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

View allI was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and have cysts in both ovaries two on the left (2cm and 3cm) and one on the right (2cm). My gynecologist is recommending laparoscopy, but I'm wondering if there are any medications or injections that could treat the endometriosis and help me conceive instead of surgery
While medications and injections can help manage endometriosis and its symptoms, they often don't resolve the underlying condition. Laparoscopy may be recommended for endometriomas (cysts) that are painful, growing, or larger than 4cm, or when fertility is a goal. Medications like birth control pills, progestins, and GnRH agonists can help suppress the growth of endometriosis tissue and relieve pain, but they don't eliminate the cyst
