I have also been diagnosed with a massive amount of fibroid cysts and I need a hysterectomy but I do not have insurance so I just deal withthecrampimg and heavy periods. My question is if the cysts are somehow effecting my bowels.?
If fibroids become large enough they can theoretically impinge upon rectum, though not commonly. You should use stool softeners like high fibre diet.. In the meanwhile you should seek gynecological opinion for fibroids
