Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Oh my goodness, do not let them remove your friend's uterus. A few years ago the doctor tried to do that to me. I had fibroids diagnosed the week before xmas and i was told I needed to get them out immediately because I probably had cancer and should not take any chances. As the doc was telling me this, she told her nurse to schedule surgery. I went home so angry at her heavy handed unsympathetic approach, did my research, and found the most amazing doctor in the world in Atlanta. I live in NC but drove down the week after xmas, he checked me out with the ultra sound in his office, told me he could take the fibroids out ....and he did. The procedure is called a laproscopic myomectomy....it is commonly done now but I wouldn't let just anyone do it cause there are doctors and then there are doctors and I dont normally do anything an allopathic doctor tells me but in this case I had to do something because the pain was so bad....3 fibroids pushing on my back. Four hr surgery, and it was all taken out, and he pronounced me as good as a 16 year old! He did not take out anything but the fibroids and said he never would unless it was totally necessary because that ruins the rest of your life sexually. That was ten years ago, and I go see him every year for my female checkup just because he is the best doctor I have ever been to. I drive 7 hrs down and 7 hrs back home and its the best thing I ever do. Women fly in from all over the world to see him.  If you would like to know who about him, email me offline, cause I know you aren't supposed to do any " commercials " on this or any other site. I don't post very often but I have learned so much from just reading.
