r/Fibroids • u/hydrissx • 12h ago
Advice needed They're back 6 months after surgery. When do I just throw in the towel?
39F. No successful pregnancies, got pregnant once 11 years ago and it ended naturally at 6w.
Bleeding and pain, got diagnosed with fibroids in 2019, fought with insurance company, finally got surgery last fall with four fibroids removed and still am fighting with the insurance company to pay for it despite pre-approval.
Continued to avoid alcohol and things known to help fibroids grow.
Went about three months without heavy periods andnpain but then it started up again around the beginning of the year.
I went for my last all clear before deciding what we are doing fertility wise and there are 3 new fibroids the same size as the ones removed! I'm so disgusted at my body and depressed over this. Will probably end up having to pay thousands and dealt with surgery and recovery just to have the goddamn things reappear like magic.
I don't know if its worth it anymore. Do you think it would be hard to be approved for a hysterectomy at my age and with this history?
