Had tvt and prolapse repair after 2nd round of esyme, fibroids have shrunk to nothing but I'm scared they will come back and undo my surgery. My consultant said to leave fibroids and just deal with the prolapse and bladder as Esyme has worked but I'm just worried they will grow back. They are the cause of my problems in the first place, as well as a difficult delivery of my only child

    Kelly Dont worry keep regular checks on them, you can have up to 12 months of Esmya, also other different drugs like Zoladex to shrink alternatively UFE

    Hi. Research foods to avoid that feed fibroids. Like soya products and phyto oestrogen's. I believe from reading comments on here that it is best to avoid them. I was taking then to combat menopause symptoms not realising I was feeding my fibroids! 

    I stopped using them a few months ago and hoping results of my recent scan (10 days ago) will show they have stopped growing. 

    Hope you are recovering well.

      Hi thank you for your commment, I do avoid soya and will look at other things also. They have shrunk to pretty much zero from the bigger being 13cm so I need to keep them way to void undoing my prolapse and bladder repair surgery. Thank you

    Your age is a major factor.  Fibroids will usually come back in younger women but are less likely in older perimenopausal women.  The placement of fibroids is also a factor in whether or not they can be removed.  Not all fibroids can be removed.  I have 2 out of 3 that can't be removed because they are inside the walls of my uterus.

      Yes mine are also in the lining of the back of my womb, my consultant says to leave them and therefore I've had the prolapse repair and tvt so don't want them coming back
