Re: big clots and hevey bleeding after bowl moment

[Guest guest]

Yes, I have the same thing. I hadn't thought about those buggers actually

growing on my bowels, but I'm sure theres some connection with them. Diane

Hi, ,

I doubt that your fibroid has adhered to your bowel. Fibroids

typically do not do this. It's more likely that when you have a

bowel movement, the activity in the large intestine and rectum pushes

against the uterus and this activates the bleeding. If anyone knows

more about this, please step in here as I haven't seen an actual

description of this, but am trying to visualize what is next to what

in the pelvic region, and how a bowel movement could affect an

enlarged uterus.

When a fibroid adheres to your bowel & obstructs it the main

symptoms are intestinal pain & vomiting of bowel fluids (trust me it

happened to me) and yes it is very very rare.

It sounds like maybe the strain of the bowel movement is causing

your heavy bleeding...I sometimes bleed heavier during my period

during or right after a bowel movement. It is just a guess, though.

And, if it were a fibroid that was adhered to your bowel but not

obstructing it I doubt it would cause vaginal bleeding - I would

think your symptoms would be more bowel related. I don't think

fibroids on the outside of the uterus usually cause much bleeding

(someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) - I think fibroids on

the inside or in the uterine wall usually cause the most problems

with bleeding.

Good luck to you.

Hi . My name is Chris. I'm relatively new to this board and have

found it extremely helpful as I figure out what I'm going to do about

my fibroids.

I have months where I pass extremely large clots. Sometimes they are

very tough, with little actual blood. I, too, have seen an increase

during and after a bowel movements. My OB/GYN's theory is that my

blood clots are so large that my body almost pushes them out like the

delivery of a baby (and I have the pain to prove it) and a bowel

movement somehow aids/triggers the pushing out of the clots.

We probably can't prove that, but it's a nice theory. :-)

Here's my 2 cents: I agree that fibroids adhering to the bowel is not

the likely explanation. It's more likely to be intra-abdominal

pressure. That is, if you " push " with your ab muscles to make a bowel

movement, you are creating downward pressure on all the organs,

including the uterus, so whatever contents are waiting to be expelled

get an extra nudge. Same way " pushing " helps expel a baby.

I've had this happen too, but it only happens when I have to " push. "

If I have a bowel movement without pressure, this rarely happens.
