Fibroids Shrinking But Uterus Getting Bigger?
Dec 21, 2014
My latest ultrasound shows my fibroids are shrinking, on their own (I'm 55, perimenopausal) BUt the measurement of my uterus is actually a wee bit bigger.
Of my four biggest fibroids (there are others, not measured on the US) three have shrunk around an average of 30%. Three of these are subserosal, and one is intramural.
But the dimensions of my uterus have actually increased, though only by a tiny amount.
So my question is: how can the fibroids shrink that much and the uterus not shrink too? My only guess is the the subserosal ones are outside the uterus and perhaps not included in the uterus measurement?
This is only a guess. I didn't get a chance to ask my doctor for the reason, and she probably would not have known anyway.
Does anyone know how this can be?

Hi all, I am 30years old and recently went an ultrasound scan where they found a "large subserosal fibroid posterior into the right side of the uterine body measuring 7.9 x 8.5 cm." My gp referred me to a specialist and they could not fit me into an appointment for another two weeks. So, of course I made the appointment, but I can not wait for two weeks to know what this means! I was hoping that there might be somebody on here who has had a similar experience with a fibroid of this size and position, that could tell me what options were recommended by their specialist. Is this something which will have to be removed, and if so, is that going to be a procedure which will require bedrest and time off work, or is it a fairly simple outpatient procedure?

I am now 5 weeks post op. The tiredness is annoying. Completely wiped out. Also keep getting fever. Booked in with the GP on Monday but don't expect them to do much. Probably just get anti biotics again.In the up side though my tummy is shrinking. And I have yet to get my 3rd period so not all bad. Hope everyone is doing good.

Since last 01 year, I am suffering from acute pain around the vagina. MRI explained that Fibroid over uterus, sigmoid colon and uterus are cohesive with each other. Doctors have different opinion. Help me to diagnose the problem and find out the actual reason of pain.

I have not yet had my pre-op as the hospital seem to be slack, I wondered how long after taking esmya do the fibroids start to grow back? If they do? How long after finishing the 3 months course did people have to wait for there op? My period stopped while taking them, will it start again and will it be as heavy as before? My op is just to remove the 2 large fibroids that i have, as i would like to have another child. I am 42, so with time not on my side, you can see why I am getting impatient with the hospital!

Has anyone had any reduction in fibroid symptoms after taking esmya for a second course of three months. I have finished a first three month course and still have some pelvic pain. I wondered if it is possible to obtain an improvement with the second course of 3 months if not gained much in the first three months. There will be a 2 month gap in between as advised by the Dr. (They can be used intermittently now and not just prior to surgery).

I am 14years old about to turn 15 and I wear a 34A. My mom tells me to just wait and that I'll have boobs as big as hers. But I think she's wrong and when she was 13 she was a 34C or something. But everyone in my family has big boobs and I don't. I feel out of place because of that and I'm always being told to just be happy for who I am. I try but it really doesn't help. I think my generation has been skipped because I don't get the boobs I get a butt and no one in my family has a butt except me. Should I be proud of that? Plus what is a quick healthy way of getting my boobs bigger? Is there a drink or food I can eat?

I'm a 50 year old woman with a thyroid nodule on right side of thyroid. Thyroid function is fine and had biopsy 6 months ago which was fine, however the nodule was 2.6cm on last exam and it feels like its getting bigger so am quite concerned and worried about possible surgery and the risks.

A few years ago I noticed 3 relatively small moles on my pubic area and didn't think much of it. But it grew much bigger and there are another 2 new moles in that area. I'm worried that it could be melanoma as the size is rather big and it's black but I'm too embarrassed to go to a doctor because the mole is at my inner vagina lip while the other 4 are beside the anus. I'm so worried, please can any doctor here help to see if this seem like melanoma, from the pictures attached?

I am a girl, I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and my skin isn't pale but more "golden" colored. I generally tan pretty well in the sun and usually only get burned on my face and shoulders. I have never used a tanning bed before. however, I have a mole that's about a centimeter away from where my arm pit meets my chest that's concerning. It's much larger and darker than my other moles, it's a little bigger than a pencil eraser and is very dark brown and a teeny bit raised. The edges are chestnut colored and a little blurry, but it is still shaped like a circle (symmetrical). I am noticing it more often now than it the past, which makes me wonder if it has grown. I would get it looked at by a doctor, however the mole has always been covered by a swimsuit and to my knowledge, has never seen the sunlight. Does this mean that it couldn't be skin cancer?

I have recently found two swollen lymph nodes, one above my collarbone and one at the top of my jaw under the ear (not sure what this one is called?) both on the right. I have had night sweats for about 18 months, very run down and tired, and itchy armpits of all things. My doctor is thinking lymphoma so done blood tests and chest xray which came back fine. I am being sent to see a hematologist so just waiting for the appointment. Im guessing a biopsy is going to be the only answer to if it is or isn't lymphoma, i'm trying not to worry, hopefully it will all be fine.
My question is, the lymph nodes are slowly getting bigger every day, not by much but they seem to be growing. Is this somewhat normal? Or could this be a sign that it is somehow getting worse?
