Uterine Fibroids?!?! 14 year-old help!?!?


im fourteen years old and have really bad i mean BAD cramps. my mom says that most the women in her side of the faimly have uterine fibroids...

my periods are so bad that three heating pads (one on my stomach my back and my side) two advil two ibprofen two specified for cramps pills none of it works and i end up crying and not being able to sleep. ( i'm not one of the girly girls im used to taking beatings to my body but it hurt super bad!!)

so my question is:

do you think i have uterine fibroids?

if i were to have them removed at such a young age if i had them would i still be able to have a child?

help for the pain?

My wife has uterine fibroid growth, and they cause terrible cramping at times, along with occasional heavy menstrual flows. Fibroids are hereditary. As explained to us by a reproductive specialist, fibroids can increase in size over time, causing a thickening of the uterine walls, thus causing painful cramping and heavy flows as the uterus contracts to expel its lining during the menstrual period. Also, as a result of the thickening of the uterine lining, the possibility of pregnancy is hampered, sometimes greatly. Fibroids can also mess with the regular timing of a woman's period, so birth control pills are usually prescribed to help regulate the period, and of course, if a woman is on birth contol, she is very unlikely to become pregnant.

Now, my wife also has a hypothyroidism, which means her thyroid is not working well, and is not regulating her hormones correctly. Hypothyroidism is also hereditary. The fibroids she has have been greatly affected by her thyroid condition. The doctor we saw suggested a D&C (dilation and curretage, refer to the link below) as a possible way to relieve the effects of the fibroids, but it would not be a permanent solution, nor would it increase my wife's chances of becoming pregnant.

My best advice is to read through the info from the link below (it not only has info on D&C, but also on fibroids and polyps), talk with your mother, and schedule an appointment to see a doctor who specializes in the female reproductive system. You are young, and barring any other contributing health problems, I believe your condition can be helped, if not reversed. Only a doctor can tell you for sure, though.

GO to a doctor thats all i can say

if i were you i would go to a Dr. about it. i think you are far to young to have uterine fibroid but none the less any thing can be possible. most like you mite have endometreiosis . just talk to your Dr. there are a lot of things they can do for that . one of witch is put you on birth control .

Uterine fibroid usually happen when a woman is in peri-menopausal stage and not during teenage years. But this could just be dysmennorheria. You should get checked by your pediatrician

get your mom to help find you a gynocologyst.
they can do an ultrasound and a vaginal swab to tell you what's going on inside of you.
if the fibroids are big enough, they will remove them.
as for the pain, try going for runs, swimming, hooooooooot baths, and excersize.

Yep I think thats what I might have. I have to take Ferrous Iron tablets and Vitiman C because I am anaemic, the periods are really horrible, I walk around like a hunchback most of the time. I believe you can still have a child, I don't know, it depends if you ahve a hysterectomy or not. I just lie down most of the time, not much else i can do, life's too painful, I can't get up off chairs!

my gf used to hav such bad cramps that she would pass out from pain. she takes birth control for them now n it is all bettr
