Re: I have a question...Anybody have an answer??

Hi. Don't know if I can advise you but I can tell you that I had a

10 cm fibroid that was sitting on my bladder practically flattening

it. It caused me to pee so frequently. Your fibroid may very well

be growing. I would request another ultrasound and would be more

persistant about this with your gyn. Fibroids cause a lot of

pressure to their surrounding organs.

How long ago was the surgery? If it wasn't that long ago, it might be

bloatedness from operation recovery?

Does it change in different times in the menstrual cycle? Does it

change with different types of foods and drinks,e.g. gassiness,

weight gain, intolerance, foods that aggravate/help certain health

problems?

Have you ruled out other different conditions that could cause your

symptoms? - try a web search on the symptoms for possible condition

lists. Certain foods might help fight certain health problems, such

as cranberry juice.

I'm afraid I have no clue about the location of the fibroid and the

symptoms it will cause there. If you've only just had surgery

recently then I wouldn't think there'd be fibroid growth. I suppose

taking hormonal contraceptives could be a factor? Are your symptoms

listed on any small print information insert on any product you're

taking?

Could you have got a bladder infection or be affected by a catheter

in hospital?

I would have thought a GP or gynaecologist should be able to work out

what it is, if you have helpful doctors. It might well right itself.

Hi Kris,

I hope others have advice for you. I only have questions. I had one

surgery to have my 6 cm fibroid removed and my endometrial tissues

treated. So why didn't your doctor remove the fibroid when you had the

surgery? Now, if he didn't think it's the fibroid, what is it that he

think that's causing the pressure and pain? Some gyn can be very

experienced in fibroid, and many gyns are not. How about finding an RE?

But before putting your trust on the next doctor, have a list of

questions for him/her first.

Hi everyone...

I have a 7 cm uterine fibroid (size at last u/s 5 mths ago) Don't

know if it has grown any or not. The thing is, I didn't think that

there was any problems being caused by the fibroid until recently. I

have been diagnosed with endometriosis and recently had surgery to

treat it. I feel alot of fullness and heaviness in my pelvic area,

as well as a centralized pain where my uterus woudld be. The fibroid

is growing from the top of my uterus, pretty much right in the

middle. I don't know if I could be feeling this fibroid or if it's

from the endo. I don't know what to think, and my Dr. doesn't seem

to think it is the fibroid. I also have been having bladder problems

lately, which I posted about and think it may be tied to the

fibroid. Would the fibroid growing on top of my uterus cause pain

and pressure, along with bladder issues? I just don't know what to

think right now. Maybe I should see a specialist instead of my

regular ob/gyn. Who would I see as far as a specialist goes? Hope

someone has some advice for me. Thanks in advance to any who do.
