Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Just a thought...which came first....the chicken or the egg... Well, maybe the fibroids are leading to the tipped uterus? Mine is so tipped that I have to do gymnastics before my GYN can find my cervix to grab a hold and bring it into view to do my pap. It seems that each year it was more and more difficult to visulize my cervix. Maybe as the fibroids grew, it made the uterus more tipped and bent? Just a thought....

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Well, Mines been tilted since birth. Even 5 pregnancies didn't straighten it out. Just wonder if that is causing some bowel problems. Need to ask when I go back for post op visit in 2 weeks. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 I have a tilted uterus too. It was tilted long before the fibroids developed - this was picked up at my first ever gynae visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 The robotic myomectomy is something I've never been offered - at least, so far. Actually, I think Glitter Girl had this surgery, if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I would prefer a human surgeon...just kidding...sometimes though I wonder with the type of docs we get maybe a robot could do a better job...lol. I was thinking of getting the laparoscopic myo but after joining this group I've started to wonder, although I still think it is the best option as far as recovery and blood loss are concerned. But I think I'm going to see a reproductive endocrinoligist first before I decide one way or another. I'm going to ask my 'regular' endo to recommend someone.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Me too, I'm coming along for the ride on that bandwagon. I was wondering . . . they say about 1/3 of women get fibroids, and the doc told me about 1/3 of women have a tilted uterus, hmmm.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Me three. I am 47 with a tipped uterus and a 7cm fibroid. My male Doc has suggested the wait and see approach but he doesn't have pelvic pressure, discomfort, heavy bleeding and a bulging abdomen. Thanks for sharing your information and experiences. Carla, you are quite amazing! Thanks for helping all of us " fibroidally frustrated females " be more informed and support one another.
