Uterine Fibroids: To Remove or Not to Remove?

[Mel5497]

Use of charm holdersDo any of you use the charm holders from Glitz or SWJ? I'm thinking of offering a $1000 charm holder and then giving $ charms for each $1000 show a team member has. I'm curious as to the quality of the holders. Any feedback? Does anyone use any other 'apron bling'? Thanks!

I have used charm holders from SWJ as incentives and they have been happy with them. I think their quality is fine for what they are and the price is good.

They have lots of charms, charm holders and other recognition items. They are located in the Houston area. I have gotten a lot of things through them and have been happy with what I got and the cost.

thanks beth, I was just asking where to get those!!

What I do is give the charm holder for the first $1K show, and then a $ charm for each one after.

Hello everyone!

I saw a new gynecologist yesterday for a series of things that I have been experiencing. She ordered a transvaginal ultrasound to rule out an ovarian cyst, but instead she discovered a fibroid located at the top of my uterus. Even though these type of fibroids are benign, I'm still concerned. Have any of you gone through this?

I have 2 fibroids that were discovered during my pregnancy. I am going to see the doctor for a surgical consult next Thursday for an endometrial ablation that is supposed to dislodge them. I have 3 sons and no wish for more kids, so I don't see any need to continue having super heavy periods 3 weeks out of 4. I am hoping to have the procedure done in January.

Well, I'm 37 and I also have three kids. My Dr. said that since I don't have heavy periods (yet) and I didn't know that the fibroid was there until the ultrasound, I'll have ultrasounds every 6 months. Otherwise, they'll shrink when I go through meno.

Rosa - I've had a fibroid since I had kids. Mine they just check annually to see if it has grown - if not, nothing to worry about. They can grow with stress.Be sure to drinks lots of water around that time of month, that will help (I'm so bad at that.)Otherwise, unless they grow, absolutely nothing to worry about.

 

[micocina]

Thanks for the reassuring words! I've been really worried ever since I was diagnosed with it. And even though everything I read seems to say they are benign and not to worry about it, I just can't seem to help it. Did you have to have a biopsy to confirm that the fibroid was indeed benign?

Doing the bump.

Hi - I'm new to this forum so I just found this post.

I had fibroids for the past two years. Fibroids are always benign, and never become cancerous.

As long as they're not causing you any pain, it's fine to leave them where they are. Mine were causing extreme pain, so I had them removed. It was a really easy surgery, and recovery was just like it would be if you had a C-section.

Fibroids feed off of estrogen, so if you're on the pill, you may want to have another ultrasound in another year or so to make sure they didn't get bigger.

Good luck!
