Women in their early 40s with fybroid tumors.

Good morning all you beautiful ladies..i want to share my story and get some feedback so i dont feel like im the only one experiencing. My periods have always been very heavy the last 3 months my periods have been pretty intense.i was bleeding so heavy that i bled right through my clothes i also get the real long pads plus they are pretty thick i was wearing 2 at a time and also passing humongous blood clots it was very terrifying i would pee and by the time i was done the toilet was filled up with nothing but blood when i would stand up i could feel the blood just gushing out of me i grabbed paper towels and balled it up to soak up all the blood that was coming out of me i knew something was definitely not right.. I thought to myself if i continue to bleed like this i may have to call 911. I ended up going to the er because something kept telling me to go after several hours in the waiting room they finally called my name i explained everything to the doctor so they ran all their test etc..come to find out that i have several fybroid tumors well becausd i was all by myself and not having anyone with me for any type of support didnt help me at all specially the emmotional support that i definitely needed at the moment. Anytime you hear the word tumor i dont know about you but it was scary to hear.. so after it waz explained to me i still didnt feel any better he told me that i probably should consider a hysterectomy well i didnt want to hear that so i never went back to him i really wanted a 2nd opinion but i got the same results so i have decided to just go ahead and get the surgery done. So let me tell you all because i was told that i have several tumors i also have one that is the size of a grapeffiut pretty scary huh? So with that being said explained the reason i was urinating every 3 minutes this went on for months the frequent urinating so then about a month ago something really strange had began. When i felt the urge to pee nothing would come out that was probably one of the worse feeling i had ever experienced so because of the retention they had to insert a catheter which is very uncomfortable and it has to stay in for 5 days ok so heres where i need to stress the fact that i am in alot of discomforf And i need to know if this is normal to be feeling like i have to constantly pee you know when you have to pee real bad and how it starts to hurt but when you finally do pee how good it feels to relief yourself.well imaginefeeling like you have to pee so so bad but never able to get the relief its the worst feeling that i have ever experienced. As im texting this i have the catheter in and in alot of discomfort.
.on top of all of this going on i have not had a bowel movement so all that pressure isnt making this situation any better its actually making matters worse bc now my stomache is packed and backed up bc i have not had a bowel movement in at least 4 days and it doesnt help that all of that pressure is leaning on my uterus then on top of that i am on methadone which is known to constipate me.. I am slowly coming down to get off completly so bottom line i have to have a hysterectomy and im ok with it i guess anything to get out of the misery im in now. Is there anyone out there that has experienced any of the things i have mentioned? With the catheter in i constantly feels like i gotta pee is this normal? I nust want to talk to someone that knows what im feeling and going through

Oh Wendy hon, I haven't had the experience of the catheter but I totally understand the type of bleeding you describe and the fear. It's such a vulnerable place to be in. I am taking herbs to help stop the excessive bleeding: Lady's Mantle and Shepherd's purse which help, let me know if you want more details. Also, how are your iron levels? I'm taking 160 mg per day so I know about constipation issues. I aim to eat 10 portions of fruit and veg a day which also helps with inflammation. Chia seeds are amazing for moving stuff through and ground flax seeds are also excellent and help the body metabolize oestrogen. Love and hugs. Xxxx

You have such amazing strength but Wendy you have to get the iron pills hon, after bleeding heavily for nearly 2 years I was very near needing a transfusion before being prescribed high dose iron. I'm still recovering, it can take a long time. Being iron deficient puts you in a slump , you are tired, depressed and run down all the time, you need to make it your priority. You do not want to end up in hospital having a blood transfusion. Please promise me you'll get high dose iron pills and a blood test done, once you get your iron up you will feel better. Big hugs to you. Xxxxx

I had to urinate frequently too every two hours sometimes even more espacially if i dranked 😒. The hhadeavy bleeding too i had to use overnight and extra long pads. Sometiimes i would hsve to change them every hour. There were times when i couldn't get a goodnight sleep because i had to keep checking my pads so i wouldn't bleed through my clothes. I didn't feel the gushing till probably 2010 and the horrible cramps years later. In April or March i started getting these excruciating cramps and very thick blood cloths. So i would just sit on the toilet for 20-30min to let all the blood come out. Everytime i went to the bathroom there was always 3-4 huge blood cloths gushing out back to back😲😔😒. I was so terrified and the pain was unbearable😡😠😤😢😭😭😭😭😧😦 my stomach would get hard the fibriods were like twisting or idk i can't even explain it and you could feel it on my stomach. I thought about going to emergency room but i didn't feel like waiting 2-4 hours to before being seen. Plus before that i had went to the emergency room because i woke up at 8am with horrible cramps😢😢😢😢 the right side of back was KILLING ME followed 💩. There was no way i could lay to make me comfortableI.

called my uncle crying to take me to the emergency room. Was hospitalized 3 days my blood level was to low at a 4 was given 3 blood units. Had to go back for another because my feet,legs were swollen because they gave me to much blood😡. Back to 5he story🤔. I didn't go to the hospital because i didn't feel like waiting hours and with excruciating pain. The pain lasted about 4 hours and happened like two more times. Weeks later i talked to a doctor about my laparoscopic myomectomy surgery and we set a. But prior i had talked to a doctor they did test told me i was a good fit for this surgery. I was secuduled March 20. To make it short ended up having an open myomectomy😬😤. Theres other options you don't have to have a hysterectomy😲. The Gynologist try to shove down my throat twice about getting the hysterectomy even though she knew i wanted kids. But i told her no i wanted to talk to a doctor spoke to the doctor told him i wanted a laparoscopic myomectomy he tried telling me he don't know how my uterus was going to be. I had did my research and looked at video's on youtube so i knew my uterus was going to to be ok and i could have kids. So he had me go get an mri and an abdominal ultra sound. And guess what i was a good candidate. Some doctors like to take the easier road which ever is easier for them. He sunt me to another doctor that could deliver😏😀😃😊. She told me i had onethe size of a soft ball that was in the back that might be hard to get it by doing a laparoscopic myomectomy i also had one the size of cantaloupe😒😡 but they were going to try the laparoscopic myomectomy and if they couldn't get the one at the back they would do an open myomectomy. Needless to say they did an open myomectomy i don't see any signs that they even tried doing the laparoscopic myomectomy like we talked about. My first period was light than the 3nd or 3rd day it was heavy after that it was just very light like spotting could of worn a panty liner 😲YASSS that's how light it was 🤗🤗🤗🙏🏾🙏🏾lasted like 7 or 8 days. I was SOOOOO HAPPY🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊😊😊😃😃😃🙊🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾.Do your research google it go on youtube!. There are other options like the one o mentioned or if you don't surgery theres other alternatives!! laparoscopic was less invasive i didn't want a c section cut but at the end it worked out 🗣NO HEAVY BLEEDING AND NO EXCRUCIATING CRAMPS!!!!! I will tell you thid the pain well not subside it will get worst. Don't be forced to do what the doctor say it's your body not theres. And if you do or don't want kids ypu have the right to keep your uterus. I've read on here that some had gotten a open myomectomy twice and i belive she was in her late 40's. So you just have to find a doctor that knows what his doing and has experince!choose what's best for you not what your doctot wants!!🙄🙏🏾
