Hysteroscopic resection of fibroids - Anyone had this?

Hi Patricia,

Well... I'm loathe to be the first response to your thread, but I have had this procedure three times. I guess that in itself is an indication that it did not work for me. I really hope you get some more positive stories on here. Now currently taking norethisterone without a break and waiting for endometrial ablation - hysterectomy will be my very last resort.

However, just because it didn't work for me doesn't necessarily mean it won't be successful for you or others - we are all different, and I guess so much depends on the size, type, number and location of our fibroids.

Wishing you all the best in your healing journey xx

tbh my procedure to remove my fibriods (myomectomy) i had mentally decided that when my period decides to make an appearance, it will do so! The reason is that i had 25 removed, which accounted for 98% of them. i have the remaining 2% in me - it would have resulted in a full hysterectomy. which i did not consent too!

so now i am 6 months post operation and i monitor my periods, which are now every 22-28 days (varies) & last 7 days solid, with blood clots. Which is normal. i am anemic too. I wish you the very best in your journey.❤

Hello there, i had this procedure done 2 years ago and it was the best thing i did because i had heavy bleeds and was becoming anaemic. after this procedure my period became so light and the effects of the submuscosal fibroid disappeared ....well fast forward 2 years after i had other ones that were outside my uterus so i couldn't do this anymore but settled for the UFE procedure which i have done already and so far am recovering well . hope this helps . i think you will have improved symptoms as well.

Hi there... I just wanted to get in touch with my story. I had a 12cm submucoasal fibroid which was making my life hell. I was bleeding extremely heavily daily with massive clots literally pumping out of me. The first thing I tried was norethisterone which stopped the bleeding but was obviously a short term solution. I then had injections for the temporary menopause for a period of 6 months. To begin with, it made my Fibroid larger and I had an unreal amount of pressure pain but I kept at it and eventually it shrunk my Fibroid a lot.

The next step was a hysteroscopic resection. This was performed by 'myosure' method in hospital and I was advised that most of the fibroid was removed apart from some that was embedded in the womb wall which it was not safe to try and touch. This was March 2018. My period returned to normal roughly 3 weeks later and it was a normal period with no clotting etc. I fell pregnant in April. My little girl Brodie was born in January 2019. My periods since her birth have been completely normal... I am now on the mini pill and barely bleed at all. I have no doubt that I will be plagued with more fibroids in the future. For now, I'm very lucky to have my little girl at 37 years old, especially after being told previously that I would need a hysterectomy etc. Having the resection was the best thing I could have done. My symptoms were relieved hugely pretty much overnight.

Good luck for the future. Stay positive.
