My wife had a pap smear a few weeks ago. During the examination, an anomaly was discovered and had to have another review some time later with ultrasound, among other things. She went to an evaluation appointment a few hours ago and learned that she had a fibroid, a type of mesenchymal tumor. It basically uterine fibroids or a tumor in the uterus. br My symptoms of menopause women started later than normal and only very recently. From what I understand in my own research, fibroids are very common in women after entering menopause. If they are not too big and they do not have to be surgically removed, they tend to shrink and disappear after menopause period is over. Good doctors recommend livestock surgery unless deemed necessary. br Depending on the severity of conditions, treatments may include hysterectomy, hormone therapy, myomectomy or uterine artery embolization. According to medical sources, fibroids are more common in overweight women and women of friction Americandescent. My wife is just a little overweight and only occurred in the last year, just at the time of their menopause started. My wife has black ancestry or grandfather or greatgrandfather on his mother's side was a black man (I have not discovered how very far behind, because my mother, do not remember very good law anymore). br My wife was crying when she called from the U.S.. This is just one of their health problems (the effects of another of arthritis in the neck) but justifiably upset. Tonsillectomy had double last year (I was there for it). Being the diligent husband I am, I made a prompt and thorough investigation. The doctor asked lots of questions and she did not understand everything that was said. English is not your first language and technical terms are so far above his head. She had complained to me of excessive bleeding during her last menstrual cycle (the first time) and the doctor told him he was being caused by myoma than how early this was detected. He also told to go back for a followup and the myoma should be monitored. br It is not required surgery, however, I decided to tell my wife to try a progesterone cream that can be bought without a prescription at any pharmacy in the U.S.. If we can nip in the bud, so to speak, then won the surgery is necessary. She is not afraid of surgery, although this wouldn be like some form of simple cosmetic surgery. We both know that people whoe had either a hysterectomy or myomectomy. In my case, the wife, at 47 years old and there are no plans for more children, a hysterectomy would be the surgery easier and safer to suffer. Whether br hormone treatment works, it gained a surgery in the U.S.. His final appointment in March and Shel to return to the Philippines in April (which is what I had planned). Her older sister and one of his aunts had surgery for this in Manila, so it has won a problem in the Philippines. br br
