Question 1

can uterine fibroid and back left side upper pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Uterine fibroids can cause back pain, though untypical for it to be in the upper back.  Fibroids can grow up to the level of the ribcage, if that gives you an idea of how big they can get.  I recommend if you are having left upper back pain, that you see a physician as it could be your kidneys or something else.

Question 2

can uterine fibroid cause middle left back pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These types of pains can be caused by fibroids and can be severe if they persist seek medical attention as these symptoms can be signs of other medical issues.

Question 3

i need help with the back pain due uterine fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Uterine fibroids: Please see a GYN doctor or your family practice doc.  If they are not able to help get a second opinion.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

had m/c 10months ago at 9 week's haven't been able to conceive since just found out i have uterine fibroid on back wall 22mm could this be why?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Uterine finroids impact fertility if they are intracavitary ( in the endometrium).  They can affect the outcome of pregnancy if they are too large at the start of pregnancy. You should have a discussion with your doctor about this.

Question 5

just diagnosed w/uterine fibroid(s).  don't know if it's one or several. severe low back pain, menses for 25 days.  are fibroids enough to cause this ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Ask person who made the diagnosis. Get a sonogram to see how many.

Question 6

can uterine fibroids grow/expand during pms and then shrink back down after period, or do they remain constant size all cycle?

Accepted Answer

More or less : constant over that short interval. However, the uterus itself, may increase in size as much as 50% around the time just prior to the next period. This could make the fibroids more noticeable. If fibroids, are actually fast growing this needs evaluation, exam and ultrasound with your doctor as soon as this is noticed.

Question 7

i was just diagnosed with uterine fibroids today and i'm having horrible pelvic pain that radiates to my back down my leg. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Need further eval!: Fibroids are very common benign masses of uterus. They may cause feeling of pelvic heaviness or pressure symptoms on adjacent structures such as urinary frequency, stress incontinence, retention, & constipation. Few cases of sciatica (back pain going down the leg) caused by direct compression of the lumbosacral trunk by fibroids have been reported. Given severity of your pain, please see a doctor!

Question 8

is lower back ache a symptom of uterine fibroids?

Accepted Answer

It can be: Depending on the location and size of the tumors, many women experience back aches.

Question 9

how big does a uterine fibroid have to be to cause severe back pain? severe back  pain with weakness in left leg

Accepted Answer

Any: But usually those &gt;4cm likely to be symptomatic.  Any fibroid that is dying (necrosis) can cause severe pains.  Doctors always should consider other causes, though, because the more common symptom of a fibroid is bleeding--not pain.

Question 10

i was recently told that i have uterine fibroids on the outside of my ute. and also have white patches on my cervix. have bad lower back pain lately.

Accepted Answer

Fibroids &amp; pain: When uterine fibroids produce such severe pain, they are usually beginning to degenerate (rot on the inside). You need to see a GYN MD and discuss options for treatment.
