Fibroids

[Manolo]

I just went in for sonogram due to pain and constant feeling of having to pee and I'm constipated a lot. After the sonogram the tech that did it said I have to go talk to the doctor. I'll be back. She was gone for 20 minutes. Any other sonogram I had they did it and said.. ok see ya. She came back and said that shes not supposed to tell me anything but they found uterine fibroids. LOTS OF THEM 4 huge ones. She showed me the sonogram and one of them was 4 times bigger than my ovary. I'm not sitting here waiting for my doctor to call and I'm a little nervous. The tech said that its very rare for someone my age (30) to have fibroids like this. She said they are going to order an MRI which I have never had. Anyone else go through this? Should I be scared?

Change doctors at once - if the tech cant follow the rules what else is she doing anyway she pleases? There are rules for a reason, as much as I tend to beleive doctors are quacks, the scrub wearing "techs" are wannabes (wearing scrubs are cool!) Probably not a viable diagnosis form miss Devry...

OK i didnt go to my doctor. I went to a screening place that does these and I'm glad she talked to a doc ( not mine) a doc that was there and told me. I was freaking out.

also this does not help me with my questions at all

Oh sorry, You should be terrified and ask for advice from complete strangers who are killing time by offering medical, legal, economic and lifestyle advice to those of you who need or request it.
Better?

I went through the very same thing. Take a deep breath, and relax. Then make an appointment with your Doctor, and make sure you pick up the Sonogram Report, and any pictures they have. Uterine Fibroids are NOT uncommon, no matter how old/young the Patient is. I am sure that you are fine.

Even if I have 4 that are the size of baseballs and and bunch of other ones of various sizes? I just talked to a friend that had one the size of a grapefruit and they did a hysterectomy on her a few years ago :(

why don't you make an apt with your gyn and see what they say to do about it. She might say wait it out she might say lets take the fibroids who knows. I wouldn't continue to freak out about it til you see your gyn and discuss this with them. They could say take it they could say your over reacting and they could not be that size. they can read the sono and tell what size they are and if they need to come out asap or just leave them alone for a while and see what happens.
