Suggest Treatment Options For Fibroids In The Uterus In Women With Osteoarthritis

I have very swollen. Feet legs arms fingers and they are very very cold. I also have fibromyalgia,Osteoarthritis, degenerating discs of the s1 and the L4 or 5. I just tore both my shoulders and have fluid in them as well. I also have fibroids in the uterus and a very large stomach. Over the last 10 months I have gained 55 pounds. My stomach is very uncomfortable from stretching so much. What do you recommend for me?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
I am sorry for you sufferings for multiple problems at a time.
Fibroid uterus -small fibroids which are not causing any symptoms , the policy of treatment is to wait & watch. many a times they resolve on their own/ remain asymptomatic.
The fibroids which are creating symptoms/ causing sterility- can be removed by by blocking it's blood supply by intervention radiology under USG view.
* Very big fibroid which is causing extream trouble need to be removed surgically. Can be accompanied by removal of uterus if patient has finished with child bearing.
- You should go for USG/ CTscan to decide size of the fibroid, & decide of oi's removal with an expert gynecologist's advise.
- Best anesthesia used to be selected by anesthetist. In your case they may prefer general anesthesia.
Thanks.
