[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely try the pills and/or Mirena before surgical options. BC worked for me for about 5 years then it stopped working and I had a hysterectomy at 50. [/quote]

Op is 53 so she doesn't need much more time.[/quote]
Fibroids don't always stop growing after menopause. Removing them surgically is the only way to get rid of them. Everything else is a stop gap which will ultimately lead to hysterectomy.[/quote]

Well that's total bs. lol.

You're an idiot.[/quote]

DP. Fibroids usually stop growing and may shrink a bit after menopause. But sometimes they are large or excessive enough to still cause issues in menopause, and may even grow in menopause (often due to HRT usage).

If the fibroids are causing problems, surgical removal may be the most optimal choice, long-term, depending on age and health concerns/symptoms.

All anyone can do is research as much as possible, obtain professional recommendations, and ultimately make the health decisions that are right for them at the time.[/quote]
