Question 2

Hematometra: Hematometra indicates that blood can not escape but accumulates in the uterine cavity. The other treatment is to establish an outlet for the blood. This is usually accomplished by identifying the canal of the cervix. Then dilate and stretch the canal to let the blood out..

Question 3

my cancer in the lungs has moved to the uterus. what are my treatment options?

Accepted Answer

Some options.: Stage IV lung cancer is often considered too widespread for surgery to work. However, if the lung disease is limited and has spread to one isolated area, such as the uterus only, then surgery could potentially be an option depending on age, lifestyle, desire for future fertility, etc. The majority of stage IV lung cancers are treated with some combination of chemotherapy and targeted therapy.

Question 4

is uterus size of 11.1 x 5.5 x 6.2 cm consider normal or enlarged with several small fibrosis? what are treatment options?

Accepted Answer

: Fibroids in the uterus are fairly common.
Your uterus size is not all that big. So you may not require any major operation right now unless you have excessive bleeding from your menses.
There are more than one ways to mange the fibroids. Seek advice/second opinion from a second gynecologist.
Besides Hysterectomy there are other alternatives to manage this problem.

Accepted Answer

: The uterus in question is a little larger than average which is approximately 9x5x4cm. The fibroids are likely making it a bit larger, though the dimensions given are not very concerning. The symptoms, however, warrant treatment. Please discuss treatment options with your gynecologist.

Question 7

what's the best treatment for uterine fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The "best" treatment depends on many things. Do they bother you? Are you done having kids? Are they growing rapidly? You definitely need to discuss options with your doc, but they include doing nothing, minimally invasive surgery removing just fibroid, minimally invasive types of hysterectomy, open hysterectomy, uterine artery embolization. Find the option that best fits your needs/desires.

Question 8

what are the  treatment methods for uterine prolapse?

Accepted Answer

Prolapse: Prolapse is generally managed surgically. This may be approached vaginally with repairs or abdominally with sacral colpopexy for apical support. In patients who are medically fragile and poor surgical candidates, can be managed with a variety of pessaries.

Question 9

just was  told i have a uterine polyp about 7.2cm. what is the treatment, is it considered small or large and should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Symptomatic?: 7.2 cm is a fairly large polyp, the non pregnant uterus is about 7.6 cm. I assume that you had symptoms that led to finding the polyp. If you can live with the symptoms then you can live with the polyp. If the symptoms are not bearable or get worse then you should have it surgically removed.

Question 10

how many cycles after d and c is it recommended to initiate a new ivf treatment? i've had uterine linning issues in the past (only reaching 7 mm)

Accepted Answer

Only 1: But the bigger issue is getting the uterine lining thicker. Pregnancy rates even with donor egg are very very low when the lining is not at least 8-9 mm. I have personally only seen 1 women in 10 years have a baby when the lining was 7 or less so that is the bigger issue.
