Laurie, Because of having 4 c-sections, my OGBYN has been trying to get my to have a total hysterectomy which is too invasive while in college. The location of my fibroids are inside the uterine lining; therefore, it is the reason to be cut open through my c-sectional scar. My dr. insisted that was my only option to rid myself from the excruciating painful heavy periods due to oversize uterus and multiple fibroids. Wow, I was never informed that post-menopausal bleeding my occur. I was told that if I chose not to have hysterectomy, that eventually the fibroids would shrink and no more problems. Hope your next check-up goes well!
