During my pregnancy I was diagnosed with a fibroid that was on a stalk outside of my uterus lining. Later in pregnancy it tiwsted and reduced blood supply and it was the worse pain I have ever experienced. My dr basically told me that fibroids are common during pregnancy and that it would probably grow during it-which it did a little bit. It has been 10 months since I had my son and I have been experiencing some minor cramping. Also, it hurts when I have intercourse- which has always happened even before the diagnosis. My periods are normal- have always experienced bad cramping the second day. I have an apt with my dr next week….I am not 100% sure that it is even my fibroid acting up. Should I suspect that it may be?? Also, is pain with intercourse a symptom of fibroid- some days it hurts more than others. Thanks |

I’m a 45 year old Carribean Latina. I have a typical mixed race heritage, including African decendency. I mention this because I’m told those of African decent have a higher incidence of developing Fibroids. A recent MRI determined I had 20 Fibroid tumors of varying sizes – one of which is the size of a baseball. My doctor insists a hysterectomy is the only solution, given my age, types and number of tumors. |
