Uterine fibroids?!


Question:

Uterine fibroids?

If you have early signs but unconfirmed uterine fibroids on an ultrasound report will a gynecologist typically just do the "wait and see" thing or should other tests be done? if so what tests might she recommend? I had the ultrasound because of chronic abdominal/pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding.
I'll be seeing my gyno on monday and am trying to be best prepared to make the most of my time. the u/s showed some abnormal areas that suggests fibroids are starting to form.

how do they know if they are benign? do they have to do a biopsy? what I have is not very big at all. I'm only 27, and am done having chilren but no hysterectomy for me!


Answers:

i had many uterine fibroids. My early symptoms were heavy bleeding during period and lump in lower abdomen. I had anemia as well. Because of anemia I was really weak and I had dizziness. SO I went to doctor and doctor found the fibroids by ultrasound.
In my case I had too many fibroids so I had no other option then having a c-section surgery. If you have only 1 tiny fibroids doctor may remove it without having a c-section or may be you can squeeze the size of the fibroid by embolization ( blocking the blood supply of the fibroid). But only doctor can suggest you what can be done.
I had the surgery in 2005, then I was 24. Doctor removed 28 fibroids but they grew again very fast within 1 year. Luckily I'm pregnant now of 29 weeks with fibroids as big as size of 20 weeks pregnancy.
Good luck.
