Abstract

Twenty-seven year-old presents with menorrhagia and is found to have a 3.5 cm intramural fibroid. She desires fertility in the future. She elects medical management with oral contraceptive pills at this time. She returns 14 months later with significant pelvic pain, deep dyspareunia, and anemia with hemoglobin of 7.2 g/dL, and ultrasound reveals the fibroid has increased in size to 9 cm.
