Accepted Answer

Cysts and fibroids: The expectations for resolution of an ovarian cyst will depend on the size. Symptoms of fibroids often depend on the size and the location of the fibroid. Consider scheduling a follow up visit with your Obgyn who can go over these details and provide guidance on the next steps.

Question 3

wjat causes gas and bloating from fibroids and ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

See below: Gas and bloating should only occur with fibroids if they are very large and compressing the bowel. Similar to the experience you see when you are pregnant and the enlarged uterus causes those symptoms. They same would apply to ovarian cysts. They would need to be very large in order to cause that problem.

Question 4

hi, can a fibroid mimic pregnancy symptoms like nausea, bloating, slight cramping , headaches, food aversions, and backache and darkening areola?

Accepted Answer

Nausea, bloating,yes: Nausea, bloating, cramping can all occur with fibroids due to growth in the uterine size.  food aversions and areola darkening not so much.

Question 5

what can help bloating caused by ovarian fiboids?

Accepted Answer

Not related : Uterine fibroids would not be a cause of bloating per se. See gynecologist for fibroids. See GI for bloating evaluation.

Question 6

how to cure fibroid?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: The only way to get rid of fibroids is by surgery. One could take medication, such as birth control pills, to reduce side effects from fibroids if they have side effects like heavy bleeding or cramps. Fibroids are a complex topic, so it is best to talk to a gynecologist about options for treatment for an individual patient.

Question 7

what is a degenerated fibroid?

Accepted Answer

Dying fibroid: When a fibroid outgrows its blood supply, areas of it can die off. This event can be very painful to a patient, even causing her to go to the Emergency Room. For degenerating fibroid(s) on the right side, this can even simulate appendicitis. Degenerating fibroids often eventually calcify which can be detected on pelvic imaging (exs. x-ray, CT scan, ultrasound).

Question 8

what causes frequent bloating?

Accepted Answer

Maybe IBS, but...: The GI tract has a very limited # of symptoms to signal its distress--nausea/vomiting, diarrhea/constipation, bloating, pain, fullness, bleeding, etc. As you know, many of these characterize ibs, but are also seen with inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, malabsorptive, and functional disorders. Directed lab work, imaging, biopsies, stool studies are appropriate in excluding non-ibs pathology.

Question 9

anterior fibroid measuring 3.5cm ?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: Fibroids are very common benign tumors. They are found in a woman's uterus and can be discovered during a routine pelvic exam or pelvic ultrasound. If there are no symptoms (exs. Heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, increased urinary frequency) no treatment is necessary unless it is determined that the fibroid is preventing a fertility patient from getting pregnant or causing her to miscarry.
