What Causes Huge Belly In Women With Fibroids?
Question: Hi, I have been exercising like crazy. I am skinny everywhere except my belly is huge. I look pregnant. The skinnier the rest of my body gets the more pregnant I look. Could this be a cyst? I know I have fibroids, could they have increased in size causing me to look pregnant or is it just fat?
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound examination is suggested
Detailed Answer:
hi dear
I can understand your concern
in my opinion fat near abdomin is very resistant to exersise.
it will take usually 3-4 months of work up under the guidance of good trainer to loose belly fat.
usually fibroids will not grow that much size,how ever in a very rare conditions it might happen.
in case of abnormally big fibroids there will be menstrual disturbances also.
To rule out any rapidly growing cyst or fibroid it's advisable to go for ultra sound abdomin.
This will help to rule out any serious conditions
Hope I am able to answer your query
feel free to ask any further query
