So I'm 23 years old, and I have fibroids. Which is rare because I don't have any kids nor am I over 40. What can I do? Is there anyone out there with the same problem as me? My doctor doesn't want to do surgery thinking its not affecting me. Wrong. I'm in pain all the time. And it's getting somewhat worse. I've gained so much weight just from being on 4-5 different kinds of birthcontrol in the last year. Also is it really painful to have sex with fibroids?
