Answers:
sure did and was it a pain! Have you had a transvaginal exam for fibroid tumors!? ( not cancerous) My periods got longer and heavier as time went on and I although my paps always came back ok the doc ordered a trans vag exam and discovered I had a fibroid the size of a 3 month fetus! I had a hysterectomy but now you can have an ablation done right in the doctors office to take care of the fibroids! The best day of my life was throwing away the box of super absorbent tampons with the back up pads for the overflow! Call your doc and make an appointment!Www@Answer-Health@Com
