i have widespread fibroids and recently felt a large hard lump inside my rectum, could this be a fibroid pushing through?

    I would think that it is possible, but a lump inside the rectum should not be taken lightly.  You should see a doctor asap.

    Hi there!

    See your doctor. I have fibroid pressing on my bowel - but I don't think I would be able to feel it in my rectum! I suppose it depends which type of fibroid - and where they are situated. However they can cause you to have really bad constipation which can make you more prone to piles. You can also get polyps there too - so get it checked out! 

    Hope all goes well!
