I'm 48yrs, have large fibroids-like i'm 5 mths pregnant. i want abdominal myomectomy(had one 11yrs ago) not hysterectomy. dr will not perform- y not?

It is not safe or: wise to perform an abdominal myomectomy when you are 5 months pregnant. It could cause serious harm to your pregnancy and result in pregnancy loss. It is better to wait -- fibroids generally dont grow faster during pregnancy. Hang in there!

My 78 year old relative had a CT of the abdomen and pelvis. A unrelated finding was a report of fibroids on her uterus. This was a suprise as she had a hysterectomy 45 years ago. Pelvic ultrasound confirmed no uterus but identified some type of mass.
