Last year, my abdomen growth, like pregnant. the heavy and painful bleeding increase. I was anemic in the las 4 years, but this years was more. Last week they gave me iron infusion. The Dr. showed me that the fibroids have 5 cm each now. So she recommended me a laparoscopy.

Hi,
As i understand you have fibroids that are more that are 5 cm and have irregular bleeding. If the bleeding persist, the best choice is to remove the fibroid by laparoscopy. You are only 45 so, normally your menstrual cycle can persist until 50 years, and the fibroids can become even more bigger. Your Dr. has give you the right decision.
