Question 1

can having a fibroid on the posterior of the uterus cause problems with bowel movements?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the fibroid is large and compressing the colon or rectum it can cause problems with bowel movements. Schedule a visit with an Obgyn for an examination and ultrasound.

Question 2

can a 5.4 cm fibroid sandwiched between the bladder and uterus cause bad pain? 65 yrs old and having pain for 1 month in the lower left abdomen. have had 3 d&c's in the past for problems. hysterectomy needed?

Accepted Answer

It definitely can: Other causes aside from fibroid cannot be ruled out. Your best reference regarding decisions about hysterectomy will be your Gyn  and/or primary care doc who can look at films in dynamics/ progression and try to link them with your symptoms and physical exam.

Question 3

feeling incomplete emptying of bowel. cystoscopy showed uterus moved from its place. any medication or exercise to relieve this?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Feeling incomplete bowel emptying deserves personal attention to the issues on indigestion of certain foods you consume; if identifiable for something, modify your
lifestyle without over indulgence. If not better as expected, consult GI specialist for detail. Cystoscopy would not see uterus directly, but bimanual digital rectopelvic exam may palpate to suggest uterus position. So, ask Doc timely.

Question 4

40yr lady complain pain lt lumber u/s show swollen bowel loop, faty infiltratd liver fibroid uterus, kidney contain concretion, what is cause n management?

Accepted Answer

Multiple issues: Swollen bowel loop--i don't understand description but this could be diverticulosis or an ileum.
Fatty liver: chronic condition associated with obesity and diabetes, can cause cirrhosis over time.
Fibroid uterus: common in 40 year old women
kidney concretion: I have no idea but maybe this is calcium deposited in the kidney.
No 1 diagnosis puts all of these together.  You need to see your doctor.

u/s rpt:"enlarged uterus lobulated contour&multiple uterine fibroids. largestfibroids@uterine fundus' posterior wall&left fundal wall 3.1cm.endometrial thickness normal,ovaries obscured byoverlying bowel gas" any tests/scan/type of surgery recommend?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Uterine fibroids are common as women get older and get near/past menopause. Most of them cause no symptoms , so they can be left alone. If the fibroids cause significant pain or very heavy menses, then they require treatment. The treatment can be in the form of hysterectomy (Removal of uterus) or some alternative local (new) treatments like vascular emblization. Good luck

Question 6

is a clean uterus at risk of infection from bowel full of fecal bacteria?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

i keep having pain in my uterus during sex and during the day. i also do not have regular bowel movements can that be causing this pain?

Accepted Answer

More lubrication: It occurs in 9.3 per cent of women.
Fortunately, the trouble will often resolve if the man takes more time with love play so that the woman's vagina relaxes and her natural lubricant flows, and if the couple use one of the newer sex lubricants like eros or liquid silk.
But if the pain keeps on happening, you shouldn't feel you have to put up with it.
Consult your gyn

If you still have concerns, see your physician or gynecologist for a rectal examination.
