50+ years old. Had “complete” hysterectomy (i.e. ovaries also) several years ago. Am experiencing some of the discomforts I felt b4 the surgery…Is it possible for “fibroids” to grow back on other organs or to spawn other kinds of growths that may be causing the bloated feeling.

Dear Dawn-
Fibroid tumors are strictly tumors that grow in or on the uterus. If you had a total abdominal hysterectomy-you need to look for another reason for your bloating.
I would recommend a return visit to your physician.
