Perhaps you have not seen the medical report on your mothers fibroid issue. If you have you would see that she either has Submucosal fibroids or Intramural fibroids which impinge or grow on the uterine cavity / wall, they more often than not cause heavy periods and also cause bleeding

Adalassy:


Fibroids are mostly Tumors and have nothing cancerous associated with them

more like 1 out of 1000

Ok. So what can be done to stop tge bleeding before the surgery?

Pierced:
Hello everyone. Forgive me for this long post.

My mom has been bleeding as a result of fibroid for 2 and half months now. She is suppose to have a sugery and remove the fibroid but the doctors are saying they can't do any sugery until the bleeding stop as it is too risky to perform a surgery on her if she's still bleeding.

4 pints of blood was injected in her as she has lost so much blood, and was getting weaker by the day.

I am scared that the four pints of blood will be wasted again as she's still bleeding heavily.

I need solutions in stoping the bleeding, so the surgery will be done and the bleeding will be stopped. Pls if know anything that can be done so the bleeding can stop, it will be appreciated.

Pls, gynecologist in the house, I urgently need help.

dochenaj:

I strongly doubt the issue might be just fibroid.
She better consult a consultant gynecologist, I don't know who is seeing her presently. Because cancer is a much more likely possibility for her case and age. But I hope I'm wrong.

dochenaj:

Nobody doctor will give you medical treatment options without seeing your mother and asking basic questions and doing the necessary examinations.
The doctors she is seeing, are they not gynecologist? If they are certain that it is fibroid that is causing the bleeding, there are recommendations they could give. Considering that she is beyond 50 and has no child bearing years ahead of her, they should likely suggest she undergo a hysterectomy (remove the uterus entirely). I don't know any sensible doctor who will keep on transfusing a patient with such amount of bleeding, when the solution is so simple as removing the uterus entirely instead of removing the fibroids alone.
And removing the uterus ensures that there is no more threat to any cancer involving the uterus again.

This actually happened to a friend two weeks ago.exactly this case.she had to take the fibroid out immediately.one can bleed to death!shes recovering fine now.is your mum in Lagos?

Fibroid is common to women above age 30 in the African race, it grows over time like a tumour in a woman's uterus . Not sure if it's hereditary . My mom had the surgery 1998 after series of heavy flow period , not sure she had heavy flow when she left home for the operation that fateful evening but it was a successful one and she's still very alive .

Proper investigation needs to be done to conclude on your mon's case having read she attained her menopause 6 years ago (she's 53 now ) . This kind of bleeding happened to my grandma in her 80s before she died 2 years ago .

Whatever the case maybe , be strong and have faith she'll be fine . Wishing her speedy recovery .
