A member asked:
I know i have a large fibroid, & i really need to find a good doc who is familiar & offers more than just a total hysterectomy option. how?

Ask about myomectomy: You need to ask a potential GYN MD whether or not they offer myomectomy which is removal of the fibroid only. Other options include uterine artery ablation which may or may not work with very large fibroids.
