Hello-
I am 51 and have had issues with severely heavy bleeding for the past 2 years. I have been anemic as a result (ferritin level of 4). In February I had a hysterscopic uterine ablation and a myomectomy (fibroid removal) in order to get the bleeding under control. All biopsies came back clear.
My first 4 cycles were significantly lighter which was an incredible relief. At the follow up I told my surgeon that bleeding had been reduced by 80% to which he mentioned I should probably see improvements beyond that over the next few months.
Unfortunately, my last three cycles seem to be increasing with bouts of flooding and larger clots again. Certainly not as bad as before but certainly not where I hoped to be.
I followed up with the surgeon and he will investigate but he did mention that the fibroid wasn’t entirely removed and that it could be the base of it still causing problems.
Has anyone else had a fibroid removal that required a second surgery?
I’m so fed up with this….
