inutero fibroids, ovarian cysts and enlarged uterus

Hello. I'm 36 year old and I have some questions about my present health state and prognosis. About two months back I have noticed a strange vaginal discharge and felt some lower abdominal cramps.
I didn’t know what could be the cause of all this.
So, after a month I have contacted my GP who, doing an ultrasound, determined that I have developed some fibroids in my uterus and some several cysts on my ovaries. Just to be sure, he has scheduled me examination with some specialist in a few days and I'm just wondering what I could expect to find out more. What are my options for treatment?

Hello. I'm very sorry because of your condition and I'm just hopping that you already have some children.
I'm saying this because if it is true what your GP told you, you might expect an operation as your only effective treatment.
The operation is called hysterectomy and you will not be able to have any more kids after it. Fibroids found in uterus are covering the normal uterus glands and tissue and fertilized egg can't implant it self to uterus wall. This can cause miscarriage and excessive bleeding so, maybe the best for you is to have this operation as quick as possible.
Ovarian cysts and fibroids can even grow into a tumor so, you are aware now that quick treatment is necessary.

Hi everyone:

I am 32 and have had completely normal periods until last month. I went to the emergency room because I started bleeding very heavily and thought I was hemmroaging. The doctor did a pelvic exam and said that my uterus was enlarged. I have been having a dull ache and sometimes more sharper pain over my right lower abdomen and I feel like there is a golf ball or something where I think my right ovary is.

I have talked with family and friends who have had cysts and endometriosis but I am not having all of the symptoms they had. Should I worry about this?

jenn2015 I had the exact thing happen to me and now found out its a tumor please seek further tretment and see if its the same for you.they did a biopsy now waiting for results to see if its cancer ..angela

I am a nurse and wanted to reassure the original poster that having fibroids does not always mean that a hysterectomy is necessary. Contrary to what Pam said, fibroids can be treated, often controlled, and do not always necessitate having to remove the uterus. A woman can receive different treatments available today that will help control her fibroids and still be able to have children. I had one very large fibroid outside my uterus and the fibroid was removed without complication, and I still have my uterus. There are various treatments and one should discuss this with their doctor or a specialist. A hysterectomy can be avoided most of the time unless a woman has already had her children and she just would rather have it removed. Having fibroids does not mean that a woman is in for a hysterectomy.

Hi, i am a 28 year old lady without children, i went for an ultrasound and the result was that i have an enlarged lobulated uterus measuring 16cmlong. the result also shows that i have a myomatus uterus with several discrete intramural fibriods with the largest measuring 9cm. What are my chances of getting ptrgnant?

Hi, I am a 44 yr. old with 3 children. I found out today that I have an enlarged uterus and a cyst or ? in my right breast. I have been having longer periods and more painful cramping over the last 3 or 4 months. I go next week for an ultrasound on my breast and my uterus. I don't know what to expect. I've also been hurting in the lower part of my stomach for no apparent reasons over the last few months. I'm really scared, my Mom had to have a hysterectomy years ago and she also lost one breast to cancer. So I have alot of reasons to be terrified. I am really scared. I also have one daughter.

I am 20 years old. I had a baby about 17 months ago. I ended up needing a C-section during the birth. It seems as though my uterus is still enlarged, and there seems to be a weird fluid/gushy thing right above my belly button. A couple of months after i had my daughter, i had some cysts on my ovaries; and i was experiencing great pain. I have not had that pain in a while, however this leads me to wonder if the two issues may be related. I thought that my stomach would go down more. I have lost all of the baby weight, and i run 3 miles 5 times a week. The only issue is that my stomach or uterus seems to still be enlarged. I know that i am not pregnant, nor is there any possibility of pregnancy. Is it possible that during the C-section some of the after-birth or fluid from the pregnancy is still inside my uterus? Or is my uterus still enlarged or why? Its really weird because i lost all of the baby weight and im back to normal except for my stomach. To add the little gelly type ball that is about 3 inches in my stomach is kind of weird as well. Maybe someone has some suggestions or ideas as to what the problem may be?
