Have you experienced fibroids or needed a hysterectomy while managing PBC at age 60?

The search results don't include specific experiences from myPBCteam members about having fibroids removed or undergoing hysterectomy while living with PBC. However, this is an important question to discuss with your healthcare team, especially after your recent ER visit with severe stomach pain.

When you have PBC, any surgical procedure requires careful coordination between your doctors. Your gastroenterologist or hepatologist should be involved in planning any surgery to ensure your liver function is stable enough for the procedure and anesthesia.

It's worth noting that stomach pain in PBC can have various causes, including:
- Advanced PBC affecting fat absorption
- Other digestive issues
- Complications from fibroids or other gynecological conditions

Since you recently went to the ER, make sure to follow up with both your PBC specialist and gynecologist. They can work together to determine the best approach for managing both conditions safely.
