My uterus is enlarged measuring 10.6 x 4.9 x 6.4 cm and my endometrium is thickened measuring 1.34 cm. Pelvic exam revealed a mass (guessed to be a fibroid). My uterus is bulky, anteverted and deviated to the left, prominent and nodular. I have a deformity at the dome of my bladder from the overlying uterus. It looks on the IVP x-ray like my uterus is actually laying on my bladder, no doubt that it is pinching the dome of my bladder. During the IVP test, I was informed that my bladder was not filling properly and I was given 2 glasses of water to drink to get the contrast to go down and I was also told that my uterus may be causing this. I had mild bilateral hydronephrosis show up on a CT but a following renal ultrasound & the IVP of my upper urinary tract was normal (no obstruction to upper urinary tract). My question is what kind of problem exactly am I dealing with here and if it something that needs to be surgically corrected. My symptoms are severe including frequency (sometimes over 100 times a day), burning, incontinence, pain/pressure/numbness in bladder & kidneys, low back pain, grade 2 vaginal cystocele, with a very irritated & spasmic bladder with low capacity ability. I guess my main concern is if this could be a possible obstruction to my lower urinary tract. How could I find out? I have already had so many tests done. I’m scheduled to have my uterus removed this month and am not wanting to go through with it without knowing if it’s really needed or not. |
