More fibroids found after TAH & BSO 9 months ago.
Posted , 5 users are following.
I haven't been on this forum for ages but I need some help.Had a ct scan last month to check Abdomen and Pelvis because of a bit of discomfort and sharp pains now and again.Shocked to receive a letter from the hospital with the results saying that everything is ok except for 2 quite large fibroids.I had severa fibroids removed during my hysterectomy including one that was about 20cms.I thought that everything had been sorted even though I joked saying that I didn't look or feel any slimmer especially after a 6lb fibroid was removed.I have constantly felt bloated since my op.I wondered if my op had been carried out properly.I have read that if some of the uterus has been left behind fibroids can grow again.I am going to my hospital on Mon for another appointment for something else so I am going to try and sort this to put my mind at rest.I hope that they have looked at the wrong ct scan as I had one in 2014 aswell.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Thank you

It sounds like you have been through a lot with regards to your pelvic symptoms. Although you no longer have a uterus, I think the best initial physician to see is an OBGYN, though a general practitioner would also be able to examine this problem for you. After a hysterectomy, the cells that can form uterine fibroids are gone. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that you could develop fibroids again. However, that doesn't mean that you don't have something else in the area that can cause those symptoms. Pelvic pain and bloating are symptoms of many other processes in the area that will need to be looked into. They can be a symptom of constipation or indigestion. You could be having pelvic pain from post operative scaring. It is possible that you have another growth in that area that needs looked into. Either way, its something that needs followed up on. I suggest that you schedule an appointment with your OBGYN, preferably the one that performed your hysterectomy. He or she will be able to take a more detailed history and a thorough physical exam to see where your discomfort is coming from. Your doctor may want to do some imaging of you pelvis such as an ultrasound or CT scan. Good luck.
