Thank you for sharing, very informative.

Excellent explanation of various treatment options and, by far, the best channel on KZbin about gynaecological issues, especially fibroids. I have a quick query, if you could please answer it. What would be the best treatment option for someone with a 9mm x 8mm intramural fibroid located in the posterior wall of the uterus? What is the likelihood of this fibroid worsening, such as increasing in size or the development of additional fibroids in the future? Secondly, I read that prolonged exposure to oestrogen, including in women who have never been pregnant, can lead to the development of fibroids and might also increase the risk of breast cancer. Could you please clarify if this is correct? I would suggest addressing this issue in your future videos. Thank you very much, and God bless!

[@newschoolobgyn]

Thank you for the kind words! Luckily this fibroid is less than 1 cm in size so a lower chance it is causing symptoms. And symptoms would be the main driver whether to treat or not. So likely in this scenario, no treatment needed! As far as the estrogen exposure (I’m assuming you mean one of the hormone medications) while fibroids like physiologic hormones, there is not great evidence to suggest taking a low dose hormonal medication will put you at risk of growing fibroids. Also taking an estrogen will not increase your risk of breast cancer… but if one were to develop and its hormone receptor positive, it could potentially stimulate it more.

[@usmanashley8473]

Thank you so much for your detailed response and expert advice! I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify my concerns about fibroids and estrogen exposure. It is reassuring to know that the size of the fibroid is less than 1 cm and unlikely to cause symptoms, meaning no immediate treatment is necessary. Your explanation about the relationship between hormonal medications, estrogen exposure, and the risk of fibroid growth has been incredibly informative. I feel more confident now in understanding how these factors interplay. Once again, I am grateful for your insights and expertise on this matter. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously on your KZbin channel.

[@DianneBaker-Pacius]

Hello-How do you remove multiple fibroids laproscopically? What if a woman has a fibroid uterus with multiple large fibroids close to her upper ribcage? Can you remove those via lap myo?

[@newschoolobgyn]

Thanks for the good question! The techniques don’t change much between removing 1 vs multiple. Depending on the size and number of fibroids, can make it more difficult. There is no established upper limit on size of fibroids/uterus that can be done laparoscopically. But it’s weighing the risks and having the discussion with patients

[@malinmaliy3698]

Please Dr, can a fibroids cause gut problems ?

[@newschoolobgyn]

There can be some dysmenorrhea from fibroids but it would likely be cyclic, meaning around certain points of the menstrual cycle. Otherwise gastrointestinal issues are also very common by themselves.

Is it healthy to use alcohol to mix herbs to shrink fibroid

[@newschoolobgyn]

I don’t think this would be a concern. The studies were with those that used alcohol recreationally 👍🏼

[@newschoolobgyn]

There are a lot of things to consider when treating endometriosis. If someone has an endometrioma/chocolate cyst, and have symptoms, we usually discuss surgery. To treat endometriosis, we usually discuss medication to suppress the Endometriosis

What if a woman has 1 large fibroid about 10cm posterior uterus wall and although she bleeds heavy..her cycle is regular? Is there a 3rd level of fibroid description?

[@newschoolobgyn]

Thanks for the questions! It depends on a few things but most importantly how troublesome is the bleeding and is it causing someone to be anemic. We describe fibroids in a couple ways: numerically or submucosal/intramural/subserosal.

[@jaylenelinoli]

@@newschoolobgyn the bleeding used to have the woman anemic. And the fibroid is a posterior subserosal fibroid..Initially fundal
