My mom is 49 and just found out she has multiple uterine fibroids with a bulky uterus and distorted shape. What could happen if she doesn't get treatment and what are her options? Is surgery usually recommended for this and what are the risks involved?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If left untreated, multiple uterine fibroids and a bulky uterus can lead to severe pain, excessive bleeding, anemia, and potentially infertility or complications during pregnancy. Treatment options range from medication to reduce symptoms and shrink fibroids to surgical removal of fibroids or the uterus. While surgery is an option, it's not always the first choice, and other options like medication, uterine artery embolization, or focused ultrasound may be considered. The decision of whether or not to proceed with surgery, and which surgical option is best, depends on the severity of symptoms, the size and location of the fibroids, and the patient's individual circumstances

I'm a 29-year-old woman trying to conceive and I've been married for 3 years Now I have irregular periods since I first got them at 14 I've been taking different kinds of medicines before getting married to try and make them regular After marriage, I started seeing a family gynecologist and then switched to an infertility clinic Usually, I get my periods after taking Regesterone for 10 days and they come about 3 or 4 days after stopping the pills and last for 4 days of full flow This time, there was only slight bleeding for a day at the end of September after starting my period in late August, no full flow like usual recently I was prescribed a low dose of Thyronorm because of high anti-thyroid antibodies and didn't take Estrogen or Progesterone this cycle Could it be the Thyroxine affecting my period or is it because I didn't use the Progesterone pills really confused about what's going on
