Bleeding: It depends on how he prescribed it to you.  Since I don't know the answer to that the best thing to do is to continue the medicine as he gave it to you and call him when he is back in the office and ask him specifically when and what to do if it doesn't work when he says.

d&c for prolonged menses. doc said he scraped some muscle so he could get fibroid in u wall to scar. 5 weeks still bleeding and one day big clot! options are lupron, mirena, (levonorgestrel) depo-provera hysterectomy? depressed

Accepted Answer

2nd opinion?: That explanation is a little confusing; you can't predictably cause scarring by doing a d&c, & that wouldn't help treat a fibroid in the wall. Did you have an ablation? Dep.On size of the fibroid that is an option as well; Lupron (leuprolide) is typically only indicated for postmenopausal pt's (b/c it causes temp. Menopause, so if you have gone through menopause already, Lupron (leuprolide) not useful.Always fine 2get2nd op.
