Could Fibroid Be Getting Bigger As Having Pain In Lower Back, Abdomen?
HELLO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING FIBROID FOR YEARS AND HAVE NOT SEEN DOCTOR IN YEARS. MY ADOMINE HAS GROWN VERY LARGE AND HARD, I HAVE STARTED TO GET LEG SWELLING AND REGULAR DOCTOR COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY FROM BLOOD TEST. I HAVE PAIN IN LOWER BACK. COULD FIBROIDS BE GETTING BIGGER
Hi. Fibroid could have been getting bigger, as you rightly thought so. But it is only an examination by a Doctor and minimum of ultrasound to know the size of fibroids and to rule out any other associated problem. Started getting leg swelling can be an indication of a more serious problem like a lump compressing on the veins draining the legs. You really need to go for an urgent ultrasonography.
