Hello. I am 52 years old. In February this year. I found out that I had a myoma on the uterine body, 4-5 cm in size. Due to my age (pre-menopausal period), the doctor advised me to wait six months. After this period, I applied for the examination and it turned out that now I have 2 fibroids on the shaft, each of about 3.5 cm. My doctor offered to remove them together with the body and possibly also the uterus. What to do? Maybe wait a little longer? I had my last period on July 10th. Today, i.e. on August 29, I stained a little. This has not happened to me before. I am protected against pregnancy, I even took a test (negative result). Maybe I have just started the menopause and the procedure is unnecessary? I'm a little scared. Thank you for the advice and best regards.
Since myomas do not enlarge and do not show any disease symptoms, you do not need to rush the operation.
