Sex can be uncomfortable - but who is having it anyway so that is only a minor concern. Your article is very helpful because most people that I discuss this with think that I should just have surgery - hysterectomy. It is amazing how many of my friends have undergone that surgery and did not even not about the alternatives. Ok, I realize that age, size of the fibroids, and quality of lifestyle are important determinants of surgery but I still feel that any surgery decision should be made based on an "informed decision." By the way, I only eat meat products from the ocean and do not eat an inordinate amount of dairy so estrogen is not a large factor in my case. Therefore, I am sure that the increase in size over the past two years of my fibroids is largely due to a very stressful and emotional period that I hope I am at the end of. Yes, of course, one of the stressors was breaking up with a boyfriend. Excellent article. My fibroids have made a fierce return (I had a myomectomy in 1988).
