3″ fibroid on top of uterus — treatment?
Question: 3″ fibroid on top of uterus — treatment?
Hello, all:
On Monday, an ultrasound revealed that I have a 3 inch wide fibroid embedded in the top of my uterus. I’ve been having heavy periods with clotting and bursts of fresh blood for the last couple of years, but no pain to speak of. Thanks to the ultrasound, I now know what was causing the menstrual irregularities.
I know that sometimes cutting off the blood supply to a fibroid is an option, but this one looks like part of it is inside the uterine wall. (The ultrasound tech let me view the images from the scan.) Does this make a hysterectomy a more likely form of treatment?
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond.
ETA: Thank you, Keltasia (((hugs back))). I’m sure it will turn out all right, but… yeah. Major surgery. Not something I’m looking forward to.

So many men think its easy to be a woman, I just wish they had our “indoor plumbing” to see how it really is.
