is d&c necessary to be part of hysteroscopy for removal of polyp or fibroid?

Question

How long should I wait to get pregnant after a fibroid removal done by a operative hysteroscopy?

Answer 1

Yes: Part of the procedure , also to asses status of endometrium and to rule out malignancy, .

Answer 2

Probably: The D&C adds little additional risk to the hysteroscopy and is often beneficial to check the lining of the uterus besides the polyp od fibroid.

Answer 3

Probably ok: It might take you another month to get your period. If you have not had one after one more month, i would see your doctor.

Answer 4

Yes: There are different types of myomectomies with different surgical approaches. The best treatment depends on the size and location of fibroids and your symptoms. Repeated surgeries are very common but should be carefully considered.

Answer 5

Need better option: You could repeat myomectomy but this would not be the best option. The fact that it failed so soon after the surgery suggests that there are a lot more fibroids in the uterus then could be removed. Uterine fibroid embolization (ufe) is a non-surgical procedure performed by interventional radiologists that treats all of the fibroids in the uterus (much less likey to recur than myomectomy).

Answer 6

Depends on goals: If you want to preserve ability to have children: then myomectomy or temporary control of fibroid growth with hormonal contraceptives is a possibility. If you definitely do not have plans for future childbearing, then: uterine fibroid embolization, or hysterectomy are viable treatments. Hysterectomy usually can be performed vaginally or laparoscopically.

Answer 7

NO they don't: Most people with colon polyps have no symptoms! that's why it is so important for people to get screened when appropriate. Generally when you are 50, and maybe sooner if there is a family history of colon polyps.

Answer 8

Usually not: Most polyps unless they are cancerous or partially obstructing the colon do not cause symptoms. African american patients should start screening colonoscopy at the age of 45, otherwise start at the age of 50 or younger if you have a family history of colon cancer.

Answer 9

Cancer: Cancer is now the number 1 (número uno) cause of death age 60-79 in the US, more than cardiovascular disease. Lung cancer by far the most deadly cancer (more than colon, breast, ovarian & prostate all together). Please ask for cancer screening: colonoscopy, Pap, mammogram and PSA. No excuse not to be screened specially after age 50, even younger depending on family history and type of cancer.

Answer 10

No: In general asians have a lower incidence of colon cancer and colon polyps than the average population. This is due to several factors including eating more fish and vegetables and less red meat.

Answer 11

No: These are some predisposing factors for colon poliposis which is related to colon cancer: • hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc, also known as lynch syndrome) • familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) • attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (afap) • myh associated adenomatous polyposis (map) • peutz-jeghers syndrome (pjs) • familial juvenile polyposis coli (fjp).

Answer 12

No: Though colon cancer has a genetic basis for susceptibility, lifestyle and diet have a lot to do with risk factors. Asians, in general, have a lower incidence though.

Answer 13

Doubt it: If you do not have fhx or previous polyps & have diet rich in fiber( most hindus) your risk is low. The presence of a hereditary polyposis syndrome is a strong risk factor for developing colorectal polyps. These may include peutz-jeghers syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis and gardner syndrome.

Answer 14

No: Not unless you have a family history.
