Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Seven months ago, I suddenly had a lot of pressure on my bladder that I'd never had before. I'm 31. I got an ultrasound and was told I had four that were 2-3 cm in my uterus and that they weren't much to worry about for now. But it felt weird, so I asked ot have another ultrasound 6 mo later to make sure they weren't growing. The second one showed there was also a 13x9x8 cm-sized one outside my uterus! It had originally been missed. The guy who read it said my bladder had been blocking it last time. The dr. said maybe the guy had seen the center of it when it was changing or something. After I got the new ultrasound, they sent me for a CAT scan, and it was incorrectly determined to be a double uterus. So they sent me for an MRI, and that confirmed that it was a big fibroid. Well, all parties recommend a myo and haven't mentioned a hyst, which is good, since I'm only 31. The dr. said I can get a second opinion if I want...I think they're right about my needing a Myo, but maybe 2nd opinions are good before ANY major surgery...I'm not sure. What do you think of 2nd opinions, just to be sure? It probably sounds like I need a Myo, right? What do you think? **Also, I'm in North Jersey so if anyone has had bad experiences w/any doctors there, let me know just so I don't end up with yours. Anyway, this group has been very helpful. I want to say finally that part of the reason I shared my story was to remind everyone to trust their own body and ask questions. I'm glad I went for a second ultrasound, because something didn't feel right. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
