Question 1

1 hour after breakfast i get diarrhoea & dull tummy ache + fatigue. ive seen a dr & had stool + fit tests which were fine. i had open myomectomy in may im not sure if its related. is there anything else i can ask to be checked for?

Accepted Answer

: It may be important to check and see what at breakfast you are eating to cause the symptoms. A lot of people have guts that do not tolerate dairy. You are eating something that is not been processed by your gut and it is causing inflammation in your gut is why you have the symptoms. It is also possible that you have Irritable bowel Syndrome with diarrhea and there is medication if you see a doctor

Question 2

had open myomectomy last may. had loose/mushy stools since. ive got a colonoscopy in 3 weeks time. fit test is negative. what is a colonoscopy likely to find in symptoms like mine?

Accepted Answer

: With a negative FIT test, which can be a false negative, at age 32, with loose stools over a prolonged interval, the colonoscopy may determine whether an inflammatory condition is present, and confirm the negative FIT test.

Question 3

took the morning after pill on october recently took a pregnancy test, came out positive. can i get an abortion pill, i had a myomectomy 4 month ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you do not want to pursue this pregnancy further. You can seek assistance with a gyn physician or reproductive health clinic that can help you through the process.

Question 4

had an open myomectomy in may. have had loose stools/ diarrhoea ever since. ive had ibs and fit tests which were fine, but when i go i feel exhausted after. should i be concerned? is there anything else i should get checked for?

Accepted Answer

: The two issues may be coincidental. Try taking an Imodium a day for 3-4 days. If that does not resolve the issue, it would be prudent to see a doctor.
Drink enough water to stay hydrated, enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Wish you good health!

Question 5

no period 3 months after myomectomy surgery for fibroid, cysts. not pregnant negative pregnancy tests ?

Accepted Answer

Give it more time: The uterine and ovarian surgery could have easily disrupted your cycles for a while.  While normally some evaluation is indicated after 3 months with no period, in this situation it is more reasonable to wait a couple more months.

Question 6

i have loose mushy stools, or loose unformed stools. fit test was clear. negative for ibd. colonoscopy booked dr suspects post myomectomy related ibs, or worst case scenario colitis. should i worry about bowel cancer. symptoms ongoing for 9 months?

Accepted Answer

: Those are NOT common symptoms of malignant disease of the GI tract. You should patiently wait for the colonoscopy and I hope GI doc can determine the cause of your GI symptoms but bowel cancer is very unlikely. Good luck!

Question 7

what is a myomectomy?

Accepted Answer

Fibroid removal: A myomectomy is a surgery to remove fibroids from the uterus.  It can be done vaginally, abdominally or laparoscopically depending on the location and size of the fibroids and the skills of your gynecologist.

Question 8

show me how a myomectomy is done?

Accepted Answer

Myomectomy: We open the uterus right where the fibroid is, and dissect it out of the myometrium (muscle of the uterus) then close in layers the defect.

Question 9

will insurance cover my myomectomy?

Accepted Answer

Prior authorization: A patient, who has been recommended to undergo a certain procedure may ask her doctor to obtain "prior authorization" from her insurance carrier. The doctor will need to provide a diagnosis code and a procedure code and the insurance carrier will then determine, whether the procedure is covered under your plan.

Question 10

is myomectomy a very common procedure?

Accepted Answer

YES: Myomectomy surgery involves removing the fibroid tumors from the uterus. We usually remove the fibroids instead of a hysterectomy when the woman wants fertility, the fibroids are limited in size and number, or the woman does not want hysterectomy. If the surgery is with laparoscopy, the recovery is much easier than hysterectomy or open myomectomy. Talk with your gyn about the options. Best wishes.
