How fast do fibroids grow?!
Question:
How fast do fibroids grow?
referring to uterine fibroids. Can the hormones from breastfeeding cause them to grow quicker? if so, how quickly? Does anyone have any experience with this? I am breastfeeding full time, am NOT on birthcontrol and cannot get pregnant(hubby had vasectomy). I might have a fibroid but haven't had this confirmed yet. I had an ultrasound and I'm seeing my doc soon for the follow-up. I guess I'm just nervous and never get enough time at appointments
Answers:
In my case, uterine fibroids grew very fast. I had a surgery in 2005 to remove 28 fibroids of size 16 weeks pregnancy but they grew back just within 1 year as big as size of 20 weeks pregnancy.
Now I have to take another surgery to remove, may be, my whole uterus.
