I had a pelvic scan performed today which revealed an enlarged anteverted non-gravid uterus with at least two large heterogeneous solid mass modules (sized 6.23cm and 5.41cm) intramurally located at the anterior and posterior myometrium, respectively. The endometrium is said to be thin but appears to be sandwiched by the uterine masses and both adnexae appear free. This is the result of the scan as stated in the official report and the radiologist recommended India for best medicare. I'm very concerned and worried as I'm desirous of having kids now. Please what best medical procedure will I get from the WLH? Anxiously waiting to hear from you. |

Dear Christie Etukudor You did not tell about your age and your family is complete or not. Treatment of fibroid depends on these factors. If the woman has no symptoms and the fibroids are not affecting her day-to-day life she may receive no treatment at all. Even women who have heavy periods and whose lives are not badly affected by this symptom may also opt for no treatment if they are approaching menopause. During the menopause symptoms will usually become less apparent, or disappear altogether as the fibroids usually shrink at this stage of a woman life. Medical Treatment of Fibroid is GnRHA (gonadotropin released hormone agonist), administered by injection. GnRHAs make the woman body produce much lower quantities of estrogen, which makes the fibroids shrink. GnRHA stops the women menstrual cycle. It is important to remember that GNRHAs are not contraceptives, and they do not affect a woman fertility when she stops treatment. So please let us know the detail of your history so that we can advice you more. With regards J S Chowhan |

Thank you Dr Chowhan. I am 32yrs old and just about to start my family. O.K. If this is the case you should opt for laparoscopic myomectomy. |
