Fertility and Surgery

After the blog last week, we had many emails regarding the treatments
for fibroid tumors in relation to fertility options. There is no way to
“guarantee” fertility with surgery. No doctor can do that. What your doctor
can do is safely remove your tumors. IF you have multiple or large fibroids
your chances of fertility will become less over time or impossible, if you do nothing.
Removing the fibroids may also prevent fertility just by cutting the uterus to
remove the tumors.
IF you have fibroids and are contemplating a pregnancy, check with a fertility specialist.
Sometimes the only option for treatment is a surgical removal of the tumors….but that does not always
ensure fertility after surgery.
