Trying To Conceive, Have Intramural Fibroid And Tubes Blocked, Approaching Menopause. Suggested Embolization And Abdominal Myomectomy
I have a intramural fibroid that's about 3.5 cm according to my last ultrasound. I desire to get pregnant and have children. Also it is distorting my uterus. Both my tubes are blocked and I'm quickly approaching menopause (FSH level 10 months ago was 72....chinese herbs have brought it down to 12.5). One dr has recommended the embolization method in addition to a hysteroscopy. My regular dr who is also an infertility specialist recommends an abdominal myomectomy. The fibroid sits on the upper left side of my uterus. I am leaning towards the abdominal myomectomy. I did not like the idea that the embolization treatment can push me into menopause. What determines which type of myomectomy is best???

Trying To Conceive, Have Intramural Fibroid And Tubes Blocked, Approaching Menopause. Suggested Embolization And Abdominal Myomectomy
Hi, Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns. Following is my reply: 1) Since you dont have much time, I suggest you go ahead with abdominal myomectomy ( preferably Laparoscopic). 2) It is better to go for IVF after myomectomy to maximize chances of pregnancy. Let me know if you have anymore doubts. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol IVF & Infertility specialist
