Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Just got my 6 month post UAE ultrasound and checkup. I had a 14 x 9 x 8 cm uterus with an intermural fibroid 9.3 x 9.9 x 9.5. Now my uterus is 5.5 x 5.6 x 5.0 and when I asked about the fibroid he said it was probably still in there somewhere but he couldn't really see it. I was his best result for bulk reduction. My main problem was urinary frequency and I still have some problems with that, but it must be something else besides the fibroid because he said my uterus was back to a normal size.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Yeah, the fibroid was on the front wall of my uterus, taking dead aim on my bladder. But I had a problem with wanting to pee all the time for years. It's common in CFIDS (chronic fatigue syndrome), something to do with chronic dehydration and low blood volume and not holding fluids in your body. You're thirsty, you drink, and you pee it all out shortly thereafter. It's quite a hobby. I might also have a hypersensitive bladder since it seems to want to empty on the presence of 4 oz of fluid and I know it can do better than that, since the tumor is gone. I can sleep all night now without peeing, which is great. But when I'm awake, I find myself wearing a trail to the bathroom every half hour.
