I have been going to Kumar Kunde , has anyone had similar experience i would be grateful if you can share your experience or advise i am really stressed out.

    Hi Sarah,

    To me it has helped me, to read different websites, I have been reading the website of the british fibroid trust ,as well as doing further reading on different websites on options for management of fibroids to have a wider picture on what is available for the management of fibroids.

    Hope my opinion helps a little bit,

    hi, have any of the doc's said if the location of the fibroids will effect your chances of conceiving. if not and if you have no bad symtoms, not sure they should be removed.

    Hi Sarah, I can imagine girls think it is wierd having a guy who is not a doctor reply on this topic. Regardless, go look into UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization). Please realize most Oby Gynes will not discuss or recommend this approach because they do not perform it and hence make no money off of it. Simply google "city name UFE" and you will find multiple doctors who perform UFE. These doctors are "IR's", Interventional Radiologists. They are pros at going through veins non-invasively to treat fibroids and many other ailments. If IR is right for your condition it hsould be an outpatient same day non-invasive procedure. But get the facts online and from any IR who has done lots of UFE procedures. Most major hospitals have IR's. I can recommend good ones in Chicago if you are close ti it. Good luck, Bill

    I was diagnosed with a 12x9cm fibroid (sub-serosal) on top of my uterus. I had been trying to conceive for over 3years at that point. I consulted to have a myomectomy to increase my chances (docs had mixed opinion about the impact of the fibroid on pregnancy). However, I got pregnant 2 weeks before surgery.

    I had a normal pregnancy, baby was full-term but I needed a c-section as she was breech.
