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

May 18, 2004

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.
