I'm going to the doctor on the 22nd of this month for an ultra sound for my fibroids. I was just curious about any women who had experienced having their fibroids removed.

After about 10 years of eating ice due to anemia and having no energy and periods that warrented 2 boxes of super plus tampons a week with periods lasting for at least 2 weeks and finally having a uterus the size of a cantalope, I knew I had to have something done.

My sister with a problem similar to mine had a proceedure done called imbulization. Went in in the morning, was awake during the proceedure and stayed over night. It took about 6 months but my periods were reduced drastically to where I only used a few tampons a day and no back up or anything. I don't know how old you are but I know I was about 38 when they tried taking out my uterus. Don't let them do that.
