Fibroids and quality of life
I am a 44 yr old single mom. Diagnosed with Fibroids over two years ago, as well as an ovarian cyst. Gotta love medical system, my primary physician does not take my health and my strong family history serious enough. Said a lot of woman live with them with no problem...yeah right. I am moving onto another primary. I had a D&C last tuesday October 4th (2nd one if five years), and I am still bleeding...is this normal? I had my beloved period two weeks ago and the D&C was at day 14 of my cycle. I am tired and worn down. I swear the gyno I have is from the 'save the uterus foundation'. LOL. I have dealt with this enough. I am the only female left in my family to still have her fibroid filled utuerus, every one of my four sisters had a complete hysterectomy before they were 37. This is rediculous that I have to suffer with all the fun symptoms... the heavy periods, the constant pain (worse at ovulation and beyond), the bleeding through, the lack of energy, and oh yes, the constant need to urinate made worse depending on my time of the cycle. Mood swings are a joy too. Last night was up every two darn hours peeing. Geez! Enough is enough...I want a damn solution and I am tired of getting the silent treatment and not being given better info by my docs. I am moving on! So, is it really worth getting a hysterectomy(I have one ovary left from previous surgery), and are there major complications to be concerned about after? I have read up on a lot of stuff, but would love to hear support about my choices and not excuses by my doctors. I want my life and energy back! I take OTC progesterone cream which helps,but is not the whole solution. Thanks for listenting.
