Effects and management of degenerating fibroid?From: Avalon (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 14 Feb 2003 07:40:08 -0600 (CST)
Me again... Went to my gynecologist yesterday specifically to investigate right sided abdominal-pelvic-lower back pain that I've had for six or eight weeks now. (Background: I am 50 years old, no periods for almost seven months, endometriosis, recurrent fibroids, irritable bowel.) I usually am uneasy about massaging or exploring my abdomen but on Monday, after I made the appointment, I palpated the area more aggressively. The following day the pelvic pain was much better, the back pain was also ameliorated, and I had a bit of yellowish brown discharge. I wondered if I had broken a cyst. But the ultrasound finding was that I have cystic degeneration of a fibroid on the right side, and prodding it seemed to reproduce the pain, more or less. I guess this is a new development since my last ultrasound in November. I am also very tender, superficially, directly over the right iliac crest (hip bone). My doctor was skeptical of any connection, but it seems an odd coincidence, no? Could a degenerating fibroid perhaps cause inflammation in neighboring skeletal tissue? I am worried about the possibility of infection either now or later in this degenerating fibroid. Does anyone have any tips for guarding against this, and/or for preventing degeneration of other fibroids? Does exercise help? Thanks for reading,
-- Avalon
