Fibroid Symptoms Treatment
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Fibroid tumours.. Would like answers from women who’ve experienced them 
?
What were your symptoms?
What kind of tests do they do to diagnose them?
What treatment did you have?
If you had surgery, how long did you have to be in hospital? And were you capable of driving yourself home afterwards? What is the recovery like? Pain, etc..
Any other info you can tell me would be much appreciated! I’m asking on behalf of my mother who thinks she may have them and is seeing a doctor soon, and is kind of freaking out about it..
My doctor says I have some. She showed me on the ultrasound.
She says they’re harmless and will probably lessen once I get into menopause; until that time, if they do not bother me and don’t grow fast, they can stay.
They’re not bothering me at all… they just make my periods a tad heavier. So I got myself a menstrual cup and now that doesn’t bother me anymore either.
If things stay like this, then it’s not likely that I’ll need to have them removed.
Linked below is a good, informative page.
