I'm a 21/f with suspected fibroids. I'm worried...should I be? |
I have pain on my side for a few weeks that wouldn't go away and after a couple dr. visits I was given a CT scan. They found nothing wrong with my kidneys which they suspected may be the cause but I was told they saw something wrong. They believed it was fibroid(s) and I should go to the ob/gyn asap. I left not knowing what it even was and if this is serious or just a common problem. Please help.. I'm scared to make an appointment. Fibroid tumors (and don't let that word scare you) are a very common finding in women. They're usually benign and cause little problem. But first you must be diagnosed with this. At this point, you don't know that you have any fibroids at all. Your OB/Gyn will do a pelvic exam and may even do sonography. Please don't worry at this stage. Even if it turns out to be fibroids, they usually aren't a big deal and if necessary, they can be treated both surgically and nonsurgically. Source(s): I'm a nurse. Fibroids is another term for fibroma, an encapsulated connective tissue tumor. Tumors are supplied with blood vessels and are prone to grow. Depending on the location of this, health matters may be affected. Make an appointment, please. defin, go to the gyn, you may even have ovarian cyst like i do becauses that cause some pain in the lower abdomen, if your having severe menstrual periods, constant urination, or pelvic pain or pressure it may be fibroids or endometriosis, if you don't have that it may be a benign cyst which is kind of harmless but may have to be surgically removed, you should not worry though just go and see what they tell you A 'fibroid' tumor is BENIGN, but it can 'prevent you from getting or staying pregnant' and it needs to be 'removed' while it is still 'small' ... your's may be 'larger' because you say that you have a 'pain in your side' so the sooner you make that appointment the sooner your 'fibroids' can be removed ... and then you can 'go back to being just what you were before' you had them, or you can get 'infertility help' if necessary to get pregnant ... but you must first HAVE THOSE FIBROIDS REMOVED ASAP! |
