Problem: Article: A myomectomy removes fibroids using laparoscopic surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon removes fibroids from the uterus through the navel or through the vagina and cervix. Both approaches are less invasive and less expensive than a hysterectomy. Hormone therapy may be a short-term option for treating uterine fibroids, but surgery is still required. Your doctor may recommend medications to shrink the size of uterine fibroids in preparation for surgery. The fibroids will grow back if they are not removed. Some hormone medications block the production of estrogen, which can reduce symptoms. Other medications can be included to control pain and other symptoms. Endometrial ablation is a technique that removes the lining of the uterus, but also causes infertility. There are some variations on this method as well, including thermal balloon ablation, cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation. All forms of ablation cause infertility but are much less invasive and have faster recovery time than a hysterectomy. They each have success rates between 80 and 90 percent. Be aware that this procedure is not a substitution for sterilization or contraception. Pregnancies absolutely occur after ablation, but they cannot be carried for long. Uterine prolapse may respond to Kegel exercises because they help to strengthen the pelvic floor if they are not severe. All women should start doing Kegel exercises when they reach their 40's or after having their first child. Kegel exercises improve the strength of the pelvic floor, reduce the possibility of leaking urine while laughing or sneezing, and increase the strength of orgasm contractions. A pessary device may also be useful for a uterine prolapse. A pessary device is a plastic device that is placed in the vagina to help support the uterus and bladder without undergoing any surgery. Your physician may also recommend a pessary device if you have urinary incontinence from bladder weakness. You can remove and clean a pessary device. A pessary device may cause you to produce more vaginal secretions. Some pessary devices can be left in place during intercourse, but most cannot. Ask your physician about your options. Ask your doctor if birth control pills might improve your condition. Birth control pills can be used to help reduce large amounts of blood loss during your menstrual period. They may be used to treat endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain as well. If a hysterectomy has been suggested to treat abnormal bleeding, ask your doctor about other treatments that might solve the problem. Other treatments that may be used to treat abnormal bleeding can include a dilation and curettage (D&C), hormonal medications such as progestins and oral contraception, or placement of a progesterone intrauterine device (IUD) to decrease the rate of bleeding and reduce pain. A progesterone IUD can prevent hysterectomies in many patients. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) reduces the size and blood supply to fibroid tissues growing in the uterus. Once the blood supply is blocked, the fibroids will shrink and die. Although this procedure is less invasive and has a quicker recovery time than a hysterectomy, it also causes infertility. There is also a chance that it will trigger premature menopause, and it can be very painful for a day or two following the procedure.
Summary: Find out if you are a candidate for a myomectomy. Discuss the possibility of hormone therapy for your condition. Explore endometrial ablation as an option. Consider Kegel exercises for uterine prolapse. Ask about a pessary device. Discuss birth control with your doctor. Explore other treatments for abnormal bleeding. See if uterine artery embolization would help.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a ruler or a tape measure, find the width of the gap so you can choose the right size tubing. Be sure to measure the gap on each side of the stove, as one side may have more space than the other! Using clear tube will make it close to invisible between your counter and stove. Using a slightly thicker tube will create a firm fit without it falling to the floor. Plastic tubing can be purchased at your local hardware store and is typically sold by the foot. While clear tubing is discreet, you can purchase other colors if it better fits the look and style of your kitchen. Make sure the end of the tube is butting the wall before securing it. Using your fingers, push the tube into the space between your counter and stove. Keep it flush with tops of the counter. If you go too far down, crumbs will still fall onto the tubing and be trapped. Match the length of the tube to the depth of your counter and use shears or scissors to make the cut. After making the cut, use your finger to push any excess tube into the gap until it is level with the countertop. The tubing can be removed and cleaned in a sink of soapy water. Let the tube air dry before putting back. If it gets dirty or stained, you can replace the tubing entirely.

SUMMARY: Measure the size of the gap between your stove and counter. Purchase clear PVC tubing 14 inch (0.64cm) thicker than the gap. Push the tubing into the gap until it is level. Cut off excess tubing with a pair of shears.
