  5. My family member has endometriosis, a bulky uterus with fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, and anaemia. She experienced behavioural side effects from Lupride injections, so the doctor has now prescribed Fibristal tablets and also recommended a hysterectomy. Since she has already undergone four major surgeries and we are worried about the risks of another operation, should we proceed with the uterus removal, or can her condition be safely and effectively managed with Fibristal or other medications?

Given her history of four major surgeries, a fifth operation (hysterectomy) carries increased risks, particularly from pelvic adhesions. Fibristal (ulipristal acetate) can effectively control heavy bleeding and shrink fibroids, serving as an excellent temporary alternative to surgery. However, it requires close liver function monitoring and is typically not a permanent solution. Other options, like a Mirena IUD or non-hormonal medications, can also manage symptoms and anaemia. If medications successfully and safely control her symptoms, avoiding or delaying surgery is reasonable. I highly recommend consulting a gynaecologist specialising in minimally invasive or complex surgeries for a tailored risk-benefit analysis.
