Sometimes they just do a D&C and the problem clears up. Here's a website that's very simple and will really just give you a few other names to look up if you want, after you know what kind of fibroids you're dealing with...where they're located and all. http://www.danmartinmd.com/fibroids.htm

Both my grandmother and mother were hospitalized for fibroids. My grandma had a procedure done...and I think my mom just had a DnC, which was in and out and no big deal at all. I'll have to ask...that was fourteen years ago. She still has a lot of fibroids but since she's right on the edge of menopause, it's not such a big deal now even if she has to do something about it. She probably won't though, since it'll all be done in a few years anyway.

I also have one...um, maybe two or three aunts who've had hysterectomies. Girlie bits problems are VERY rampant in my family. Almost all of us have them, it seems.

Have fun with Wave Dragon :)
