Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Well, now I know what you've been talking about. Had my first " gusher " today. I was hiking in the woods, and every now and then I'd feel this moist heat just gush out of me. Needless to say, I was a mess when I got home. Time for a new tactic here. A homeopath I spoke with wondered if I had had a test for uterine cancer, apparently something done in the gyn office, in through the cervix and taking a sample from up there. Anyone have one of those? I guess I'm pain conscious, but how painful was that??? I finally found an ob/gyn I like but couldn't get an appointment for a month -- May 4. That seems like a long time to wait in this condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A family practitioner also told me that an mri can show whether or not a fibroid is actually a malignant tumor. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Would an abdominal or transvaginal ultrasound show a malignant tumor? My latest episode of the " gushing " came on yesterday while I was sitting at my table eating dinner. I passed about 8 clots(half-dollar size and larger) within an 1hr. to 1-1/2hr. with bleeding in between. I am going to see my Gyn tomorrow and wonder what she will do since I have had the two shots of Lupron already and she believes that the Lupron is not working for me.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 I don't think that homeopath meant that fibroids had anything to do with uterine/ endometrial cancer. One of the symptoms of uterine cancer is heavy bleeding,and bleeding in between periods. It would make sense to rule that out. The test for it is a biopsy done in the gyns office. The gyn will insert a catheter into the uterus and suction some material off of it to be tested. It doesn't take long. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Cheryl, I thought almost by definition that fibroids were benign. We know of the other side-effects that cause a host of problems, but I hadn't heard of them being malignant. ???? Besides, isn't uterine cancer different from the fibroid being malignant? - - - - - on 4/2/02 7:18 AM, SiCanto@... at SiCanto@... wrote: > In a message dated 4/1/02 8:04:32 PM Pacific Standard Time, > andreais@... writes: > > >> A homeopath I spoke with wondered if I had had a test for uterine cancer, >> apparently something done in the gyn office, in through the cervix and >> taking a sample from up there. > > A family practitioner also told me that an mri can show whether or not a > fibroid > is actually a malignant tumor. > Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
