Fibroid Uterine Cysts
How urgently do I need to get ultrasound for cysts and fibroid tumors?
My first post-partum period finally came and I was having to change a super tampon and pad every 45 minutes, so they made me go the ER. I wasn’t anemic and they couldn’t find a cause, so they said I need to get the ultrasound to rule out ovarian cysts or uterine fibroid tumors. My OB from my pregnancy called me and said to just make the appointment with her, but her first availability isn’t until 8/25. I am still bleeding very heavily, though not as bad as two days ago. Do I need to be seen sooner or is it OK to wait that long?
I wouldn’t trust them on the urgent situation. They told me the bleeding was urgent and then bounced me around three appointments before telling me to go to the ER. Then at the ER, I was laying there two hours before they even checked anything other than my blood pressure and temp.
Tell your OB your concerns and ask her if it’s okay to wait or should you find someone you can see sooner. You realize that 8/25 is only a little over a week away?
