Severe Pain In Back And Lower Abdomen During Periods. In Need Of Hysterectomy For Fibroids. Help

Hi. I am searching for help for my sister. She is in desperate need of a hysterectomy due to fibroids and she is now having difficulty functioning when on her monthly cycle..even difficult to walk and severe pain in back and lower abdomen. She has no insurance and local hospital has said they will not charge but unfortunately she can not find a surgeon willing to do the procedure unless definitely cancerous or emergency admittance without payment first... Any suggestions?

Hello
thanks for your query.
You have not mentioned the details of the fibroids.
Not all fibroids mandate removal surgery.
Some fibroids which cause abnormally heavy bleeding, or are too big, need removal.
That too, if medical management fails first.
If she has been asked to get a hysterectomy, she should get one.
It would be the least expensive, as compared to other non surgical methods such as HIFU .
Take care.
