Uterine fibroids?

Question

I learned that I have uterine fibroids today, the doctor don’t seem concerned, but I’m wondering if they’re the cause for some of my pains. Anyone else have these? What do they feel like or how have they impacted you or your pregnancy.

Answer

I’ve have/had them.
I had to have an abdominal myomectomy to remove a 9cm and 8cm plus some small ones. They were causing very heavy bleeding and back pain. I wasn’t trying to get pregnant then but I am sure they would have caused issues bc they were affecting my uterus with the bleeding.
I have some small ones on the outside of my uterus now. I am 10w3d and they are not affecting the pregnancy. I was able to get pregnant even though they are there. No cause for concern.

Answer

Hi! I have a fibroid that is on a stalk at the top of my uterus. I have had some pain with it, but it’s been managed pretty well with Tylenol. My fibroid is considered large...8cm....but my doctors aren’t concerned because it is on the outside of my uterus. They did inform me that there is a good chance I will have to go to the ER throughout my pregnancy for pain management as I get farther along. As my uterus moves up....I feel the fibroid more....it’s become more pronounced. But it hasn’t cause any serious concern!! Hope that helps.
