---------------------------------

I was diagnosed with multiple fibroids 6 months ago.

had ultrasound &

MRI, " chock full " I was told too many to count. 2 are

lemon sized.

My uterus is approx 4month preg. size. My symptoms are

minimal which

I am thankful for, mostly bladder pressure &

constipation.

I'm going back in a few months for another ultrasound

& MRI to see

how much they have grown. I assume this growth rate

is different for

everyone. Has anyone experienced them shrinking

sleightly or staying

the same for a long period of time? I'm 35 and not

sure about

children, doubtful. My doctor is going to send me to

a specialist to

discuss options after my second MRI.

thanks

Hi Lili

I was first diagnosed with a fibroid which showed up

on an ultrasound scan 3 years ago, but it wasn't

thought it was the cause of my pains at this point. I

knew nothing about fibroids until the pains increased

1 1/2 years ago and the gynea sent me for a D & C- the

fibroid was the size of an apple, but no further

action was taken at this point. In 1 1/2 years it grew

to the size of a grapefruit and the pains got worse

and worse. Finally I had a myo 2 weeks ago. so they

can grow vey quickly- I would try to get treatment

sooner rather than later- I don't think my first gynea

took the correct action and in fact I'm going to put a

complaint into the hospital.
