Hi all I posted a couple of weeks ago about my fibroid basically after problems with periods etc I had a scan about a year and a half ago which showed 4 very small fibroids gyno said to small to be causing pain and just sent me awY with painkillers after pain getting worse last year near ovaries and still with bad period pains I was referred for another scan which they found an inguinal hernia which is neAr ovaries had a laparoscopic operation done a couple of weeks ago I asked to check out my fibroids whilst in there lol which he did but could only see from the top of uterus he saw a fibroid mass which he said was size of a big apple I went for my outpatient appointment last night for hernia and he had took a few photos of fibroid mass he found I was very shocked to see my insides and even more shocked to see the fibroid which looked big he wasn't sure if it was one fibroid or more than one as he was looking from outside of uterus my question is when they say a fibroid mass does it mean one fibroid or could it mean more than one clumped together also if it is more than one would they have to get bigger before they operate roughly working it out if it's one fibroid I would say it's about 11cm if it's all 4 clumped together I would say each one around 5/6cms each I'm just wondering if it makes a difference I really want them out now but worried gyno will make me wAit im seeing gyno 24th July ,I'm 47 had my kids and just want to get on with my life ,sorry I it's so long any advice would really appreciate it xx

the first question i'd be asking myself is the pain gone since they repaired your hernia.
also where are you up to regarding your menopause.
how are your periods now.
fibroids are suppose to start shrinking when your estrogen gets less after your menopause.
(unless your daft like i was and boost your estrogen with HRT)
i would say dont be in too much of a hurry getting your lady gizzards out if theres not a problem right now.
best wishes

i've had so many tests that all come back clear.
the digestivo people give me IBS tablets and i take B complex vits that stop my diarrhea.
they say my fibroi.ds have died and turned to rocks.
my pain is like a stitch

apart from ct scans with and without contrast an mri showed fibroids.
i wish i could get someone else to take a look at the cd that came with the mri.
i think all the specialists i asked had gotten the hump as i went private.
especially with me being a foreigner.
i've also had barium enema ,clear.
i also had colonoscope but had to be stopped as it was torture.
i really dont know what to do any more.
the pain is consistently lower left where i think my ovary is.
eating gives me jip and my poo became very pencil thin but these days its gone to mush.
i'm getting fobbed off with ibs so am being medicated accordingly,
my tummy is bloated and i'm scared to do any abdominal exercise in case something busts open.
i,ve always been fit as a fiddle until all this started three and half years ago.
at the onset i lost 10 klos, was doubled up with pain , freezing cold,hot flushes.
one thing that does niggle me is that very previous to this i had an accident when i slipped in a jaccuzzi and sat on a powerful jet.oops....
i've got to the point that i,m thinking none of these docs believe me.
so my new way to carry on in life is to take small amounts of tryptozol,
which really does kill pain.
i'm 67.went through menopause at age 43.but then took hrt for 12 years.
do you think i should start all over again and ask for an mri?
i wonder .

I think you have to be firm and say how you feel it has changed your life..when the specialist asked me how i feel i told him at times the pain is so bad i could jump of a bridge...he was shocked but that was how i felt.
I have been here before and had a massive op at 29 due to large fibroids..i know how bad it will get if they are left.My review from my laperoscopy is on the 30th July..hoping he will agree to do hysterectomy.
I do wish you well and from another fellow suffer know how you are feeling.
Sending hugs x

i have 15mm and 29mm fibroids in my right uterus
my questions are do u feel very sick with them?
do u have really bad back ache?
i feel mine have grown as i feel much worse.
with u saying youors were small i was just wondering whether my symptoms are the same cos one person is saying mine are small and doctor saying they big enough to be a problem.
all i want is to feel human again.
i also get horrid pains when i go for a bowel movement.
im back at doctors tomorrow and hoping to demand another scan cos im sure something is wrong xx
i hope u get sorted soon sue cos us ladies living like this sucks xx
